Girls, Join Us Tonight At 8PM, As "Svengoolie" Presents "The Car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


                                   This film was released in 1977, so I am not sure it was a TV movie or a theatrical release.  Its redeeming feature is James Brolin when he was really HOT, and way before he met You Know Who.  The supporting cast, a good one, seems to be made up of TV types, which makes me question the film's origin further--Ronny Cox, Kathleen Lloyd, The Richards Sister--Kim and Kyle, John Marley, John Rubinstein.  Speaking for myself, since eighth grade I have never trusted girls named Kyle, because there was one that year who was a little bitch, even if she was the dumbest thing in our class.  I wonder how she turned out.  Probably eating spuds out of ash cans.  I hope!!!!!!!!!!!



                                     Anyway, I digress.  Remember "Duel" in 1971?  And "Christine," in 1983?


                                    I think this film will not be much different from them.  Especially "Duel."  A car is running rampant through some Podunk town, killing people, and Brolin, as the sheriff, has to deal with this.  It sounds like Brolin here is standing in for Dennis Weaver, but, like I have said, he was HOT then, so he could make the film bearable.  But I really do not have high expectations for this.


                                     Still, I can't say switch to something else, as I have not given this a chance, having never seen it.  So, I will.  I hope The Sven Squad is on; this may be one film when they are needed.


                                       Meanwhile, darlings, I have wardrobe decisions to make.  So, we will see you at eight, for this journey down Memory Lane.


                                         To think this film is 49 years old.  The same year I graduated from college!!!!!!!!!!!
