What happens

Fuzz is a 1972 American action comedy film directed by Richard A. Colla and starring Burt Reynolds, Yul Brynner, Raquel Welch, Tom Skerritt, and Jack Weston. The screenplay was written by Evan Hunter and was based on the 1968 novel of the same name, which is part of his 87th Precinct, written under the pen name Ed McBain. (In the on-screen credits, Hunter is credited as Evan Hunter for the screenplay, and as Ed McBain for the novel.) Dave Grusin composed the film's soundtrack score. Noted illustrator Richard Amsel painted the poster artwork, featuring Reynolds in a reclining pose reminiscent of his famous centerfold in Cosmopolitan magazine that appeared earlier that year. Although the 87th Precinct novels are set in a fictional metropolis based on New York City, Fuzz is set in and was shot on location in Boston, Massachusetts. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
