...Chevrolet repaired. "The main thing we've learned," says Borah. ' is not to believe automatically that the so-called experts know what they're talking about." Their latest target: a proposed Mississippi River bridge that they contend would dump an impossible traffic load onto the city's placid uptown streets...

Widerberg avoids this facet of his story until the film's historical pretense forces the issue. Obliged to include such a mob action scene in the San Diego sequence, he skims over the ugliness and jolts the camera so that most of the clubbing doesn't show. Either from disinterest or squeamishness he is unwilling to deal with Joe's life...
