The latest Newsweek says that The Right Stuff (and other Ladd flicks)
are not doing well at the box office.  I was very disappointed to
read this, as I think it's one of the most exciting, humorous,
and well-done (INCLUDING the SFX) films in a long time.  My wife
& son seem to feel this way too, and they're very different from me.
Newsweek speculated that people shy away because they expect
a historical documentary, not an action picture.  Well phooey on them,
since some of my favorite movies and TV shows have been documentaries.
Oh well... another "buried treasure" for the future?  mike k
