Review of Smokey and the Bandit (1977) by Gary Arnold for Washington Post — 07 Jun 1977
The direction, by a former stuntman, concentrates on the action and happily leaves everyone to their own devices, with almost nothing to do. Field shows what natural acting is all about, and Reynolds' send-ups of himself are, despite repetition, becoming more likeable.
Here his kidding around is exactly in tune with this fast-moving but essentially lazy vehicle.
