Description

Adapting his own novel, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and director Frank D. Gilroy proves himself a deft, roguish storyteller with this "black comic horror story ... reminiscent of the screwball comedies of the past" (New West Magazine). For sly, wry, myth-puncturing entertainment, set your watch to join Charles Bronson FROM NOON TILL THREE. Gleefully demolishing his customary iron-chested macho image, Bronson plays Graham Dorsey, a small-time bank robber who, through a series of offbeat twists and turns of plot, finds himself the object of national adoration. Jill Ireland (Bronson's real-life wife) is Amanda Starbuck, the bewitchingly beautiful but quite loony widow who creates the myth, then sustains it at all costs. Their remarkably attractive, absolutely straight performances suit this tongue-in-cheek tale to perfection.
