This photo is a couple years after his appearance in “The Anderson Tapes” (1971), an action film starring Sean Connery and several others. In the following years, he made several more films, including “Annie Hall.”’ He achieved great notoriety in “The Deer Hunter,” co-starring with Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep. He won the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for the 1978 film.

Hang in there, my friend. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to your old man. They’re not always perfect, but they always seem to do their best.

Yeah -- a real man sets traps for unsuspecting animals so he can snare them and shoot or club them to death because "he be a man."

It appears that maybe these guys were copying the videos they licensed onto whatever medium the customer requested and shipped direct. Sony wouldn’t have any leverage over them as they didn’t go through any of their authorized distributors.

For perspective, $99 a video in 1976 would be the equivalent of over $500 today.
