3 things about Peter Hyams’ BUSTING

Busting [1974]

1. Playing Solitaire in a toilet stall.
2. The hostage clutches tightly to her shopping bag as the gunman drags her out of the market.
3. “Dear Mom and Dad. How are you? I am just swell. A fag ate my leg.”

Not uninteresting as a time capsule. (The sequence in the gay bar is homophobic but fascinating.) However it’s nothing you haven’t seen elsewhere, done better. Except for Elliott Gould’s mustache, which is truly magnificent.
