- Well I watched this film 'real time' in 1958 or 1959 in San Antonio,
- what I remember most that years later I found out that its wasnt
- that ED WOOD didn't notice the goofs it was that when they were
- pointed out to him (even at that time!) that he said
- "Well, the audience will never notice!"
- I think Ed Wood was not what you would call a deep thinker!
