Fuzz is a 1972 American crime action comedy film directed by Richard A. Colla and starring Burt Reynolds, Yul Brynner, Raquel Welch, Tom Skerritt, and Jack Weston. It is adapted by Evan Hunter from 1968 novel, which is part of his 87th Precinct series. The film was released by United Artists on May 24, 1972.

Production

Although the 87th Precinct novels are set in a fictional metropolis based on New York City, Fuzz is set in and was shot on location in Boston, Massachusetts. The film's opening-credits sequence was filmed in and around Charlestown's City Square station on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's elevated Orange Line (demolished in 1975), as well as the Red Line as it emerges from its Cambridge tunnel to cross the Longfellow Bridge en rout…

Reynolds recalled: "It was kind of fuzzy. It was made by one of those hot shot TV directors. I liked working with Jack Weston; it began our relationship. I did like working again with Raquel. And I liked the writer whose book the film was based on, Ed McBain, The 87th Precinct. I'd like to direct one of his books."

Welch was paid $100,000 for nine days of work. There was a scene in which Welch's character appears in her bra and panties in the men's room, but Welch initially refused to appear in it. Despite attempting alternate shoots, producer Ed Feldman said that "it just didn't work. . . . We promised United Artists we'd deliver a certain picture and we haven't got it."

Dave Grusin composed the film's soundtrack score.
