Although have to admit a certain brief goofy fondness for "Looker" when
it came out (Michael Crichton hitting the writer-directorial skids
between jobs, coming off of aforementioned "Coma" and "Great Train
Robbery", and long before "Jurassic Park"), just on a hideously 70's
sci-fi-TV level, but it's no "Runaway"--
And whatever happened to Albert Finney's mainstream career after
"Annie", anyway?
(Unfortunately, to vote, you have to click Amazon's "E-mail me when
announced" button, and, well, wouldn't go *that* far...)
