The first line is "Shit" and the second is "When's the funeral?" and by then it is plain that this is going to be an unflinching look at modern angst. Glimpses into the behind-the-scene pressures and shenanigans of the L.A. garment industry are pretty convincing; but there are also a hippie hitch-hiker and a fantasy about the phantom casualties of Anzio which are simply appalling. Jack Lemmon and Jack Gilford both do very well at playing outside their most accustomed grooves. Directed by John G. Avildsen, and written -- it is primarily a writer's movie -- by Steve Shagan. (1972) — Duncan Shepherd
