Listening to Gunnar and the Jim is interesting but the guy that plays
Grandpa is actually kind of sad to watch. Good luck finding it if
Blockbuster put it in their used video bin, it's pretty rare and sells for
$50 or more.

Gunnar and Jim are the highlights of the tape. Gunnar, in particular, is a
great storyteller and some of the 'behind the scenes' tales he has are
fascinating. There's also quite a bit of wasted tape on this video too, so keep
the remote handy and one finger on the FF button.

It's a little rough around the edges production value wise - it was done on a
shoestring budget, but if you're a hardcore TCM fan (in particular fan/aspiring
filmmaker) it is ESSENTIAL viewing. Good fun! Check it out!

I don't even like the movie and i still found this fascinating. The
making of the movie was _almost_ as bizarre as the movie itself. If it
fails to to show up at the Blockbuster a number of rent-by-mail places
carry it.

Yes, it's very cool.

If you'd like more information on TCM than what the video had, visit my web
page about the making of the film and were it was filmed at

Thanx!
