Search: Starring Burt Reynolds

It’s all incredibly creaky, decidedly low budget and, despite being co-written by Private Eye’s Ian Hislop, all rather toothless and low on chuckles.

Deliverance works brilliantly as both film entertainment and in exposing and critiquing the condition of the white middle-class American male in the wake of Vietnam and all that.

The action sequences are state-of-the-art and there is a chase through the busy streets of Chicago in racing cars that is genuinely thrilling.

The Dukes Of Hazzard is what-you-see-is-what-you-has.

The lack of any subtlety numbs the audience.

Catch one episode of this, and you are likely to be left in awe... catch more than on and you will start noticing the grinding repetitions.

Many of the sight gags still get a laugh, but the difference between Smokey I and Smokey II involves the appearance of a farcical kind of humour.

Funny and exciting, with non-stop action and set pieces.
