When Tony Curtis' bombshell-filled farce CASANOVA & COMPANY opened in US theatres (like these Cincy venues in Nov '78), it was retitled SOME LIKE IT COOL. When Vestron released it on tape, laser, and CED, it was retitled SEX ON THE RUN.
Whatever you call it, see it @newbeverly.bsky.social 2/5 & 2/6!
