The Phone Company is behind it all!
"Even the bedouins hate the phone company."

More relevant now than ever.

Check it out:

1. That is one way ahead of its time movie, in in many ways.
Very much worth seeking out.

2. Creepiest part
Edited on Wed May-17-06 10:00 AM by ewagner
was the "Spokesperson" for the phone company who was Pat ?????...the friendliest, most non-threatening individual on TV at that time (Didn't he play on the Danny Thomas Show, Make Room for Daddy?...married Danny Thomas' daughter, Erin Gray, in the series?)

but I digress......

the soft-spoken, likeable, non-threatening spokesperson is sooooooo much like the telecom ads today that it freaks me out.....

btw: it wasn't one of James Cobern's best movies.....I liked him in Waterhole #3 much better.
