I saw this when it came out in San Francisco. Extremely bad film in all departments...except Delerue's music, of course. I would suggest fans of Ryan O'Neal and John Hurt AVOID this film at all costs. Insulting, humorless, homophobic, overflowing with negative stereotypes in the portryal of gays. John Hurt playing a severely closeted gay man in the police force is partnered with straight policman O'Neal to infiltrate....something or other - hey, it's been 30 years. But the bad aftertaste to this film lingers to this day. As an undercover gay police officer Hurt cannot even hold a gun in his shaking hands and of course, drops it at a crucial time.
The Score however is very nice. I wish it were in a different film. How bad is this film? Well, it flopped in San Francisco too. Not even a hunky Ryan O'Neal in hot pants (please) used as a decoy could save this crap. I seem to recall (I could be wrong here) that one of the creators of the original 'La Cage Aux Folles' was behind this film.
Sure, release the score and buy it! But avoid this film on tape or dvd if you ever cross paths with it.

I don't remember the score for some reason, but what I DO remember is the odd silence that accompanies the opening credit sequence, which plays as Hurt goes to see his chief and is waiting in the police station. I wondered if there had been a song used that was cut for the DVD because the sequence just seemed really odd without any music at all, especially for a comedy.

Beautiful end title! Wow, movie looks really bad. I'd pick up the score in an instant.
