Thieves Like Us

Edward Anderson (1905 - 1969)

Thieves Like Us (later re-released as Your Red Wagon) is the thrilling Depression-era tale of Bowie Bowers, a young convict who has escaped from prison with two partners in crime. Once free, they set about planning and executing a bank robbery but things soon go wrong. In the fallout, Bowie falls in love with Keechie, the young cousin of one of the robbers, and they go on the run together. Thieves Like Us is a classic noir of lovers on the lam and was made into a film twice, first by director Nicholas Ray in 1940 as They Live By Night and again as Thieves Like Us in 1973 by director Robert Altman. - Summary by Ben Tucker
