Boxcar Bertha
Produced by Roger Corman and directed by Martin Scorsese, Boxcar Bertha is a Bonnie and Clyde-like yarn set during the Depression. The title character, played by Barbara Hershey, links up with union organizer David Carradine (Hershey's real-life lover at the time) after the death of her father. Running afoul of anti-union forces, Bertha and Carradine are forced into a life of crime. Whereas Bonnie and Clyde robbed banks, Boxcar Bertha's specialty is trains. A story of this nature can only end in tragedy, and wait until you see Carradine's symbolic demise! For the record, there really was a Boxcar Bertha Thompson, and it is her autobiography, Sister of the Road, that serves as the basis for Joyce and John Corrington's screenplay.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Scorsese's worst film to date!
Okay so it was a Roger Corman film and was the budding Scorsese's early feature where he learned to make films for a wide audience.
But, it's... read more » - 881035

BARBARALICIOUS
A basically silly movie that uses many very good actors to less effect than would otherwise be the case. Yet Barbara HERSHEY is fabulous in the lead role and ... read more »

Top 10: Martin Scorsese
- 05 Mar 2010
Mean Streets (1973) Scorsese’s defining moment came at the age of 31, when his eighth film Mean Streets was put into production. Having previously worked on projects such as Boxcar Bertha and Street Scenes, Scorsese was given little free reign to work his magic. That is, until he was urged by his peers to finish the script for this gritty crime-drama.
