Acomic sibling of sorts to Altman’s The Long Goodbye (1973), this similarly shaggy 1970s neo-noir stars Richard Dreyfuss as a “would-be Marxist gumshoe” caught up in a labyrinthine case involving an old flame, a missing student radical and a political smear campaign. A compelling mystery as well as an astute study of the failures of the flower-power generation (“Being a revolutionary in America is like being a spoilsport at an orgy…”), this criminally underrated gem is perfectly ripe for rediscovery.
