5.0 out of 5 stars Another hilarious romp by Donald Davis, July 19, 2000

By A Customer

What fun! The setting for the title story is--you guessed it--a big screen drive in theater from the '60s, where Donald and his friends worked while in high school. I was laughing out loud as I listened, and my husband had to come check on me. After I got him to listen, he was laughing out loud, too! "Dr. Franklin," the story on the flip side, is a little more serious, but still funny in places. Highly recommended!
