Right on schedule, The End has hit theatres nationwide, but this time there is a slight alteration from the usual Burt Reynolds genre. The End features Burt as a man dying of tuberculosis and determined to go "in a respectable way." Determined not to end up wired to a grotesque array of life sustaining devices, he decides to take his own life. It's not exactly the usual Burt Reynolds plot, and the movie is absent of most of the usual Burt Reynolds "goodies." There are no 18-wheelers, sawed-off shotguns, wild-eyed country girls, homemade whiskey stills or alligator?. There is, however, a wild-eyed maniac played by the much underrated Dom DeLuise. If Dom DeLuise and Burt Reynolds sound like a strange combination, they are. The team is the oddest couple since Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. The 1 J A*-I? -JJL-ll icain wui iu), iwwcva, <uiu aiuuiiu uiis oaoocui combination the entire hilarious movie is based. If not for Reynolds' charisma and fame, DeLuise would steal the show DELUISE IS at his best this time around. His impish, fiendish glares and toothy grins give positive credence to his portrayal of a crazed schizoid with mani depressive tendencies. DeLuise, without any doubt, has all the good lines in the movie.4'People say I murdered my father because he was too harsh to me," says DeLuise early in the movie. "Actually, I killed him because he was too Polish!"
