    1. This would also have made an excellent SCTV sketch so I think between that, Oh God The Horse Is Talking, and Ken Russell’s 2001: A Space Odyssey I think I have my pitch reel for next time I’m in … Edmonton? I guess … in 1979.

    1. Yeah, I’m hoping to delight people with that weird discovery. Now and then TCM runs a couple.

      Also I know there’s this movie series from the 30s about some English valet-type and in one of them he goes Out West and I can’t think of the title because I keep wanting to think it’s Dodsworth, and I know that’s wrong, but it’s a name that has a Dodsworth vibe.
