Lassiter (1983)
Director: Roger Young
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Somewhere in the Hollywood hills there's a computer loaded with a software programme called BuildaStar. A hack punched in the script requirements for this intended star vehicle for Selleck: an action yarn pitting an American loner against evil Nazis, bent coppers, a sultry girl-friend; sardonic sex with a lashing of perversity and gratuitous nudity; dare-devil stunts and chases for excitement; pseudo-moral dilemmas for the more intellectually inclined; period London settings (1939) for a hint of authenticity. The computer duly scanned the files in its memory, notably the ones labelled James Bond, The Sting, Steve McQueen's Motor-Bike Scenes and Cary Grant/ Negligée Number from Bringing Up Baby, and cobbled them all together into an Adult Entertainment.Author: HH
