But perhaps himself more. François Truffaut's lightweight sex comedy of the same name has been turned by Blake Edwards into a showcase for Burt Reynolds - Burt Reynolds, that is, and his waviest toupee, his wolfman beard, his yellow-tinted eyeglasses, his cowboy boots and Levis, his casual jackets and sweaters. And the truly compulsive (and homely) hero of the earlier version has thus been turned into a narcissistic playboy. The psychoanalysis storytelling framework yields great chunks of explanatory talk, as well as the memorable line from the therapist (female, of course): "David, I think I should warn you, you may gain a love, but you'll lose an analyst." Julie Andrews, Kim Basinger, Marilu Henner. (1983) — Duncan Shepherd
