Perhaps the most unfortunate feature of Goin' South is its unfulfilled potential. Nicholson cast John Belushi in a minor role as a Mexican deputy sheriff of Longhorn, and the possibilities of this team could have been endless.

Despite early rumors that the gathering would degenerate into an unmitigated orgy, most participants came with their garb securely fastened to their bodies by a unique assortment of pins, loops, staples and other flesh-concealing paraphernalia. Not a single...
Rich completely missed the boat on John Belushi; "fat comic actor" indeed! Jackie Gleason is a fat comic. Belushi is a brilliant Marlon Brando type who maybe needs to lose 20 Ibs. There's a significant-and very sexy-distinction...
