...realistic sequence in the movie, he begins to reenact the story he told his writer, about a woman stealthily burning a pair of black gloves. The camera cuts to Kathleen, now stealthily burning Stahr's last letter to her. Her husband enters, and she kisses him; but when her tear-stained face glances up, it is Stahr she is looking at. Another cut later, he is staring back. Then he sighs and concludes, "I was just making movies...
...Darla would heave amorously at the dynamism of the idea, and Alfalfa would get the lead as chief crooner. (Buckwheat, of course had to build scenery and sell tickets.) Eventually the rich kids down the street, unmitigatedly evil and oversized in their velvet Fauntleroy suits would come around to tear down the stage and abduct Darla.

In the drifting snow, the racers bobbed and weaved, plunging from view only to emerge again and fly across a farmer's driveway or a roadside culvert. Occasionally they would tear onto the shoulder of the road, skimming around a car or truck before hurtling back into the ditch. Driving a 450-lb. snowmobile at high speed on rough terrain is like riding a brahma bull-an exercise in keen judgment and balance. As Driver Al Bergquist, an Illinois farmer...
