Now I want to watch it again, it’s been awhile.
Burt, Sally, Sheriff Gleason, Hal Needham and the best underpaid product placement Pontiac ever did! And an oops caught before committed, Jerry Reed as second banana and singer!
Still, a fun 1970s movie with svelt wimmin, illegal beer, and preposterous highway feats that we remember 50 years later is an amazing cultural milestone at almost 50 years later.
The one criticism I have is how much the Gleason role blackened southern sheriffs for decades following. To those interested, while Smokey is a fun one, the later Needham-Reynolds film "Hooper" is just as fun, lots of high-jinks and recommended!
