Response
The film opened to good reviews and helped launch Martin Brest into film. After this film, he went on to make comedy films that dealt with cops, criminals, and some unusual ongoings between them. Most of what he would make would be crime stories with funny twists and characters: among the films he did were the original Beverly Hills Cop and Midnight Run. The one film that Brest did which was mainstream was the comedy-drama Scent of a Woman, which earned Al Pacino an Oscar for Best Actor. Brest's debut with this film marked the only appearance together of George Burns, Art Carney and Lee Strasberg: they did other films apart after this one and died in later years.
