Review
Warm and witty crime caper set amongst the fading grandeur of a seaside resort. Ageing crook Lou has a Walter Mitty memory, boasting of a life spent working for the likes of Al Capone, but his fertile imagination is tested when he meets a young hippy in trouble with the mob. A modern classic.
