You’re thinking of a 1981 comedy, “Chu Chu and the Philly Flash”, set in San Francisco. It featured Burnett as a colorful street performer and Alan Arkin as a former baseball pitcher nicknamed the Philly Flash. Burnett, 79, a native of San Antonio, Texas, made about a dozen movies, including “Pete ‘n’ Tillie,” “The Four Seasons” and “Annie.”
