The CinePearl Take
Smokey and the Bandit is a 1970s English film that blends comedy, action and adventure — expect humour and a lighter touch and stunts, fights and relentless pacing. Hal Needham directs and the script comes from James Lee Barrett. Paul Williams and Jerry Reed are among the leads. Made in United States, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring English-language films. Released in 1977, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 96 minutes, it is a comfortable evening's watch.
