I got to see the last forty-five minutes to an hour this morning. Now I gotta find the rest of it, I must say.

Watched it last night, it was the last film during the RH lineup. MUCH better than I thought it would be. Very smart, very funny, very sexy. A well above average drive-in flick (the target audience, to be sure). TCM ran the straight DVD, all nudity and language intact (they're doing this quite often lately, the last I saw with no cuts was Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid).

The sub-plot between Dickinson and Carson, with Hudson manipulating the marionette strings, was an absolute riot and perfectly played, and Dickinson and Hudson's 2nd office scene has to be seen to be believed!

I still remember the Playboy layout with some of the "pretty maids" featured nude back in the day. See Joanna Cameron in the rape-role reversal TV-movie "It Couldn't Happen To A Nicer Guy" with Paul Sorvino as the "victim" if you ever get a chance. The Seventies - what a decade!

I was flipping through the channels last night and I caught it, thinking it was the softcore porn flicks from the 60's/70's you catch late at night... I watched half way through when that Teacher dude is feeling up some chick in his office... Must say I found this movie erotic.

This movie was great but weird.

99% of the time a hero is someone who is too cold, tired & hungry to give a damn.

On in about 4 hours. Wasn't there some big deal about this movie when HBO ran it in the early 80s. Something about it was the first time a cable channel beat the networks in the ratings?

If y'all have Comcast, it's available free on demand under TCM in the free movie section. I think it runs until the end of this coming week.
