I also must applaud Burt Reynolds, he did all his own stunts and it is one of the most impressive physical performance&#8217;s of all time. To top it off the film has an ambiguous ending, unlike anything I can recall and subsequentially one of my favorites. The only other film ending that struck me in a similar way (although completely different) is Luis Bunuel&#8217;s <em>Diary of a Chambermaid<\/em> and that ending was not ambiguous but surreal, completely out of character with the rest of the film. On reflection the ending of <em>Tristana<\/em> falls into this classification  as well. <object width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/hA1ynbWBfYI\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/hA1ynbWBfYI\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sergio Corbucci&#8217;s masterpiece Navajo Joe or A Dollar A Head will screen at the 2007 Venice Film Festival.
