This is my favorite movie. I guess. I have never even thought of this. You are right. I want to know why this movie has been buried. You couldn't even find this movie when vhs was around. Robert Redford has made so many bad movies, or should I say, movies that were so bad that you would think he would flaunt this one. I have to look at it again since you ask.

He's a pretty slimy character...he probably bribed one of the cops. I mean, he wasn't a convict, so they probably wouldn't have much of a problem in letting him in there to look around. I'm sure he could come up with some cock and bull story pretty easily.
