    March/August romp
    A Tiger's Tale has C. Thomas Howell who is the owner with his father Charles Durning of a full grown tiger has been going out with Kelly Preston. One night Preston's mom Ann-Margret catches getting busy with Howell, she kind of likes what she sees. The two of them are kanoodling soon enough.

    This brat pack film I'm sure did well enough in the red states. Ann-Margret sure looks good enough for every young man's older woman fantasy. Howell is likeable if a bit of a lunkhead.

    Nothing great here, but enjoyable.
