Dotty,
I haven't heard of it but I did hear about a young boy (12 I think)
who stole a coupe, went for a
joyride and landed it safely. I wonder if this movie was about him.
If you can find the name of the movie, I have a book that lists all
movies and whether on not they
were made into a video, so let me know if anyone comes up with the name of
it for you. I'd like a copy
of it too.
