Review :
Uninvolving comedy about innocence lost.
Production values on this bit of fluff are stellar (it earned Oscar noms for Art Direction, Costume Design and Sound), but it is a curiously uninvolving comedy based on Ben Hecht's 1910 Chicago memoirs. Beau Bridges plays Ben with an innocence bordering on terminal stupidity. He becomes annoying after a short while. Mercouri's Madam Lil has potential but the role is not developed. After lumbering along for over an hour, it becomes a "chase" movie with corrupt politicians chasing after Ben thinking he possesses a little black book naming them all. This is one of those films that LOOKS wonderful but a few months after you see it, you can hardly remember a thing about it. Notable as Bridges and Kidder's first film.
