Washington is a strangely unified team of completely fragmented identities, unbearably cute. Tight ends included, the offensive linemen are the "Hogs," a brand name incorporated by Starke, who did not waste his Columbia education. The undersized receivers, notably 5-ft. 7-in. Alvin Garrett (cut thrice elsewhere), are the "Smurfs." Those who synchronize their celebrations in the end zone are the "Fun Bunch."

Edwards' wife Julie Andrews is the doctor who eventually succumbs to Burt Reynolds, essaying the title role. Robbed of his truest voice, that of a self-satirizing satyr, Reynolds goes cute, little-boyish and awful. Even the photography is grungy; it looks like blown-up 16-mm. But maybe that is numerologically appropriate to a movie that is mentally arrested at a comparable...
