Dir. Richard Rush · United States of America · English
If God could do the tricks that we can do, he'd be a happy man...
A fugitive stumbles onto a movie set just when they need a new stunt man, takes the job as a way to hide out and falls for the leading lady while facing off with his manipulative director.
"Working with material that could, with a few false steps, have turned into a tony reality-and-illusion puzzle, the director, Richard Rush, has kept it all light-headed and funny -- it’s slapstick metaphysics."
— Pauline Kael
"O'Toole is excellent in his best, cleanest performance in years."
— Variety Staff
