I only remember one scene. I believe it was made in the 70s, but could be late 60s.

It has James Coburn involved in some…thing. Someone takes a photo of him having sex with a woman for the purposes of blackmail (hey, it was the 70s. People got worked up more about things like that back then.) Coburn chases down the photographer and steals the camera, and makes a poster sized blowup and gives it to the guy he thinks is blackmailing him.

Sound familiar?

That’s the one I suspected it was.

Well, there’s still that element of doubt.
