Shamus, pasión por el peligro (1973)

Shamus

SHAMUS es un detective privado que juega al billar y a las cartas, que persigue a las mujeres... si se cruza con él, le volará la cabeza.

Al detective privado neoyorquino Shamus McCoy le gustan las chicas, la bebida y el juego, pero por el aspecto de su apartamento los negocios no parecen irle demasiado bien. Así que una oferta de 10.000 dólares por encontrar unos diamantes robados en un atrevido asalto con lanzallamas es demasiado buena para rechazarla. Sus investigaciones pronto se complican y se vuelven demasiado peligrosas. Al menos, en el camino conoce a Alexis.

Shamus is a 1973 American comedy thriller film directed by Buzz Kulik, and starring Burt Reynolds and Dyan Cannon. The word "shamus" means "detective" in American slang, although it is an uncommon definition in contemporary American parlance.

Production

The film was produced by Robert M. Weitman, who had a multi-picture deal with Columbia, the first of which was The Anderson Tapes. Reynolds' signing was announced in February 1972. By this stage Buzz Kulik was attached as director and Sam Pessim was writing the script.

Weitman had known Reynolds since the 1960s when he tried to get the actor to appear in a TV series The Lieutenant. Weitman discovered Barry Beckerman's script when he was at MGM in the 1960s. It was then set in the 1940s. Weitman took the script with him when he went to Columbia and set it up as his second film there, getting Beckerman to rewrite it so it was set in the 1970s.

It was the first film Reynolds signed for since publication of the Cosmo centerfold.

Dyan Cannon had been in semi-retirement since her bad experience on Such Good Friends but agreed to make the film after seeing Reynolds perform on stage in The Rainmaker. "It's Bogart and Bacall all over again", said Weitman.
