"Thomasine & Bushrod" (1974) is a romance-western film written by Max Julien and directed by Gordon Parks Jr. The movie is a spin on the 1967 classic, "Bonnie & Clyde." Julien and Vonetta McGee team up in an underrated film that ventures into the Wild West, where these two lovers commit a streak of crimes over four years. A year removed from his iconic role as Goldie in the 1973 film, "The Mack," Julien continues to expand his versatility as an actor and writer. However, this was Julien's last role until 1997, when he played Uncle Fred in "How to be A Player."

McGee was in the prime of her career as she had established herself as a well-respected actress. The further I look into her career and roles, the more I am impressed. She was a phenomenal individual and easily one of the best actresses of the 1970s. Her role as Thomasine was authentic. She identified well with her character and delivered on multiple levels throughout the film.

Juanita Moore and Glynn Turman also appear in the movie, adding to a remarkable and dynamic cast. But, unfortunately, like many black films that make films that spin on other major Hollywood productions, their budgets are not comparable. However, this film is a solid adaption, which also took advantage of the booming blaxploitation era of cinema. It's an entertaining movie, so I recommend it to you.

Director: Gordon Parks Jr. Writer: Max Julien Composed by: Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson Title Song: "Thomasine & Bushrod" by Arthur Lee

Starring Max Julien, Vonetta McGee, George Murdock, Glynn Turman, Juanita Moore, Joel Fluellen, Jason Bernard, Jackson D. Kane, Bud Conlan, Kip Allen, Ben Zeller

Storyline While jailed, Thomasine (Vonetta McGee) sees a wanted poster of her boyfriend, Bushrod (Max Julien). She tracks him down, and they rekindle their relationship together. However, after Bushrod kills a notorious murderer, U.S. Marshal Bogardie (George Murdock) steps in and attempts to arrest Bushrod until Thomasine intervenes. Now, fugitives of the law, Thomasine and Bushrod, go on a bank robbing spree while the U.S. Marshall tracks them down.

Available on DVD and streaming services
