Tossup

A review championing this film begins by asking “How do you make a good movie in this country without getting jumped on?” In this film, a man annoys his companions by repeatedly telling a joke with the punchline “Don’t sell that cow!” A character in this film loudly berates another in a movie theater showing Gold Diggers of 1933 while a third character intently watches the film’s musical number. After a woman in this film reads her lover a (*) poem about the two of them, he overcomes his impotence, which he earlier alluded to with the line “I ain’t much of a lover boy.” Dede Allen’s elliptical editing for this film included cutting up an opening shot in which one of the title characters spots the other trying to steal her mother’s car. For 10 points, Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty (10[1])star as the title bank robbers of what Arthur Penn film? ■END■
