The Burt Reynolds Films
0 - Default Title
Description
Known best for comedies featuring fast cars and Southern accents, he also delivered winning performances in action dramas, romantic comedies, neo-noir thrillers and dramedies. Yet by the mid-'80s, his Hollywood star faded after years of him choosing projects that fit him poorly. He enjoyed a 1990s resurgence: returning to his 1960s training ground of TV and being more discerning in the films and roles he chose. That comeback culminated in 1997 with an Academy Award nomination for a film he turned down eight times before saying "yes." The Burt Reynolds Films is a film-by-film study of his career, celebrating the triumphs while contextualizing the trials. It chronicles one of the truly fascinating screen careers of any noted star and reveals a man who never lost his drive nor his sense of humor.
