  9. So odd to see Mrs. Anderson as an evil femme fatale! She played it well. Liked seeing a truly honest cop who would turn in his own big brother on principle because it was right. If you know any old movies with politicians like that let me know. ;)

    1. lol, yes, she could act good and evil both, couldn't she. Ah, sometimes you hafta have the good politicians to set up against the corruption, especially in those old movies. I can't think of examples right now, of course...
