Ryan O'Neal gives one of his better, looser performances in this crime-caper, a handsome comedy-drama involving a high society thief planning a major heist. Warren Oates is the investigator in dogged pursuit, Jacqueline Bisset (at her most lovely) plays a love-interest in on the action, Austin Pendleton is very funny as a nerdy chess pro, and wonderfully blithe Jill Clayburgh makes a big impression in the minor role of O'Neal's ex-wife. Engaging fluff with tongue wryly in cheek, well-directed by Bud Yorkin. Terrific non-think entertainment for cable-watchers, yet this did seem a little flat when it played in theaters. **1/2 from ****
