A great flick!

At one time he owned a palatial home in Palm Springs Ca. , overlooking Palm Canyon. It was on a hill at the Southern edge of Palm Springs,a few doors from the Bob Hope home.

I worked at an AC company that did monthly service on his house but I only saw him there once. A little French beauty opened the door and I believe she was his wife.

He had several vintage motorcycles and cars in his garage. He would sometimes ride one of the bikes down the hill, across the desert, and park at the back of Sib’s bar and grille and come in and have a few beers.

He seemed like a nice quiet guy, joking and trading insults with the owner of the bar over the price of beer etc.
