Discussed elsewhere, the behaviour of the kids, and their grossly inappropriate language, is great fun. Matthau loved working with them, would hang out with them between takes and tell them raunchy jokes; thus he was one of them, not the star.
The Bears: Chris Barnes, Erin Blunt, Gary Lee Cavagnaro, Jaime Escobedo, Scott Firestone, George Gonzales, Jackie Earle Haley, Alfred Lutter, Brett Marx, David Pollock, Quinn Smith and Tatum O'Neal.
Music: Bizet's Carmen. On camera: John A Alonzo (I fear our print to be a shade darker than he would have liked).
I first saw it on December 27th 1977, gave it 7/10 and particularly rated Matthau, O'Neal and Alonzo. Tatum thought she was the big star but her performance had to be cajoled out of her.
