About
A screening of the film "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three". Joseph Sargent directed this 1974 thriller, starring Walter Matthau as a grousing Transit Authority lieutenant who gets an unlikely shot at heroism when a group of criminals takes a downtown 6 train hostage and demands a million dollars from the flat-broke city. The film is engineered with perfect pace and verve, with Matthau at his hangdog best.
