He narrated-for $5-Iowa's loss to Minnesota, 21-6, before some 10,000 spectators who had paid $2 to $3 and got rained on. Gushed the critic of Reagan's play-by-play: "His crisp account...
...been receiving a hundred offers a day, says her manager Jay Bernstein. "She is as hot as any client I've ever had."

The lesson of this movie is that the fewer questions of this sort you ask, the better off you are. If Twentieth-Century Fox had hired Jacques Cousteau to make this film, it probably would have been fascinating. But why film something fascinating when you have a $20 million budget? And anyways, every other movie has spies and sex and actors, right? So, to answer the question of motive, the writers concocted a plot that wastes most...
