Ratings and reviews

"Close" only counts in "hand grenades and horse shoes," and great actor Wm. Holden deserved better than playing this "Chad" loser, bum!

Why i love to watch movies before my time instead of what is spit out most times today

Effect a muscle-flexing young man can have on a young girl. Excellent.
