Cancel My Reservation (1972)

 Second viewing; previously viewed on May 29, 2020.

I decided to view this film again because I didn't understand some of the dialogue on my first viewing. I reviewed it on that date, and maybe I was a little too harsh on it:

A TV show host living in New York takes a vacation in Arizona and is framed for the murder of a young Native American woman. His wife joins him and both join efforts to prove his innocence. The owner of a big ranch is involved in some shady businesses and might be the culprit.

This film has a mix of serious criminal drama and comic gags. Most of it does not work, but can be viewed with a small effort. Some of the one-liners are funny but most are just intrusive.

Rating: 39 (unchanged)
