One long term result is that movie contracts now include a clause that explicitly specifies how many movies are being made. In 'honor' of the producers who first tried this, this is known as "the Salkind Clause". > I like this version better than the Gene Kelley version even if his > acrobatics were fun to watch. The Kelley is my favorite, but the York version is certainly not bad. Avoid at all costs "The Fifth Musketeer". Dullest fight scenes ever.

I was in high school at the time, and you've never known popularity, till your dad kills Elvis." -- Ty Templeton
