    Remember the scene in The Giant Gila Monster episode when the sheriff tells Chase that a man died in a car crash at the bottom of a small canyon, and it took police 19 days to find him?
    They were referring to Tom Pittman, the star of this movie. It was really how he died in real life.

      that’s so sad because it’s true, but also pretty wild because people at the time would have understood that reference. Tom was a promising actor in the late 50’s so it would have been fairly big news.

      Set society up so that we have nowhere to turn when things aren't perfect, then blame the victims of our lacks when they try to break out of things the only way available? ♪ It's The American Waaaaaayyyyy... ♪ This reminds me of when the Sandinistas kicked the murderous Somoza régime out of Nicaragua. The Somozas had been keeping human rights concerns repressed at the behest of the Americans for decades. So what did the Americans do?
      They attacked Nicaragua incessantly _and_ cancelled all arms sales to the nation. This forced the Sandinistas to purchase arms from the only other source willing to sell them any - - the USSR. Then the Americans used the excuse that they were purchasing arms from the USSR to justify their preemptive strikes against Nicaragua.
      Heyyyy.... they did the same thing more than once, didn't they?

      This one isn't half bad, is it? The other movie that I actually liked was I Accuse My Parents. Found myself really pulling for the main character.

      Fortunately, I finally found out how "small" Tom Pittman was (from the trailer). Thanks to that "teacher" whose height was 1.83, I figured that Jerry Lee Alten was around 1.73 m, which is just under average male height (1.768 m).

    It's a shame what happened to the star of this movie, Tom Pittman. He was killed in a car crash at age 26. If he had lived longer, maybe he would have been able to redeem himself with a decent acting career. We'll never know.

    Depressing Dad is one of my favorite characters in any MST subject. Just a fountain of riffing material. And it's great how delighted they are when the same actor (Malcom Atterbury, a very prolific character actor in his day) shows up again in "I Was a Teenage Werewolf", basically playing the same character.
