...good guy is a dog, Max's gray-eyed mutt companion, fearless and faithful. Another one literally erupts out of the earth. This is Gyro Captain (Bruce Spence), a deranged parody of the World War I aerial ace: scarecrow skinny, gaily clad, sporting a James Coburn smile with advanced caries. This would-be gallant is given to abrupt whinnies and wistful meditations on the good old days: "Remember lingerie?" The refiners are led by Pappagallo (Mike Preston), who carries the weight of his predicament with swaggering dignity, and Feral Kid (Emil Minty), an eight-year-old who growls...

...young Jack Reed determined to write a history of the place. When the fellow he had chosen to illustrate the book remarked that neither of them knew a thing about Harvard, Reed cried: "Hell, we'll find out doing the thing!" Beatty has shown himself equally fearless. Hell, he found out about producing movies by making Bonnie and Clyde, about writing them by co-authoring Shampoo, about directing them by sharing that job on Heaven Can Wait-and with each try won an Oscar nomination. But none of these films prepares one for his achievement here...
