I ended up with a copy of this movie, which was a bad vhs transfer to dvd, when my mother-in-law gave us a box of dvds she bought from garage sales back in 2005. I remember being surprised at the big names that were in it and yet I'd never heard of it. We really liked it, other than the quality of the video, it's a pretty good story, funny parts, and some genuine surprises in the plot. Flash forward to just recently when the flick came up in conversation because of reading an off-handed reference to it in an old article from the early 80's. So evidently, this movie wasn't even really marketed when it was in theaters because of an actor's strike going on at the time. Regardless, it is a shame this movie fell between the cracks of Hollywood history, because it is definitely deserves to be seen.
