...Fritz Seachrist...
...general, the rest of the cast flounder uncomfortably in their roles, unable to do much with such a bad script.

The star was spotted on the street by several Rhinelander residents almost immediately, and they reported it to this newspaper, which gained an exclusive interview. The who-what-when-where continued: Whitmore had been on a fishing trip with his wife and two teenage sons...
