Sheamus 1982 Mac Os Update
Featutred Feline: Morris the Cat hits the big screen in this film playing a tom cat named Cat who is a feral companion to McCoy. In an early scene, McCoy tells his latest love conquest that if a cat shows up to feed him. 'I hate cats!' she says, then asks, 'Well, how could you stand them?' 'He just stands me,' McCoy explains. We don't actually see Cat until well in the film when he is sitting on the edge of the bathtub in which McCoy is lying after being beaten up the night before.
McCoy's friend Springy (Larry Block) helps McCoy get dressed as Cat continues to sit on the bathtub.
In a later scene, McCoy sneaks into his apartment via the back way. He meets Cat sitting on the wall outside and stops to share a head butt with him.
McCoy then picks up Cat and carries him up the fire escape to his apartment where he gets him something to eat.
A woman named Alexis (Dyan Cannon) shows up at the apartment and comments on what a pretty cat Cat is.
Sure enough, McCoy and Alexis start to kiss with Cat in between them. One of the many scenes of cats caught between kisses on film!
Cat is then seen under the pool table / bed as the couple lie on top together after what was presumably some love making.
Cat is only seen again at the end of the film when McCoy comes home to find Alexis. Alexis has fed Cat, who is eating on the counter.
Previously Morris the Cat made a name for himself as a commercial spokescat for Nine Lives cat food, winning a PATSY award for his commercial work (the award was accepted by Morris' trainer Robert Martwick.) This was Morris' big screen debut, as explained in his official biography by Mary Daniels in 1974.
According to the bio, the film was shot in Brooklyn and Morris was brought on location for his role. Interestingly enough, it says his first scene entailed Morris approaching Reynolds after McCoy is beat up and licking the man's face. Reynolds was then to move to the bathtub where he is found the next day. The memorable scene with Morris sitting beside Burt in the tub and being found there by Springy was not planned, but Morris performed so well the director went with it. The part leading up to this iconic scene appears to have been left on the cutting room floor.
Reynolds was quoted as saying, 'I found Morris to be the most unselfish actor I've ever worked with in terms of the camera, but when it came to love scenes he was awfully selfish, I felt, and concentrated on his own gratification. However, that alone would probably make him a star.'
Morris is often erroneously credited as having also appeared in The Long Goodbye, but the biography states that Morris turned the role down because he was worried about being typecast. We suspect cat actor Orangey appeared in the other film opposite Elliott Gould.

Plot summary[edit]
New York private detective Shamus McCoy is called to the house of Hume, an eccentric diamond dealer, and is given the task of recovering some stolen diamonds. His investigation is thwarted at every turn and it is only when he is beaten by a gang of thugs to warn him off the job that he realizes that he's onto something really big. Using his friend Springy as well as Alexis Montaigne, the sister of a nightclub owner, McCoy digs for the truth about the robbery.[2] The trail leads to an Army colonel called Hardcore who is in cahoots with Alexis's brother, then full circle to Hume, who is behind the plot all along.

Production[edit]
Development[edit]
The film was produced by Robert M. Weitman, who had a multi-picture deal with Columbia, the first of which was The Anderson Tapes. Reynolds' signing was announced in February 1972. By this stage Buzz Kulik was attached as director and Sam Pessim was writing the script.[3]
Weitman had known Reynolds since the 1960s when he tried to get the actor to appear in a TV series The Lieutenant. Pixel pakz (ivan ramadhan) mac os. Weitman discovered Barry Beckerman's script when he was at MGM in the 1960s. It was then set in the 1940s. Weitman took the script with him when he went to Columbia and set it up as his second film there, getting Beckerman to rewrite it so it was set in the 1970s. Steve McQueen was suggested for the lead but Weitman wanted to go with Reynolds. 'To me', he said, 'Burt had always worked. I looked at things he'd done and said 'He's funny. He throws away lines like a Kleenex. He was like a hidden iceberg'.'[4]
It was the first film Reynolds signed for since publication of the Cosmo centerfold.[5]
Dyan Cannon had been in semi-retirement since her bad experience on Such Good Friends but agreed to make the film after seeing Reynolds perform on stage in The Rainmaker. 'It's Bogart and Bacall all over again', said Weitman.[4]
Filming locations[edit]
Filmed in New York City, military scenes filmed at Headquarters 1/101 Cavalry NYARNG (New York Army National Guard) located at 321 Manor Road, Staten Island, New York. End credits mention special thanks to The 42nd Division (Rainbow Division) 1/101 Cavalry
During filming Reynolds was mobbed by 3,000 fans.[6]
Military vehicles[edit]
The 'combat ready' (not props) vehicles featured in these scenes – Medium Tank M48A1, Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) M113, Command Track M577 and Truck Cargo 5 ton 6X6 M54. Other vehicles in the background Truck,Utility 4X4 M106 Recoilless Rifle, Truck, Wrecker 6X6 5 ton M62, Truck Cargo 2 1/2 ton 6x6 M211, Truck Cargo 2/12 ton 6X6 M35A2
Reception[edit]
Variety wrote a negative review of Shamus stating that the film is 'confusing..scripter Barry Beckerman drags in an assortment of mostly unexplained characters but some dandy rough work – and finales in a fine fog. Perhaps something was lost in translation to the screen.'[7]Roger Greenspun wrote that the film 'is full of appealing New York locations and much inventive action, ultimately amounts to little more than the kind of situation melodrama that the movies these days offer for excitement. On this level it is workmanlike, well paced, modest, sometimes scary, and sometimes genuinely funny.'[8]
Burt Reynolds said it was 'not a bad film, kind of cute. If the picture had been as good as the title sequence it would have made millions. As it was it made $5 million.'[9]
Sequel[edit]
Robert M. Weitman produced a TV movie about the same character titled A Matter of Wife.. and Death (1976) with the role played by Rod Taylor. It was a pilot for a prospective series that did not come to be.[10]
