    Yes, we had SunCoast and Tower in Charlotte which I frequented, but I actually preferred Media Play. It was closer to my house, and it was a one-stop shop for DVDs, laserdiscs, VHS, books, and magazines, all of which were my passions. Alas, all of them are gone now.

    I watched this tonight for the first time in many years. I thought I had upgraded to a Blu-ray, but all I could find was the DVD, so I watched that. What a fun return to the 1970s with the hair, clothes, and temperament. Not being such a slick studio film certainly gives it character.

    Yeah, I'll never forget Sammy Davis, Jr. at the Oscars jumping up and down when Hayes' Best Song win was announced. As they greeted each other on the stage, he exclaimed, "I told you! I told you!" Hayes' score for the film was also nominated but lost to Summer of '42.
