[net.movies] Protocol missing scenes

dub@pur-phy.UUCP (Dwight) (01/13/85)

	Just got back from seeing the new Goldie Hawn movie Protocol.
I was surprised that some of the scenes used in the tv promotion ads
are not in the film.  Specifically, 
1) Sunny Davis (Goldie) is leading a camel across a stretch of desert saying
   "I've got a camel..."
2) Sunny is turning around in a limo containing foreign VIP's and
   is sticking her tush in someone's face.
	What happened to these scenes?  Why are they in the ad but
not in the movie?

I haven't seen the movie, however, I understand from someone who likes
Goldie Hawn that the movie is really terrible.  There's no good comedy
in it as there was in Private Benjeman, just stupidity.

Can anyone validate this claim?

I, too, asked the same questions!  Although I am still a Goldie Hawn fan
and found the movie to be enjoyable, the missing scenes from the TV
promotion make me feel like I "was had."

When Goldie showed up at the barbecue party dressed in casual clothes and
everyone else was wearing formal attire the scene ended.  I still wonder
what went on.

Yes, I saw @i(Protocol) and I enthusiastically recommend that you do NOT
see it.  I have a very high tolerance for sappy movies, and it exceeded
my tolerance by a good margin.  Some movies are not for diabetics; this
one is not for people.  I almost had to go for the barf bag when she 
started to read the Declaration of Independence to the Senate committee,
which was, of course, listening with awe and admiration.

Do not see this movie--let it be a flop.

I haven't seen the movie.  The impression I got from the commercial
was that she had been invited to a "Roast", which she interpreted
as a "Barbecue".
