Sunburn (1979)
6/10
once upon a time in murder investigation
13 August 2013
Richard Sarafian's "Sunburn" is very much lighthearted comedy. It's not a movie that'll give you belly laughs, nor is there anything serious or explicit about it. Most of the humor derives from Charles Grodin's and Farrah Fawcett's personalities bouncing off each other. Nonetheless, the movie is a neat look at Acapulco (although I'm sure that the city is a lot more developed now), and the car chase at the end is to die for. That's what it is. Nothing special, just a plain old comedy/murder mystery.

Aside from the main stars and Art Carney, other cast members include Joan Collins, William Daniels (Dustin Hoffman's father in "The Graduate"), Keenan Wynn (Bat Guano in "Dr. Strangelove") and Alejandro Rey (Carlos Ramirez on "The Flying Nun", on an episode of which Fawcett played one of his love interests).
