    This is sort of like the movie game with an important difference -- I don't know the answer to the question I will pose! I saw a movie once when I was quite young -- a black fellow and a white fellow escape from prison together -- they are chained together and so despite the fact they hate each other based on their racial backgrounds, they must work together. Of course, they develop a bond and once the chain is cut, at some point, the one fellow risks his life to go back and safe the other guy. When the other guy says "why did you come back for me?" the first guy says "you were pulling on the chain."

    This is a movie that has been copied -- IIRC there was one called "Fled" in the 1990s, or maybe it was "Bulletproof", I don't know. This one is a classic, I believe, from the 70s or even the 60s. If anyone knows this movie please let me know.

    The Defiant Ones -- 1958.

    Won two academy awards (Best Screenplay and Cinematrography) -- a great movie with an outstanding cast. The two prisoners are played by Tony Curtis and Sydney Poitier, both were nominated for Best Actor Awards for their performances in this movie. This was the first time a black man had been nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role -- he became the first black man to win the award five years later.

    You're welcome -- but with how well I know all these old movies I think "couch potato" is probably closer....

    Ah, but it's what you're doing on the couch that's important, not so?
