In "Shamus," Burt Reynolds is a New York private eye afraid of big dogs and keeps a beautiful ginger cat
He lives in a single room and sleeps on a pool table He is quite capable of pushing a heroin addict's face into the garbage He is certainly the 1970's version almost in comic-strip of the private investigator
Reynolds lives cheaply, yet is hired to pursue a theft of diamonds; he is big and sexy, and the gorgeous Dyan Cannon is only too happy to dally with him at the drop of a clue; and he is apparently so tough that he can take all manner of beatings and emerge unscathed
It is doubtful if he is the sort of man one would want to introduce to one's maiden aunt (the one with all the money), but he is certainly a character to fulfill all the audience's fantasies of violence, sex and thrills
