BOURNE TO RUN, AND RUN, AND RUN By Mark Steyn

I’m always impressed by the indestructibility of clichés. For example, I love that moment in the first Naked Gun picture when Leslie Nielsen and Priscilla Presley are together in front of a roaring fire, and Miss Presley stands up, reaches behind, and her dress, as they do in the movies, falls from her shoulders in one perfect shimmering drop. And then the great Nielsen stands up and reaches behind, and in an equally perfect instant his suit, shirt and tie all drop from his shoulders. I can’t believe any director of a celluloid sex scene could do the frock drop for real after that, yet they do, all the time, in a thousand and one cheesy TV dramas.
