...grateful for the presence of actors who can make all this at least momentarily diverting. Tom Skerritt, as a young but already jaded detective, looks like a stoned-out combination of Jack Nicholson and Elisha Cook Jr. The late Steve Ihnat (TIME, May 29), a cop down to his white socks and rumpled plaid shirt, is required at one point to shoot himself in the foot with his police special, an ancient bit of business that he contrives to make fresh. The hero of the film, if there is one, is Burt Reynolds, who displays an enviable sense of comic...
...scene in Culpepper that is served up to him as a piping hot cliché: The Kid's First Drink. He handles the whole thing very gracefully by taking his belt, swallowing hard and flashing a quick victory grin at his disappointed companions. Bush, so good as Jack Nicholson's hillbilly buddy in Five Easy Pieces, is even better here-prickly and sardonic. The other members of the Culpepper outfit are stolid and laconic, but most of them (especially Luke Askew and Bo Hopkins) manage to be interesting anyhow...

Raquel Welch was there, and Ali MacGraw and Bob Evans, Elliott Gould, Polly Bergen, Jack Nicholson, Paula Prentiss, Rona Barrett, Andy Williams. There were plenty of Kennedys-Eunice and Sargent Shriver, Jean and Stephen Smith, Pat Lawford -plus a sizable slither of socialites. But the superstar of The Godfather's opening was Henry Kissinger. So many people wanted to be seen talking to the White House...
Sudsville-usually a small, vaguely Midwestern town-is a highly structured social community and a highly ordered moral universe. Evil is eventually punished there, even if it takes years, and good finally emerges triumphant after a prolonged purgatory. "If a man has an affair," says Nick Nicholson, producer of The Edge of Night on CBS, "he has to have a good reason for it. Then he should feel guilty and suffer so that we can salvage him. Finally, he has to do something noble; then the audience will feel better about him. The bonds of marriage on our show...
