Yet the recognition – and some of his athletic prowess – brings him some interesting results. You’d think that type of recognition would bring him more clients. Harry was a former football star, a good enough player to still be recognized by most of the people he encounters. He learns early on that his wife Ellen (Susan Clark) is cheating on him, then congratulates himself for confronting Ellen’s lover (Harris Yulin).

Must’ve regretted it every day of his life. “Yeah,” Harry replies, “but he didn’t see it. “It’s a beauty,” Paula says after Harry shows her the sequence again.
