Cadillac takes pride in living up to its advertising slogan-"A Tradition of Excellence." Rarely has the company been forced to publicly admit product goofs by issuing hefty recall orders. But recently the General Motors division has been in the news twice, and both times the headlines involved defects...

Lumbering home one night, Joan (Lee Guilliatt) meets a miniskirted doll (Essie Borden) who is-what else? -the Virgin Mary enjoying a one-day pass from Camp Paradise. The encounter makes a revolutionary of Joan, who goes to her preordained...
