The Outfit
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.

60 of 79 · most liked firstRIP Joe Don Baker. A great actor in so many great movies. Walking Tall. Charley Varrick. Junior Bonner. Cape Fear. The Outfit. 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...

unlabelledView post →The Outfit (1973) dir. 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

unlabelledView post →No wasted moves. Glenn Erickson revisits John Flynn's The Outfit, one of the great underappreciated American crime films of the 1970s, now beautifully restored by Arrow Video. trailersfromhell.com/the-outfit-2/
unlabelledView 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 (!)
unlabelledView 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).
unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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.)
unlabelledView 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?

unlabelledView post →On this day in movie history: The Outfit directed by John Flynn released October 19, 1973. 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
unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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)
unlabelledView post →not necessarily the best Parker adaptation (imho it's The Outfit) but it's far and above the best movie inspired by Parker
unlabelledView 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...

unlabelledView 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!
unlabelledView 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.

unlabelledView post →A tough, straightforward crime film. My ★★★★ review of The Outfit on Letterboxd boxd.it/eM6aj9 #filmsky
unlabelledView post →THE OUTFIT (1973)... pretty good movie in my opinion
unlabelledView 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?...
unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView post →THE OUTFIT...a movie that said "what if a Parker novel was way more shitkicker."
unlabelledView post →In remembrance of Robert Duvall, I’m watching 1973’s The Outfit.
unlabelledView post →If you haven’t seen her in The Outfit - make sure you do. Really great movie
unlabelledView post →#NowWatching: THE OUTFIT (1973). Marie Windsor, Joanna Cassidy, Jane Greer, and Elisha Cook?? Gonna be a good one.
unlabelledView 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
unlabelledView post →And CITY OF INDUSTRY is a rough and dirty crime movie I'd recommend to anybody recently turned on to John Flynn's Richard Stark adaptation THE OUTFIT. bsky.app/profile/mayb...
unlabelledView post →I'm just gonna buy The Outfit and just keep my Parker movie collection at it and Point Blank. Payback is fine, but I'm never clamoring to revisit it.
unlabelledView post →Okay, done, and yeah, I'm now 1000% sure whoever made "The Outfit" also loved this movie, it was so good!
unlabelledView post →Just watched The Outfit (1973) on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/batiopalomitero/film/the-outfit/ #FilmSky 📽️🎥 Post made with @letterboxdposter.finiteui.com
unlabelledView post →I just read The Outfit. Is the film good? 🤞
unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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.

unlabelledView post →Tonight I watched The Outfit (1973) via the recently released Arrow Blu-ray disc. 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.
unlabelledView post →#TonightsMovie is John Flynn's The Outfit, from Richard Stark's novel, and starring Robert Duvall, Karen Black, Joe Don Baker, Joanna Cassidy, Robert Ryan, Timothy Carey, Elisha Cook, and Anita O'Day Trailer youtu.be/zbWNR1QMY0k?...
unlabelledView post →Damn good film. Will be picking that up soon. John Flynn directed some very solid, gritty flicks, and of course followed up The Outfit with... 😉
unlabelledView 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 🎥
unlabelledView 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...
unlabelledView post →just got the Blu-ray of The Outfit. I don't get why a film with Robert Duvall & Joe Don Baker going hard against Robert Ryan and Tim Carey doesn't get played every weekend.
