But we don't need viewing advice from the Brain Police, thank you.

If I weren't working, I'd watch a whole lotta French movies, as a gesture of gratitude to le marquis du Lafayette.

Enjoy!

The L.A. Metromedia AOR station had a "Losers Day" one Fourth (1974 or '75) & played nothing but Limey music all day &tc.
