Burt Reynolds stars as the Bandit in this seminal portrayal of rough-ridin`, beer-swillin`, sheriff-dodgin`, trouble-chasin` truckers. The Bandit`s has taken on his craziest haul yet: a trailer full of Coors beer. If he can deliver the goods from Texarcana to Atlanta within forty-eight hours, he`ll be $80,000 richer. Hilarious mayhem ensues, however, when the Bandit falls for a runaway bride (Sally Field). As they push toward Atlanta, the two have to evade Fields` vengeful father-in-law, Texas Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Jackie Gleason as the maniac Smokey of the title). The stakes get higher and the car chases more frenzied in this hysterical romp through the American highways. Charismatic performances by Reynolds and Gleason made this a huge box office draw. ITA winner. Academy Award Nominations: Best Film Editing.

A Song for Martin (DVD)
Danish director Bille August`s (PELLE THE CONQUEROR) touching tale is about finding a great love and losing it too quickly. Barbara (Viveka Seldahl), the first violinist in a Swedish philharmonic, is immediately, deeply attracted to Martin Fischer (Sven Wollter), a famous composer who is guest conducting his new work. Both Barbara and Martin are good-looking, middle-aged, and married to other people. Despite the obstacles, they fall passionately in love, and soon enjoy a blissful, charmed life together as husband and wife. They live in a quaint house by the sea, and work together on Martin`s compositions. However, Martin begins displaying some unnerving behavior--he forgets his manager`s name, and has sudden, terrifying moments of blankness where he doesn`t recognize the house. When Martin is diagnosed with Alzheimer`s, he tries to continue composing his new opera, but the cruel irony of an artist`s instrument--his mind and memory--being destroyed (as in IRIS) is soon apparent. Meanwhile, Barbara struggles to cope as her virile, brilliant husband deteriorates into a confused, weak man she doesn`t recognize. Wollter embodies the shambling, empty physicality of Alzheimer`s to perfection, while Seldahl (Wollter`s real-life wife) realistically portrays the frustration, anger, and sorrow of the loved ones forced to watch.NR"
