This film, about a pair of motorbike racers, is notable for starring Robert Redford, then on the cusp of megastardom. Here he's teamed up with the diminutive Michael J. Pollard for a friendship drama laced with the expected racing sequences, dust, and heat. There's also some relationship stuff thrown into the mix too and it's not all easy sailing. I was interested in watching this both for Redford's typically charismatic turn - although he's a little more subdued than usual here - and for Canadian director Sidney J. Furie, who turned his back on British B-movie cinema in favour of America. LITTLE FAUSS AND BIG HALSY is rather forgettable compared to other movies in both of their careers, but Redford fans will lap it up regardless.
