Pledged to share his home...but not privileged to       claim his love! Until one day...one fateful day...along came a Tall, Dark       Stranger!"              And the soundtrack includes a song "Tall, Dark Stranger" - Music by Roy       Webb, Lyrics by Waldo Salt.       So I'd start with that.       --       John Dean       Oxford              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
