NOTES Set in the sixties Dreyfuss is a Jewish private eye who used

to be a Berkeley (University of California) radical. He gets

the job of finding out who is trying to slur a liberal candidate for the Californian governorship.

Dreyfuss plays the private eye as witty and laid-back. And in

a scene with the printer of some scurrilous flyers he uses the

printer's hearing impairment for a bit of witty banter.

Perhaps because of Dreyfuss's approach to his character we

don't really get involved in the increasingly complicated plot.
