Review of Freebie and the Bean (1974) by Daniel M — 21 Feb 2008
This 1974 Dirty Harry era genre, COP Buddy Comedy filmed in San Francisco, with two of my favorite actors James Caan & Alin Arkin who are two dysfunctional S.F.P.D Inspectors who nearly demolish the entire City Of San Francisco along with a clear wanton destruction of City property i.
E. classic car pursuit scene that ends up with there Police Car smashing into the side of a third floor Apartment on the Embarcadero Freeway Ramp ( demolished 1990 ) and a can't miss gun scene with Freebie & Bean unloading two Guns a piece at a hitman in a Sunset Ave Bowling Alley Men's Room Stall.
With a great supporting cast like Loretta ( T.V.'s M.A.S.H ) Swit, Mike Kellin Paul Koslo, Jack Kruschen and Valerie ( TV's Rhoda ) Harper plus the Title Music of Dominic Frontiere..... if you have lived in the Bay Area.
.. it's a must see.
