There is also some potential for suspense in a computer whiz, played by Paul Mazursky, who is better known as a director (An Unmarried Woman). The genius' wife is deserting him, he is a hypochondriac and chicken to boot.

Back in 1925, when she founded her business, she cut and stitched the boots herself and peddled them all over Texas from her Model A Ford.
