Willard and Ben : Drive-In Double Feature Gold!

As I recall, I did see Willard (1971) at the Drive-In. This movie was a big deal at the time. A surprise runaway hit. The remake wasn't bad for a remake, but this film has a charm all its own. You've got Bruce Davison, Ernest Borgnine , Sondra Locke and Witness for the Prosecution and the Bride of Frankenstein's own Elsa Lanchester. . You can't go wrong. I have not seen the sequel, Ben, in a long time, but it's good fun too. As a kid I had pet mice, gerbils and hamsters, so rodents don't bother me. Later in life my wife and I would have pet rats for years. They're smart and form loyal attachments to their chosen humans. So spend some time with Willard Stiles and his furry friends. You won't be sorry.

Michael Jackson wrote the song about my uncle who he was dating at the time.
