Bombs away

This turkey was made into a VHS cassette in Canada. Beware! There are no redeeming features in this movie. The box misrepresents it as a sexy, hilarious comedy, sort of like MASH. It isn't. The script is stupid, the acting is wooden, and the single "sexy" scene was inserted to attract viewers, which it shouldn't. Did Vincent Gardenia really need the money badly enough to make this bomb? Viewers who can stay awake will note that some of the dialogue is in Italian and has been dubbed. Whew!
