Reviews

Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times of July 29, 1976, My Name Is Gator is yet another film of its kind with archetypal characters - as Ebert feared, not the last of the summer. The scenes would look like washing away the clichés of action and love films.

The lexicon of international films wrote that the film was "an undemanding, but quickly staged crime thriller in the style of television series".

Cinema magazine wrote that the film was "pretty flat, but staged rapidly".

The magazine Prisma wrote that the film contained "brilliant action scenes in the picturesque swamp forest environment of Georgia" and showed "considerable pleasure in self-irony" by Reynolds.

background

The film was shot in Savannah and several other Georgia locations. Its US premiere took place on August 25, 1976 in New York City . The film was released in German cinemas on December 23, 1976.
