Loot 1970 Movie Review From Eye For Film Reviewed by: jennie kermode. "orton's dialogue is wonderfully pithy as always and provides ample entertainment, but seems to box in some of the actors, who do little to reach beyond it." police corruption, sexual impropriety and hypocrisy in the catholic church may be pretty routine subjects for films today, but in 1970 they still retained some. Loot. out on blu ray at the same time as the film adaptation of earlier joe orton play entertaining mr sloane, loot has split two interviews with it. leonie orton talks about how she continued to correspond with her brother after he left home, and shares her impressions of his partner and eventual killer, kenneth halliwell.
Loot 1970 Imdb The film moves at break neck speed and all of the performers are hilarious. remick affects a perfect irish accent and attenborough seems to be channeling early peter sellers. o'shea nearly steals the film as a ridiculously understanding dolt. from the joe orton play with some disposable music by keith mansfield. 5 10. Two bank robbers, dennis and hal, are on the run from the police after a successful heist. needing somewhere to hide the loot, they turn to a funeral parlour where they stash the cash in hal's recently deceased mother's coffin. taking the coffin, they turn to hal's father and hide it in the bathroom of his hotel. before long the hotel is host to the eccentric inspector truscott.
