Little Fauss and Big Halsy is a 1970 American comedy-drama film directed by Sidney J. Furie, starring Robert Redford and Michael J. Pollard, also featuring Lauren Hutton, Noah Beery, Jr. and Lucille Benson.

Johnny Cash contributed the title song and other parts of the soundtrack, which also features both Carl Perkins and Bob Dylan.

The main characters are the inept, unsuspecting Little Fauss (Pollard), and the opportunistic, womanizing Halsy Knox (Redford).

Their partnership is finally broken when Rita Nebraska, a drop-out from a wealthy background, arrives at the racetrack and immediately attaches herself to Halsy, despite the attention Fauss pays her.

The two men race against each other a short time later at the Sears Point International Raceway, where Fauss tells Halsy that he has been drafted.
