Sunburn

After a rich old man dies in a suspicious car accident in Acapulco, his widow wants his insurance company to pony up $5 million. A hotshot investigator Decker (Grodin) and a charming model (Fawcett) come in to check it out.

Farrah Fawcett, Charles Grodin, Art Carney 1979

This wasn't a movie that critics were kind about... one wrote this film further scorched Fawcett's career after leaving Charlie's Angels. The movie had a huge cast of names including Joan Collins (Dynasty) and John Hillerman (Magnum P.I.) but it was more like an episode of Charlie's Angels and it contains a car chase that seemed so long no one with any kind of interest could have maintained after viewing. Fawcett looks lovely throughout but the film was a box office bomb.
