In yesterday's mail Astrid received a package from our friend Dave. A black "Smokey and the Bandit" onsie with a gold Trans Am emblem on the front. Astrid's first cool, retro outfit. Thanks Dave!I washed it last night and here is Astrid modeling it today.
Smokey and the Bandit was a 1977 movie starring Burt Reynolds, Sally Field, and Jackie Gleason. It inspired several other trucking films including two sequels, Smokey and the Bandit II, and Smokey and the Bandit Part 3. Also, a television movie was loosely based on the film called The Bandit. The 3 movies introduced three generations of the Pontiac Trans Am sports car.
Think lots of car chase scenes, tongue and cheek jokes, expletives, and chatter over CB radios. The movie was even nominated for an Oscar.
