href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EyJ0JM6jcs">Many years ago</a>, I made a VHS recording of the film when it was featured as the WGN Saturday Afternoon Movie. Going in and out of commercials, WGN would show this image from the movie poster. I remember the TV Guide at the time listed the film as Action/Adventure.</p><div
