TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN (1969)

This Woody Allen mocumentary - mock documentary - explores the incompetency of one petty criminal by the name of Virgil Starkwell. Following the childhood of Starkwell, the film documents his failed musical career and his eclectic penchant for bank robberies. Employing the technique of voice-over narrative and family interviews, the film is an eclectic expose on one of America's most interesting fictitious characters to date.

The cast includes: Woody Allen, Janet Margolin, and Marcel Hillaire.

Directed by Woody Allen
