About this listen
In Episode Two of Director’s Spotlight, hosts Alex and Nate, joined by their Season One guest Evan, continue their journey through the films of Steven Spielberg with his first official theatrical feature, The Sugarland Express (1974).
This road-movie crime drama, starring Goldie Hawn, tells the story of a couple on the run with their child at the heart of it all. We dive into Spielberg’s early directing choices, the film’s themes of family and desperation, and how it set the stage for the blockbuster success that would soon follow.
From its critical reception at Cannes to its unique place in Spielberg’s filmography, we explore why The Sugarland Express remains an often overlooked but important milestone in his career.
