   Crying Uncle over "Cry Uncle"

   Has anyone else experienced the following via Xfinity OnDemand? I wanted to   
   watch "Cry Uncle" (1971) with Allen Garfield (b. Goorwitz), only to find a   
   different film plays in its place? LOL! The thumbnail and accompanying credits   
   clearly show Cry Uncle.    
   I contacted Fawesome TV, and still no response. Who's to blame? Xfinity or   
   Fawesome? -D, Founding Jewish Fathers of Hollywood: Carl Laemmle was born in a   
   small village in Germany, fled from the poverty of his background to come to   
   America, and founded    
   Universal Pictures. Adolph Zucker was born in Hungary, became orphaned as a   
   small child, came to America lonely, and unloved, and built Paramount   
   Pictures. William Fox, also born in Hungary, came to the States as a poor   
   immigrant selling soda and    
   sandwiches and working as a chimney sweeper until he one day founded the Fox   
   Film Corporation. Louis B. Mayer was born in Russia, fled his father's   
   junkyard business, and eventually headed up the greatest studio of all,   
   Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Benjamin    
   Warner came from Poland to seek fortune in America. Here he worked as a   
   cobbler in Baltimore, peddled notions from a wagon, and tried to eke out a   
   living so that he could feed his four sons, Harry, Sam, Albert, and Jack. Then   
   he bought a broken movie    
   projector and one thing led to another, until incredibly enough, Warner   
   Brothers was born.
