Talk about buried treasures. This film, shot in 1980 when Cindy Williams was still a TV star on Laverne and Shirley, didn't actually reach theaters until 1985. Even then, it was barely released and remains a film more talked-about than seen. But it's a tidy little comic treat, starring Williams as a seeker in a small town who believes that she is destined to be taken away by a flying saucer. Which makes her seemingly easy pickings for a pair of dueling evangelists (including the ever-reliable Harry Dean Stanton)--but she's more intuitive than she seems, even to her long-suffering boyfriend, played with wonderfully gruff spirit by Fred Ward. This is one of those movies filled with unexpectedly funny moments while never quite going where you think it will. --Marshall Fine
