Yes, another movie where the setting is more interesting to me than the characters.  Rudolf van den Berg directed and co-wrote.

I saw this at the time and Marcel Marceau's "Non!" produced one of the biggest laughs I've ever had in a movie theater.  This time, I instead laughed at the "walking against the wind" joke, which I wouldn't have gotten at eight. Anyway, the movie is uneven, sometimes tedious, sometimes hilarious.  I think it's worth sticking with, especially if you want to count '70s "movie stars."  (I tagged as many as I was allowed, but I do have to mention I spotted a pre-CHiPs Erik Estrada.)  Brooks directed, co-wrote, and stars.

Reynolds plays a very unsympathetic character, and the movie is about football in prison.  Still, I think Bernadette Peters's hairdo and some other '70s trappings are worth a notch up from a D.  Robert Aldrich directed.
