I remember being so angry when I was a kid because my brothers went over to our uncle's house and saw Them Thar Hills without me. Then they regaled me with descriptions of how funny it was. It took me years (pre-internet) to finally see it and it did not disappoint. Loved your review, it brought back lots of memories.Fritzi Kramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866805242123627398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-45558871476688605862015-05-04T15:49:41.448-07:002015-05-04T15:49:41.448-07:00Lovely take on two of my comedy heroes.
