The Outfit
Directed by Graham Moore
Leonard is an English tailor who used to craft suits on London’s world-famous Savile Row. After a personal tragedy, he’s ended up in Chicago, operating a small tailor shop in a rough part of town where he makes beautiful clothes for the only people around who can afford them: a family of vicious gangsters.

He's even great in Mitchell if you watch it without the robots talking in your ear. Should be a Clint-level American icon. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

John Flynn 🎬 The late, great Joe Don Baker stamps his huge presence all over this movie despite the star-studded cast, which includes Robert Duvall, Robert Ryan, Timothy Carey, Karen Black, Jane Greer and Richard Jaeckel. Top notch 70s thriller. #filmsky #moviesky #RIP

neutral · AI labelView post →I think Point Blank is the best movie inspired by the Parker novels, but The Outfit may be the best adaptation -- i.e. the movie that feels most like reading one of Stark's stories. & features a murderers' row of character actors: JDB, Robert Duvall, Timothy Carey, Elisha Cook Jr, Robert Ryan (!)
positive · AI labelView post →#LetterboxdFriday Last Eight Watched. The Outfit marked the end of my Westlake/Stark film festival. I've been working on a review of Grzegorz Królikiewicz's debut, Through and Through; neither an easy film to watch or to write about, but ultimately rewarding (and only 74 minutes).
neutral · AI labelView post →A few months back I wrote in my newsletter about The Outfit (1973), the most faithful adaptation of a Parker novel. At the time, I had just watched it again ahead of being interviewed for the extras on this new @arrowvideo.bsky.social blu-ray. My copy just arrived, and it’s a great package.
neutral · AI labelView post →This new blu-ray of The Outfit (1973)—the movie that comes closest to getting Westlake’s Parker right—is out now, and if you get it you can watch me talk about Westlake, Parker, & the material shittiness of the 1970s. (And then watch Duvall & Joe Don Baker & Robert Ryan & (sigh) Marie Windsor.)
neutral · AI labelView post →I was gonna watch a Robert Duvall movie tonight for his 95th birthday, but there are at least twice as many I haven't seen as those I have (and I've seen dozens of them). The man liked to work! Too many choices, so I watched something else. For Tuesday, I'm thinking either The Outfit or Colors?

Cast: Robert Duvall, Karen Black, Joe Don Baker, Robert Ryan, Timothy Carey, Richard Jaeckel, Sheree North, Felice Orlandi, Marie Windsor, Jane Greer, Henry Jones, Joanna Cassidy, Tom Reese. #Noir
neutral · AI labelView post →My first goofy thought was “Oh, man, I *just* saw him in THE OUTFIT” (a film he starred in 53 years ago). In my mind, for just an instant, that was emotionally equivalent to “But I had lunch with her just the other day.” The power of movies and acting.
neutral · AI labelView post →In memory of the lovely Jane Greer, iconic classic film and TV actress on her 102nd birthday, most famous for her role as femme fatale Kathie Moffat in the 1947 film noir masterpiece OUT OF THE PAST, as well as roles in THE BIG STEAL, MAN OF A THOUSAND FACES, THE OUTFIT, AGAINST ALL ODDS, and more.
neutral · AI labelView post →Someone liked an older review of mine on Letterboxd and I want to re-recommend the film in case, like me, you've never heard of it. It's terrific and as good as better known films like it, imo. THE OUTFIT (1973)
positive · AI labelView post →not necessarily the best Parker adaptation (imho it's The Outfit) but it's far and above the best movie inspired by Parker
positive · AI labelView post →I am working on a #ttrpg called The Outfit ( #TheOutfitRPG ) It's focused on over the top fashion criminals, in a world that is basically a queer James Bond film that fetishizes the clothing more than the tools. I think this concept, and my rules, have legs. Now to get it walking...

neutral · AI labelView post →I wrote about The Outfit film in a recent issue of my newsletter. It’s a really solid crime film that gets the core qualities of Parker and Stark’s novels about him. And it’s got a lot of actors who are always a treat to watch!
positive · AI labelView post →Robert Duvall’s filmography is incredibly deep, but don’t miss “The Outfit,” adapted from one of Donald Westlake’s Parker novels. Lean and mean.

neutral · AI labelView post →A tough, straightforward crime film. My ★★★★ review of The Outfit on Letterboxd boxd.it/eM6aj9 #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →THE OUTFIT (1973)... pretty good movie in my opinion
positive · AI labelView post →1973 was a massive year for Joe Don Baker. Walking Tall, Charley Varrick, and The Outfit. Fantastic movie with Robert Duvall, Karen Black, and a host of other great stars. Another favorite of mine that's not talked about nearly enough. The Outfit (1973) - Trailer youtu.be/YBLuiXCGF6A?...
positive · AI labelView post →Flynn is a solid director and doesn't direct a single scene out of place here. At the best moments The Outfit feels like Friends of Eddie Coyle. Though it never reaches that level of transcendence, but it is a very good crime film.
positive · AI labelView post →THE OUTFIT...a movie that said "what if a Parker novel was way more shitkicker."
positive · AI labelView post →My #beyondfriday trailer has the great Robert Duvall playing a version of Donald E. Westlake's Parker character. "The Outfit" is a tense and perfectly judged crime movie. Duvall and Joe Don Parker make for a great pair of hoods. youtu.be/FhVohmYLB_o?...
neutral · AI labelView post →In remembrance of Robert Duvall, I’m watching 1973’s The Outfit.
neutral · AI labelView post →All three are fantastic. POTV is a Mario Bava horror/si-fi marvel (precursor to ALIEN). BABL (also Bava) is the prima materia of the Giallo genre. THE OUTFIT is the purest distillation of hard-boiled Donald Westlake ever put on film.

positive · AI labelView post →#NowWatching: THE OUTFIT (1973). Marie Windsor, Joanna Cassidy, Jane Greer, and Elisha Cook?? Gonna be a good one.
positive · AI labelView post →The audio commentators on the Arrow Video release of The Outfit recommend this movie and identify themselves as Jason Statham defenders. @itsphetz.bsky.social

neutral · AI labelView post →The Outfit = B+ / A- Quite clever. I'm always extra impressed when a good movie is pulled off in such limited space. The entire movie was shot in 2 small rooms.
positive · AI labelView post →This writer must really have egg on their face. (Also, the excerpt is from a review of THE OUTFIT, which as Leah points out is a pretty good movie.) moviemanifesto.com/2022/04/at-t...
neutral · AI labelView post →Interestingly, a viewing of The Outfit was enough for me to cast Robert Duvall as a critical side character in Frenzi: The Aryan Contract as an aging member of Murder Inc. when that one was written. He's good in everything, but he's extra good in that movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatched “The Outfit” with Mark Rylance last night. Such a good film. I had forgotten how much it feels like watching a stage play.

I'm not sure why this didn't click with 19-year-old me when I first watched this a long time ago. Maybe I needed more film noir in my system? 40-year-old me can now safely say that this is extremely my shit.

positive · AI labelView post →My minds gone so blank 😂 3 that I recall liking that are in the last few years are Hit Man, Red Rooms, The Outfit. But I wouldn't be surprised if you'd seen already, as an active film watcher 🎥
positive · AI labelView post →Ohhhhhh! Movie Night movies?? Did you see "The Outfit"..? It's a very "one room play" type of movie. 'Arrival,' of course. 'The Family' is fun as hell, idc. Stardust, too. 'Bastille Day,' although, sjdjkdkr, Idris. 'Parasite' is hilarious. Sjsjkdhdhjrjr....Newsies...
