Haunted by the memory of his mother's abuse at the hand of the cruel leader of a Hispanic clan causes Tony (an immigrant of Brazilian origin) to seek revenge for his childhood nightmare. However, even with the help of a handful of loyal gunmen, he cannot match the strength of his enemies so he must find a way to undermine their might. Therefore, having regard to the mobsters' unwritten rule of honor not to involve their families in their disputes, he sets up a devious plan: posing as Hispano gangsters, they abduct and abuse the mistresses of the rival Italian and Irish mob leaders, thus inflaming their „Big-Daddies” to come into conflict with the real Hispanos. But finally, when his strategy comes to bear fruit, the outcome overwhelms his expectations.

The Pagan or Witch Elder is a leader who has lead by example, and teaches their wisdom to those that will listen, they have cleared the path for those to follow.

I write this book so that our Pagan community remembers and knows who these brave Spiritual Earth Warriors were and are, and what they have given, sacrificed, and shared for the future of our world.

Tashlinesque
Author: Ethan de Seife
Publisher: Wesleyan University Press
ISBN: 0819572411
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Frank Tashlin (1913–1972) was a supremely gifted satirist and visual stylist who made an indelible mark on 1950s Hollywood and American popular culture—first as a talented animator working on Looney Tunes cartoons, then as muse to film stars Jerry Lewis, Bob Hope, and Jayne Mansfield. Yet his name is not especially well known today. Long regarded as an anomaly or curiosity, Tashlin is finally given his due in this career-spanning survey. Tashlinesque considers the director's films in the contexts of Hollywood censorship, animation history, and the development of the genre of comedy in American film, with particular emphasis on the sex, satire, and visual flair that comprised Tashlin's distinctive artistic and comedic style. Through close readings and pointed analyses of Tashlin's large and fascinating body of work, Ethan de Seife offers fresh insights into such classic films as Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?, The Girl Can't Help It, Artists and Models, The Disorderly Orderly, and Son of Paleface, as well as numerous Warner Bros. cartoons starring Porky Pig, among others. This is an important rediscovery of a highly unusual and truly hilarious American artist. Includes a complete filmography.
