Reynolds plays a former star expelled from pro football for shaving points, fired as a gigolo when he beats up his patroness and thrown into a prison that might give Papillon pause after he steals-and totals-her car. Indeed, his lot is even less happy than the typical inmate's at Citrus State Prison. The warden, played by hard-eyed, mean-drawling Eddie Albert, is a football freak ready to do anything to get a national championship for his semipro club, staffed by the guards. He asks Reynolds to help coach them. But the team captain is also...
...evening was Todd Bolender's Souvenirs, a spoof of pre-World War I manners, mores and dress, with a setting that suggested a hotel in a Feydeau comedy. There is a small army of standard farce characters, including a jealous husband, a languid vamp, a preening gigolo. Weighed down with a pound or so of mascara, Manola Asensio was a wonderfully deadpan, sultry vamp, but the farce- predictable bedroom mix-ups, a boop-a-doop beachside romp-is forced...
There seems to be an impression abroad that the magazine, like a jaded gigolo, has run out of new techniques that titillate.

Firecrackers Banging. The same improvisational quality pervades the movie; breast-twisting rapes occur whenever the plot flags; sloe-eyed, heavy-breathing women chuff across the screen like freight trains; Dax goes through his life phases (from peasant to gigolo to millionaire) with a single expression -that of a man with a pebble in his shoe. Masochists, lovers of camp and chroniclers of the collapse of Hollywood will sift for years The Adventurers' riches of embarrassment. There is the waste of Charles Aznavour as a kinky sadist and Anna Moffo doing her mini-Maria Callas. There is Ernest Borgnine, trapped...
