This is the sort of film that drives studio ad men to the limits of their exasperation. They know that, worldwide, a certain percentage of people are, if nothing else, easily susceptible to hypnotic suggestion. Anyway, that’s what demographics tell them.

All you can do is write those magic words, YOU WILL BELIEVE, and watch the suckers shamble in.
