Not the usual comedic genre, nor any caricature, but there are lots of little people:

Just saw this one for Blue Collar (1978) today. Had heard about Universal's botched campaign to hookwink viewers into thinking this was a Richard Pryor comedy...that's some comedy they got there...

Man so many failed/forgotten period pieces in the 70s

I always forget just how big The Sting was. On a $5.5 million budget:

The film received rave reviews and was a box officesmash in 1973–74, taking in more than US$160 million ($800 million today). As of October 2016, it is the 22nd highest-grossing film in the United States adjusted for ticket price inflation.[10]
But yeah, the imitators seem to have all vanished without a trace. You'd think I'd've at least HEARD of a Nicholson/Beatty genre picture!

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 2 November 2017 21:25 (six years ago) link

Right? And mike nichols too!

There's some good stories about The Fortune in Easy Riders, Raging Bulls. IIRC, Columbia was so hot to make the picture, both Beatty and Nicholson signed on with the stipulation the studio would greenlight a separate starring vehicle for each of them, which turned out to be The Last Detail and Shampoo, both of which had to be made and released first. Once preproduction on The Fortune began, it was discovered Carole Eastman's script was 200+ pages without an ending, and she wasn't really in the mood to write one. A fixer was brought in, but by then a lot of enthusiasm for the project had waned.

remembered slightly wrong. Wiki has even more stories...

When Warren Beatty was unable to stir interest in his and Robert Towne's screenplay for Shampoo, about an amoral hairdresser he had been developing since 1967, he bundled it with the more appealing The Fortune and convinced Columbia Pictures head David Begelman to finance both films. The fact that Carole Eastman, writing under the pen name Adrien Joyce, had yet to complete her 240-page script fazed Beatty less than it did director Mike Nichols, who needed a box office hit after Catch-22 and The Day of the Dolphin, both of which were critical and commercial flops.

The working relation between the screenwriter and director was amiable until Eastman objected to the many cuts Nichols was making to the script and his determination to make it less satirical and more slapstick, and she was eventually fired from the production.[1]

Nichols wanted Bette Midler to portray Freddie, but he changed his mind when, seemingly unaware of his career, Midler insulted him by asking what films he had previously made. He ultimately cast relative newcomer Stockard Channing, whose credits were limited to a few television appearances and a minor role in the Barbra Streisand film Up the Sandbox.[1]

Because the start of principal photography on One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was delayed, Jack Nicholson, who had worked with Nichols on Carnal Knowledge, was available for the role of Oscar Sullivan. During filming, the actor was forced to deal with two events that impacted his personal life. First, a fact checker working on a biographical piece for Time discovered that the woman Nicholson believed was his sister was actually his mother, and the woman who raised him was his grandmother. Then his close friend Cass Elliot died in her sleep, and rumors about the cause of her death circulated in the media. These two events, linked with the film's eventual failure, made The Fortune a subject that Nicholson never discussed in interviews and biographies.[1]

The film was shot on location in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and on a segment of street constructed in the corner of the former RKO Forty Acres backlot where the "Stalag 13" sets for TV's Hogan's Heroes were located during the Desilu days. Nichols did not direct another film for seven years.
