Question
I have searched IMDB for this tv movie, but can't find it.  I saw it once around 1976 or 1977.  It was about a guy who lived in the future (possibly LA) where everyone needed a ID card and other hi-tech gadgets to get through the day.  This guy was old-fashioned and refused to go along, so he had to get around by fooling the system.  I think he was a detective as well.  It was light-hearted and funny.  The star was a tall curly-haired guy that seemed popular at that moment, but never took off.

Thanks!

Answer
Hi Marina,

I tried, but I was unable to find a TV movie that matched this description.  I wish you could think of the name of the actor.  My mind went to types like Tony Roberts and Dick Gautier, even Barry Newman and Sal Viscuso.  Unfortunately, I couldn't match anything.

If you come up with any details at all, let me know, and I'll be happy to try again.

Good luck!
