CGiii Comment
What a strange movie - made in the 70s and it shows - with non-political correctness in full-steam.
The scenes with the gay character, Jack Cassidy, whose dog is named 'faggot' is rather alarming. A joke that misfired, back-fired...exploded.
This movie is pretty tough on homosexuality.
Not a pleasant way to spend time.
