    87 What’s So Good About Feeling Bad? (1968) Thelma Ritter
    Looks eerily similar to
    83 What’s So Bad About Feeling Good? (1968) George Peppard
    which by the way also starred Thelma Ritter as Mrs. Schwartz

    Quite funny.

      Hey Sidney. Thanks for the heads up. I fixed the issue and created a trailer page for The Secret War Of Harry Frigg. Mainly because I barely remember the movie.
