THE INCIDENT
U.S., 1967
Directed by Larry Peerce
Starring Martin Sheen, Tony Musante
Approx. 107 min.
World’s longest subway ride, as punks Martin Sheen and Tony Musante (in their debuts) terrorize late night passengers (including a broken-armed soldier Beau Bridges and tightwad dad Ed “Heeeere’s Johnny!” McMahon) on a Grand Central-bound express from the Bronx. Filmed on a train mock-up, with shots of vintage locations stolen with hidden cameras.
Reviews
“Made over 50 years ago, THE INCIDENT remains an uncompromising and emotionally savage experience... a remarkable film that works as both a social commentary in microcosm of the issues of the time it was made and a wider examination of society that speaks to the world we live in now... a vital, confrontational piece of work that really has something to say about the worst of who we are.”
– James Evans, Starburst Magazine
