  One of the great all time good humor comedies. Well built cast with Burt Reynolds, Jerry Reed (had been successful previously in Gator) Sally Field (Hooper) and the great Jackie Gleason. Its a good time flick, is represented that way by Hal Needham. Just like Gator, Reed sings the theme and does a ballad as well. It was as life was in the mid seventies. The good guys were not so good and the bad guys were not really bad. A light jab at getting back at the system. Watch out or you'll miss it, its incorrectly listed as airing on 3-27, the actual air time is 3-38 @ 3:00 am. Smart play by TCM to air it during Oscar month - by honoring the work of Needham.

• Seriously, TCM?

  Okay, just had to comment ... Turner CLASSIC Movies is showing Smokey & the Bandit? During Oscar month?? What did it win an award for ... goofiest moustache on a leading man? Burt Reynolds isn't even a frickin' real actor!! Paul Williams certainly isnt! What is TCM coming to? Stick to the pre-1970s CLASSICS, why dontcha?

  The archetypical redneck comedy and the best of it's kind. Burt Reynolds accepts an offer to deliver Coors beer to Atlanta (It was illegal at the time of the film's release) in less the 24 hours. Jerry Reed accompanies Reynolds to Texarkana, TX without incident to pick up the contrband beer. Things look good until Sally Field joins up with Reynolds. She had just ran out on her arranged wedding to a dim-witted deputy sheriff.Her almost Father-in-Law (Jackie Gleason) is in hot pursuit of Reynolds and Field who are driving a customized Pontiac Trans-Am, for what seems to be the entire Southeast and into Atlanta. Gleason steals every scene he appears in and there are more than a few car crashes along the way.
