Event
This is Not a Robbery
"I can't find a place in the Bible that tell you it's wrong to rob
banks"
"Thou shall not steal?"
"Yeah, but it's FUN stealing." -Red Rountree
In 1998, after 86 years of law-abiding life, Red Rountree was caught trying
to hold up a bank in Biloxi Mississippi. Before that he had survived the
great depression, made a fortune in oil, supported a family and, as he tells
it, "never even gotten a ticket for speeding." In 2003, after a six-year
crime spree, a few jail terms and a love affair with a 30 year-old
drug-addicted prostitute, he died at age 92 with the undisputed title of
"World's Oldest Bank Robber." Using material collected during Red's last
interview, conducted in prison months before his death, as well as stories from those who knew him before he turned outlaw and others who were involved in his many arrests, the film chronicles both Red's career as a bank robber and the long and strange life that led him to it.
