SHORT TAKES

SHAFT’S BIG SCORE - Scores a big, fat zero. Also includes the longest, least interesting climactic chase in recent movie history.

JOE KIDD — A dull, routine western, enlivened only by Clint Eastwood’s hostile presence. The whole thing is as smoothly and prefunctorily put together as a General Motors car; when you see it on television next year you may be reminded of the Edsel.

FUZZ— Pin-up boy Burt Reynolds and pin-up girl Raquel Welch impersonate Boston policemen sent out to solve assorted cases of rape, arson, and extortion. It’s supposed to be hip, funny, scathing and tense; actually it s dumb, nasty-minded and dull. Reynolds delivers most of his lines out of the side of his mouth; somebody must have forgqtten to tell him that he wasn't on a talk show.
