Max Taxable

Early Spielberg effort and also early John Williams with the score - their first of many pairings to come. Cinematography is top drawer. Working from a true event but had to put way too much false stereotype in it that doesn't do anything to drive the story along. The tone of the movie is a bit shaky throughout, and the directing is kind of sloppy at times, but all in all a fun movie. Ben Johnson comes across quite sympathetic in his role. Stream it.
