Eugene David
...The One-Minute Pundit

Richard Fleischer, a descendant of a famous animation family who went on to direct many mediocrities some would now call "classics", has died. That we might now call them "classics" not only indicates how far the bar has fallen, you couldn't even limbo-rock under it.

Leonard "The Multi-Millionaire Blurbist" Maltin says he directed "one of the best B pictures ever made," which we'll take as definitive on his count -- and ours.

P. S. We regret having had nothing to say about Buck Owens, a great country star, but that owes entirely to our ignorance.
