- Quotes
Jailer: [as he unlocks and opens Bernard's jail cell] Out you go.
Bernard Chanticleer: Why?
Jailer: You're out in custody. Your bail's been paid.
Bernard Chanticleer: [after a thoughtful pause] I've been in the custody of my parents for almost twenty years now. And they've taught me nothing but self-doubt, frustration, and perpetual guilt. I'm going to be in my own custody from now on. I won't go!
Jailer: A nice-lookin' girl paid it.
Bernard Chanticleer: I'll go!

I just emailed TCM to think about doing a 1968 retrospective,as they are doing for 1939. I'm not saying that the films of 1968 were more important that 1939,but'68 is the pivotal (post WWII)year for America. Movies,films,even TV was changing and in some ways we're still trying to figure out what happened. "Big Boy" was the coming of age movie that never got its due while hundreds of thousands of Babyboomers were indeed coming of age.
