Jack Lemmon does a great job as the harried, depressed businessman trying to beat the system in the 70's, but Brando should have won Oscar for LAST TANGO. John Avildsen made a better film in 1970 (JOE with Peter Boyle and Susan Sarandon), but creates a believable L.A. mood, although the hippie chick looks right but can't act at all. Jack Gilford is timidly authentic as usual and Thayer David is always a scary bovine presence as the "fire" man.
A 7 out of 10. Best performance = Mr. Lemmon. Nice script by Steve Shagan, but not as heavy as it purports to be. I'm really glad I saw this though.
