Having been requested to make a few remarks about my movie ''Beyond The Law'' (alias ''Bust 80'') (alias ''Gibraltar'', ''Burke and Pope'') (alias ''Copping the Whip'') alias, alias — nothing more curious to find than a title for a movie. I would prefer instead to talk about what the film is not, or not yet. It is dangerous to talk about what a movie is, or give a synopsis of its plot because that tends to circumscribe an audience’s reactions and so would spoil the sense of anticipation at a premiere. I would therefore rather mention a few flaws, lacks, and omissions in the work. | Having been requested to make a few remarks about my movie ''Beyond The Law'' (alias ''Bust 80'') (alias ''Gibraltar'', ''Burke and Pope'') (alias ''Copping the Whip'') alias, alias — nothing more curious to find than a title for a movie.
