"Phil Gaines is a bitter, cynical cop who investigates the case of a dead stripper/porno actress found on the beach.
Gaines is experiencing a troubled relationship with a hooker, and things don't get any better when the dead girl's father launches his own investigation." (IMDb)

Watched Hustle (1975) and it´s a very good noirish cop drama directed by Robert Aldrich.
The cast is awesome: we have Burt Reynolds of course (once again without his signature moustache) and Catherine Deneuve as his love interest,
the great Paul Winfield plays Burt´s partner Belgrave, Ernest Borgnine is Chief Santoro, Ben Johnson and Eileen Brennan are the dead girl´s parents and Eddie Albert is the sleazy Leo Sellers.

Burt and Catherine

There´s some action in the film but overall it´s character heavy. It´s almost two hour film and the tempo is pretty slow but i like it that way.
These characters are interesting enough and there´s lots of juicy and fun dialog on offer.
Sometimes the camera stays and watches the characters after all is said. I definitely feel some european influence here (not just Deneuve [Wink] )

The film has many bar scenes and Burt always drinks Bushmills.
All in all, this is entertaining mid 70s murder mystery which i highly recommend and watch out for the surprise ending.

You can also see Robert Englund, in his third movie, robbing a liquor store

Wow! Robert Englund looks young there,this sounds like a pretty cool Reynolds film atomik,the trailer to it makes it look like something I'd like as well,I need to check this one out I think.

There's loads of Reynolds movies I've never checked out but in all truth quite a few of them are pretty difficult to get hold off!

Very true, Warrior.

Hustle was released here on dvd by Paramount, but seems to have vanished without a trace nowadays.

I missed out on that disc.. [Frown]

Maybe the UK version is still available.. i'm not sure.

Paternity,the man that loved women,starting over,the rough cut,the end - though this has just had a blu ray release,best friends etc are all pretty scarce in certain territories,I think both - paternity and the - rough cut have never seen the light of day on dvd,stick was released on i believe a mod dvd- r disc,rent a cop was a no thrills fullscreen dvd release in the us so even some of the ones that have been released are shown very little love by there studios

Never seen Dixie Dancekings. I wonder why they won´t release these films.
They put out every b- and c-horror film there is (nothing wrong with that [Smile] ) but oh no, we are not going to release any Reynolds films.
