White Lightning (1973)

Cooling his heels in federal prison, Arkansas moonshiner "Gator" McKlusky (Burt Reynolds) is offered his freedom if he rolls over and helps catch the remainder of his ring. Gator’s got an ulterior motive for taking the deal, though, as he heads after the corrupt sheriff (Ned Beatty) who gunned down his activist kid brother. Exemplary good ol’ boy actioner co-stars Jennifer Billingsley, Bo Hopkins, Louise Latham, Diane Ladd. 101 min. C/Rtg: PG

Hustle (1975)

World-weary L.A. plainclothesman Phil Gaines (Burt Reynolds) didn’t like it when he was saddled with investigating the death of a teenage girl under very seamy circumstances. He liked it even less once he learned that his high-priced call girl paramour (Catherine Deneuve) and her very connected client (Eddie Albert) were involved up to their necks. Robert Aldrich’s unnerving police yarn co-stars Ben Johnson, Eileen Brennan, Paul Winfield, and Ernest Borgnine. 119 min. C/Rtg: R

Burt Reynolds returns as "Gator" McKlusky in this free-wheeling follow-up to "White Lightning," as the canny moonshiner finds himself again strong-armed by the feds to help get the goods on a boyhood pal-turned-political boss (Jerry Reed). Crackling comedy/thriller, Reynolds’ feature directing debut, co-stars Lauren Hutton, Jack Weston, Mike Douglas, Alice Ghostley. 115 min. C/Rtg: PG
