Yes indeed she does, Tom. Very observant of you. The censorious editor could 
most definitely be judged a Tuklu of Carry Nation. Several other qualities also 
appear to be in common in addition to the prominent sagging jowls on a sallow 
face completely devoid of humor and warmhearted compassion. 

 Namely:

-failed in the theatre.
-missionary zeal for highly questionable goals.
-"Defender of the Faith" (boy, Skolnick sure hit a bulls-eye on that one)
-considered herself of the highest moral character and considered anyone who 
disagrees with her as morally defective and really really stoooopid.
-was considered even by most of her supporters as mentally unstable and, 
purportedly, at least 50% of her closest supporters considered her quite 
insane. 

Could it be the we, the fair readers of FFL have discovered a true American 
Tuklu?

I believe you are incorrect on the start date of the film, Tom. Did you miss 
episode one?
