Who? was not v good, unfortunately. Wacky robotman premise aside there's just tons of repetitive exposition, w Gould doing his best to be a suspicious FBI hardass, but the plot is generally inert.

Warner Bros. reworked the film, changed the lead from a male to a female, cast Barbra Streisand ironically Gould's ex-wife and Ryan O'Neal and it became What's Up, Doc? Said director Peter Bogdanovich, "The only thing we took from “A Glimpse of Tiger”—and I don’t remember it very well—was the idea that the leading character had been to a lot of different colleges. He or she is very well-educated in a lot of different areas. And we put that into Barbra’s character."
WOW.

really, that connection is tenuous at best
i mean WUD? is clearly more of an adaptation of Hawks screwball comedies

It is interesting, sorta, but the politics of it are super-gross

Gould, Robert Blake and Allen Garfield might be the schlubbiest cast I've ever heard of.

In a one-to-one swap of Blake for Ned Beatty, Nashville wins that round.

the cast is great, but the premise (virtuous vice cops busting junkies, prostitutes, hippies etc.) is very reactionary/wtf

“Harry And Walter...” is a real folly but I enjoyed it. Exquisite production design, great cast and I belly laughed a few times so it gets love. Gould and Caan are fun together and on their own.

Elliot Gould is on cameo and that makes me sad.
