VM> Frankenheimer did not direct ST:TMP.  That was Robert Wise who also gave

VM> Stood Still".  Frankenheimer did films like "The Manchurian
VM> Candidate" and "Seven Days in May".  BTW, those are both
VM> fairly fast-paced movies.
JR> Oh gosh, I really blew it. Frankenheimer did that terrible bat movie in 
the

time
