Rough Cut
Starring Burt Reynolds, Lesley-Anne Down, David Niven, Timothy West, Patrick Magee
Handsome but uneven romantic caper uses its stars' charm and chemistry to offset weaknesses in script. World-class jewel thief Reynolds falls in love with beautiful woman who's been set up to snag him for Scotland Yard. Filmed in England and Holland. Troubled David Merrick production went through four directors, and scripter Larry Gelbart used a pseudonym; hastily refilmed ending is chief giveaway.
