RIP, Mr. Coburn
This is the movie for which I will always remember James Coburn, one of my all-time favorites. See my review--two corrections:
1) It's Godfrey Cambridge, not McCambridge (I think I was confusing with a Mercedes somewhere).
2) I overstate the disappearance of satire from today's art: The Simpsons, of course are a supreme, and supremely popular, example of the genre. I do think that it stands alone helps prove the point that good satire, though rare, is absolutely priceless.
This movie satirizes just about everything of its era. And that's "a good thing".
