Attention all latte-sipping elites! Brian Turner has unearthed some clips from one of the greatest films ever made; Ron Ormand’s propagan-tastic 1971 flick If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do? I would fill you in on the film’s history, but these guys have already done a good job of it. If you haven’t seen it, I can’t recommend it enough – as it’s relevance and humor springs eternal, in all the right places. It’s not officially available on DVD, but bootleg copies can be found. By all means go look at the four clips of the film Brian has put up on WFMU’s blog (note: a commentator on Brian’s post has discovered the entire 52 minute film on GoogleVideo: here) – you’ll be hooked. Here is the film’s imdb.com listing. Here is some more info on director Ron Ormond. *sigh* …I remember when I was a small child, I used to sit in church for hours and hours every week and praaaaaay that a group of heros just like this would come and rescue me forever.
Watch the entire film here.
This film is based on the teachings of famous Baptist pastor Estus Washington Pirkle. (real name). For more films based on Rikle’s teachings, see “The Burning Hell”

That pastor Estus Pirkle bears an uncanny resemblance to Anderson Cooper.
