   With the caveat that it's been a while since I've seen "Catalina Caper"   
   -- I don't remember there being "Little Richard on drugs" comments   
   occurring literally throughout the movie, just perhaps a couple of   
   "hopped up on goofballs" comments while he's actually on screen.   
      
   The Little Richard-related riffs I do remember vividly are "ladies and   
   gentlemen, the only genuine talent in this film" and the in-character   
   "That was great. Now leave -- out the back."
