"The Sugarland Express" is the sort of movie at which we have to look in retrospective. It's about Lou Jean Poplin (Goldie Hawn) who gets her husband Clovis (William Atherton) to break out of jail so that they can retake their baby who has been put in a foster home. From there, they lead every law enforcement officer in the Lone Star State on a crazy chase.
When this movie came out, Hawn was well known for "Laugh-In" and had already won an Oscar for "Cactus Flower". I think that Atherton was unknown, although he would later become famous as the EPA agent in "Ghostbusters". And of course Spielberg made his mark the very next year with "Jaws". I guess that this movie is sort of a before-they-were-famous situation. But it is worth seeing.
