Playing Pudding

[Thomas Vieth]

Now, for a while I monitored this and was wondering why such a thing as casting 
Pudding would be necessary. After all, there already is a GR movie in 
existence.I think it's from 79, but I'm not sure. Personally, I have not seen 
the movie and would definitely be interested in whether they did a good job 
which I can hardly imagine. Any comments?
