Found Fuzz in the library. (A Kino Lorber DVD--a couple of days after seeing Kino Lorber's The Image Book. Eclectic company.) It's not nearly as bad as you might fear...but after a promising start, not as good as you want it to be. MASH must have been the most influential film of the early '70s--you could probably list at least a couple of dozen attempts to duplicate all the stuff people liked about it. (The claustrophobic-movie-poster thread is a good place to find such films, including Fuzz.) Fuzz starts with Altman regulars Tom Skerritt and Bert Remsen; also, pre-American Graffiti Charles Martin Smith. Two really weird things: Raquel Welch is barely in it--10 minutes, maybe--and she and Reynolds have virtually no interaction at all, even though they're working out of the same precinct.

Odd trivia: the writer of White Lightning and its sequel Gator once spent two years in a French prison for attempting to smuggle guns to the IRA in Northern Ireland. William W. Norton, who also co-wrote Big Bad Mama.
