    I love the making of it

    This was excellent and Robert Townsend autograph it . It was a present to myself for my 50 birthday. It shows a idea that became a film. It shows never give up on your dreams. Eddie King look so good . I love me some Eddie

    Dry as a bone

    Townsend reads a book with snapshots. Could have used outtakes etc. from the movie.
