...respect for anything, not for Beethoven or for James Bond. Roger the tiger responds favorably only to the chorale from Beethoven's Ninth, so when Ringo is trapped with Roger, Lennon yells, "Ringo, sing famous Beethoven's famous Ninth Symphony." Bond's deadly Aston-Martin becomes a Mr. Whippy truck that leaves a trail of thumbtacks, and Alligator's camouflaged House of Parliament--a parody of a parody--becomes the Kaili's sacrificial temple, brought from the Orient to Bermuda...
With an eight-year jail term for jury-tampering hanging over him (plus a five-year term for a mail fraud and conspiracy conviction), Jimmy Hoffa has recently been as nervous as a truck driver at a tea party. In an effort to avoid the clink, he is using the charges of prostitution and prejudice in asking that a new trial be granted in the jury-tampering conviction-the third such request since Hoffa was convicted*-and that the judge disqualify himself from further involvement in the case...
...show, and today, at 29, he is considered Germany's most powerful postwar painter (see color), a natural link in and continuator of the great tradition of German expressionism.

...Oldsmobile Toronado, first U.S. model in 29 years with "front-wheel drive." A six-passenger sports coupe, it has an engine that feeds power directly to the front wheels. Because those wheels dig into a curve and pull the car along like a train or a trailer-truck, the Toronado corners as smoothly at 60 m.p.h. as many cars do at 35 m.p.h., does not need chains or snow tires. Test drivers who were assigned to overturn it found that almost impossible to do because the car is so low-slung (five inches off the ground at the rear...
...have a price of $50,000 on his head for a kidnap-killing he may or may not have committed. The police captain (Gilbert Roland), an embittered tough guy suffering from malaria as well as some of the corniest lines ever delivered in Death Valley, sets out in a truck with Von Sydow and three Mexican assistants to hunt down the fugitives (Efrem Zimbalist Jr. and Yvette Mimieux) and claim the reward...
