Two drifters meet on the road, one is fresh out of jail and has plans for starting a business, the other is on his way to meet his infant son or daughter (he doesn't know which) whom he abandoned. They go through several adventures and misadventures.
The seventies were the manneristic decade, and this is a prime example. It was also the male actor's decade, and that is not unrelated to the former characteristic. I had watched this film before, but remembered next to nothing of it. Scarecrow achieves what it sets out to do, I guess: the characters are amusing, the set-pieces are amusing, the two leading players are in their prime, everything runs smoothly. It is a time capsule, both in form and in content.
