Obituary Stiffs Director's Best Effort

Howard Zieff, best known for Private Benjamin, directed this overlooked, under-rated sweetheart of a movie, released in 1975. Jeff Bridges is at his most effectively charming -- a year after he knocked everybody's socks off in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.

Sadly, Zieff's obituary in the New York Times makes no mention of this gem.

And good luck trying to find a copy of the movie.
