Everyone must've been on drugs in the 70's to watch stuff like this. I think the main problem with this movie, besides the bad acting, directing and storyline, is the title of the film. I think the marketing department came up with the title after the film was made, and came up with a tagline to explain the title. Gotta get people into the drive-in some how. The problem with the title is it has nothing to do with the film until the second half of the movie. The title is only a subplot of the movie. You spend a lot of time wondering am I watching the wrong movie. This movie is bad. Not super bad. Unfortunately not so bad, that it's great. Just bad. Not believable at all. It apparently got Oscar nominated for best original song. And that fact makes this movie even more weirder. Why does a movie like this have a song like that. The song deserved better.
