- Quotes
Sailor: [Speaking of Richard's profession] Wow, a movie maker.
Patricia: Oh, well, careful. Richard makes films, not movies. There's a big difference.
Sailor: What difference is that?
Patricia: Well, as far as I can tell; movies, people want to see. Films, on the other hand, people need to be talked into seeing.
Sailor: Huh.
Patricia: Yup. And Richard makes films.

Featured review
Refreshing, great movie
I was channel checking and, having served in the U.S. Navy for 20+ years, wanted to see what it was about. Short and to the point: No FILTHY language, which some person or persons, wish I knew who, somewhere decided that having extreme profanity is ADULT language. It was so refreshing, the language, no nudity,no blood spilling, no sex scenes. A movie you would gladly watch with your kids or grandkids. The sequence regarding the fall from 5000 feet is an absolute treasure. The sailors age would have been, probably, in the 21 to 23 age range. Given the fact that he'd obviously been out of Turkey Track for quite some time, probably seen and heard a lot of things he'd never seen or heard of in Turkey Track, somehow managed to maintain a high degree of innocence, discipline and respect.
