My eagle-eyed husband noticed that at the end of the movie there was a
title for Showtime Productions. Apparently it was never released.
Still, there ought to be videos available, don't you think? We get
Showtime 2 on DSS, and I don't know how common it is on cable systems.

He directed it according to the web page I found. It was his
directorial debut, and the movie debuted at the Sundance Film Festival.

I thought it was dulling spray, but the paint did look weathered. The
car was meant to be a little rough in the film, and it sounds like that
local car fit the role.
Can I now claim that I'm very close to a relative of a film star?
