A really great issue. The first movie-themed edition to feature a variety of artistically rendered satires, and not just pages of captioned photos. It includes early and lesser-seen parodies of movies like "The Poseidon Adventure", "Kansas City Bomber" and "Ryan's Daughter". Recommended!

We don't know what the cover has to do with movies and why it was chosen for this edition, but the cover date would be estimated to be around April 1976, despite the 1975 indicia date. Sometimes the years listed in the indicia were not changed until very far into the next year.
