...Little Lord Fauntleroy. Not to be outdone, a Krueger aide recently sent an article to newspaper editors all over the state which insinuates that Tower is a womanizer who likes his whiskey.

Producer Matty Simmons, chairman of the company that publishes the raucous monthly National Lam poon, expects revenues to top $80 million by year's end, not counting foreign distribution. That would place the film-among the top 15 movie earners of all time...
