(Let's move this discussion to net.movies.)  This is not actually
true.  HIGH ROAD TO CHINA got bad reviews but it had really had staying
power in some parts of the country.  It was released in March or so, as
I remember.  I think over a year later it was still playing in other
parts of the country.  I know I saw it on cassette and months later I
noticed it was still playing in North Carolina in October.  The
following summer someone I know saw it in Kansas.

I had some interest in how the film played because I and anyone I
actually know who saw it thought it was a pretty good film.  The
critics hung it, but it is quite enjoyable.
