    I have no doubt Mr. Reynolds is partially responsible for my collection of speeding tickets. One of the greats. RIP

    The Bandit showcased the talent of 3 great ones: Burt Reynolds, Jerry Reed and Jackie Gleason. Burt will be missed.

    I thought that Burt Reynolds was a terrific actor. His sense of humour really communicated with folks,mainly i think because he actually had a sense of humour like that - ''he didn't act it'',

    So Navajo Joe is no more - I seem to recall the music score to the film was pretty good being composed by the same fellow who did Fistful of Dollars

    It was the Deliverance soundtrack that planted the seed of Bluegrass love in my brain as a kid. I've loved the movie and the novel since.
