Mmajmiian allMHaiMMK HOLIDAY MATINEES AT ALL THEATRES ATRES ty unless they survive brutal assault and can prove otherwise. The two men are walking compendiums of the things good people-fear about bad cops. Yet the final sense of the film is that they are swell guys who need each other, and love each other and are entitled to our forgiv ing sympathy. Scripter Robert Kaufman, and director Richard Rush, who previously collaborated on "Getting Straight," have etched a world consumed by cynicism. But the cynicism inherent in the film Itself is more convincing Please Turn to Pg.

"May I use your telephone?" Arkin asks, stepping out of the wreck.

Yes, well. At that undemanding level, "Freebie" is efficiently and even brilliantly executed, although grievously misjudged in the matter of how much of a splattering good thing is more than plenty. But you'd have said that the same undemanding level demands that Caan (Freebie) and Arkin (Bean) be two hapless but lovable cops fumbling their way to inadvertent success. What you get are two malevolent jerks you wouldn't trust at a school crossing. Caan promotes himself a cashmere sports coat by threatening to report some of the store's fire law violations.

25, 1974 MOVIE REVIEW Shock for All in 'Freebie' BY CHARLES CHAMPLIN Time Entertainment Editor There is nothing like having a star pre-review the movie you have in your sights. "Garbage!" Alan Arkin is quoted in People to have said about "Freebie and the Bean," which opens today like a booby-trapped Christmas The set-side articles during the. making of "Freebie" in San Francisco read like battle communiques, and I got the feeling the peace treaty has not yet been signed. As a matter of fact, the movie opens with Arkin and James Caan as a pair of gamy San Francisco de- tectives dumping a garbage can into the trunk of their car and then pawing through the failed lettuce and spent corncobs in Two Action Hits!
