If modern feminist remained silent I would be very pleased.

I just went to amazon audible to check it out. The Greyhound version is cheaper on audio. They have different narrators. The Good Shepherd is cheaper on Kindle and in used paperbacks. No Hardcover available for Greyhound.

Appreciate the review as I’d not heard of this picture.

Separately: the Airplane! scene with Robert Stack beating up a host of airport solicitors including Hare Krishnas makes me laugh just thinking about it :)

Very funny scenes in the movie “Stretch.” I believe it is an unrecognized classic along the lines of “True Romance.”

# When Dire Straits decided that censoring their Song Money For Nothing by eliminating an entire Verse was the thing to do , nothing surprises me anymore. So much for Artistic integrity.

LOL. I hadn’t heard about that but am not surprised at all.

The little faggot with the earring and the makeup,
Yeah buddy, that’s his own hair!
The little faggot got his own jet airplane!
The little faggot, he’s a millionaire!

Another short lived Robert Stack show was Mosr Wanted.

An early episode has him impersonating an airline pilot. I couldn’t help but think of Airplane.

Good series.

Maybe it inspired Strike Force that came out later, also with Robert Stack.

Isn’t that the truth. The copy of the disc I have has some interviews with Mel Brooks and others, and it highlights that everyone understood what they were doing.
