While Burt Reynolds had already brought his rugged good looks to various television westerns, he didn’t appear in a film until 1961’s Angel Baby.
The film was made to feature George Hamilton’s “talent”, a more serious followup to Where The Boys Are. It was not very successful, since we are supposed to believe that George Hamilton could not only beat up Burt Reynolds but also get the girl. George Hamilton was not that great an actor. Burt, however, seemed like a Star in Waiting.
