Mon, 31 May 1999 13:13:23 -0700 The Moving Target (movie-Harper) was about a religious cult. Had this big guru
palace up in the hills. The guru was a phoney. Think he was extorting money
from Harper's client-the old crippled dame. Lauren Bacall played the dame. Paul
Newman, of course, played Harper.
