Toronto stands in for Norfolk, Virginia and there are 65 “fucks”. Do you really need more? There’s a script by the legendary Robert Towne as well as great, charming and early performances by Randy Quaid and Carol Kane. And the feature attraction: one of Jack Nicholson’s more controlled, complete performances (he won Best Actor at Cannes that year) – he is the fucking shore patrol!
