...Reconditioned and repainted in such unbureaucratic colors as pink, yellow and purple, old parking meters are being sold in increasing numbers for use in offices and homes as timing devices, coin banks or simply the latest examples of pop sculpture...
...stock company of five couples (one young, one old, one cosmopolitan, one black, one hardhat) lights into a subject. Last week it was sex, and most of the gags were past their prime. The premiere the previous week took on health and, without drawing much blood, did at least pink such vulnerable targets as Americans' hypochondria, overcrowded waiting rooms, and the inadequacies of health insurance ("At today's prices, the only one who can afford to be sick is Howard Hughes").

...robs a bank with his young buddy (Ryan O'Neal). It is a role that owes much to the character he created in The Wild Bunch, and the film itself owes similar debts to such illustrious predecessors as Red River and The Searchers. Writer-Director Blake Edwards (The Pink Panther, Darling Lili) is more at home with gilded entertainments than campfire yarns. There is the distinct feeling about Wild Rovers that Edwards could not wait to get off the prairie and back to the penthouse...
