Dear James,
 
Taking selfish advantage of your offer!  I have to do programe notes on Un
Taxi Mauve (The Purple Taxi) directed by Yves Boisset, released in 1977 for
a film series.  I have been unable to come up with any reviews of this
film. Help would be appreciated.
 
Regards
Jeannette

>It's got everything (I swear) from 1927-1993. It's based on a twenty

>you've wondered what to use you CD-ROM for, this may be it :-)
>One disk works on MAC and PC and it takes up about 1meg of hard

>And since I'm such a nice guy and want to support this product,
>I'll post information on whatever obscure movie you'd like to
