At a friend's house, watching low channel cable, a 1980 movie titled "Wholly Moses".
I'm thinking the star, Dudley Moore, must have been coming off "10" and was expected to carry the movie.
The female star and extras are Saturday Night Live regulars, probably testing movie potential.
Producers probably thought using California back yards, er, landscapes, with middle east mountains dubbed in, would look good.
However, their time spent in Sodom got, uh, a little humourous. Everyone likes a fallen angel.
