Montoro said When Women Had Tails" also may open here, possibh in April. This film is compared to "One Million Years B.C." in that both are in the comedy vein. A sequel will be "When Women Lost Their Tails." Other a new movies in the FVI hopper are "Father Jackleg." with Jack Palance, and "Go for Broke." with John Ireland. These two features, also in the comedy category, were filmed in Italy. In mentioning still another movie.
