William J. White I don't know if you guys are familiar with CinemaTreasures.org, but I visit the site fairly regularly because I like to read about the old theaters that I used to go to when I was a kid. They sometimes run old newspaper ads for the movies that were showing at one of the theaters, the other day I found this newspaper ad: http://photos.cinematreasures.org/production/photos/43899/1336339034/large.jpg?1336339034 Look at the middle of the page. When I first saw that a couple of weeks back I thought to myself, 'Why have I never heard of this movie?' Then, oddly enough, here you go, and run an episode on the very same film...Mike White That is great! I love that tag line, too.
