Frank can run but he can't hide

Actually it don't seem he can run either. Or drive very fast. Or even make out with Rachel Welch. Sad. "Lady in Cement". Then on to "House of Exorcism". They couldn't sell this as "Lisa and the Devil" and when "The Exorcist" hit it big they had the brilliant idea to throw in a priest and some more Elke Sommer and cash in. Explains the total senseless quality of it. And the frog barfing. Finally, "UFO". New to me but, then, my fanboy quotient is, apparently, meager. A pleasant Brit scifi confection circa '70. And speaking of confections we could use a bit of candy on this here blog. Maybe get us on the map (location undisclosed, of course). To that end I present the lovely Ms. Gabrielle Drake as Lt. Gay Ellis:

Ring-a-ding indeedy! "Lady in Cement " features the best/worst car chase I've ever seen! Hard to believe this came from the era of "Bullet". But then Sinatra's no Mcqueen. As for "House of Exorcism" getting to hear Elke Sommer's inadvertantly uncensored swears from long ago late night broadcast tv (she said the "C" word for the love of God!) made it all almost worthwhile. And Kojak? Baby WE luv yah! Sucker and all! Too,too tripped out.

Purple Tomorrow Hair!

That, the thigh baring one-piece and the detachable shiny sleeves are all emblems of the future as it was supposed to be.

Man, reality in the Year 2008 is a pale imitation. Where's the babe-populated moonbase? Where's my #$%@ flying car?
