From: utzoo!decvax!harpo!floyd!cmcl2!philabs!sdcsvax!sdchema!pha Newsgroups: net.movies Title: ET remarks Article-I.D.: sdchema.137 Posted: Wed Sep 1 18:38:19 1982 Received: Sun Sep 5 03:24:19 1982 References: zeppo.298 I feel that people who call ET a "boy and his dog" story either haven't seen it or saw it but ws prejudiced from the start by someone else. I saw it and found it was more of a "victorian wife of a sailor" story (Elliot=wife;ET=sailor;wife meets sailor and is disgusted,learns to love sailor, others disapprove of love for sailor,sailor is drafted, must go to war, wife is brokenhearted).} Then again, that's only an opinion.
