Best episode of the ones seen so far, WHEN THE SHOUTING DIES has Burt Reynolds' titular Dan August once again having to investigate yet another old friend for possible murder, only this time he and the guy have some chemistry, that being his future SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT pursuer Mike Henry (who'd play Jackie Gleason's dimwit son): he's a former football buddy and star on his own, owner of a restaurant and blamed for throwing a woman out a window, which opens the show with her getting beaten as jazzy game show-type music plays... other guests include Victor French, Geoffrey Lewis and Burt actually mentions the actor Jon Voight, his soon-to-be DELIVERANCE co-star... This episode has the same device of going from place to place with questions only the questions and answers are intriguing, and Burt comes out of his monotone this time... just a little more than usual.
