The pitch always ended with "Crazy Eddie, his prices are IN-SA-A-A-A-A-A-ANE!" The chain grew to 43 stores in 4 states. It closed in 1989 after charges of fraud and security violations.
b.		Filming began November 28 1939, the fourth of the 6-film series, which Boris Karloff quickly followed with "Black Friday."

I fought one war for him in prison camp. He survives because of me....The Japanese in Three Came Home are as war made them, not as God did, and the same is true of the rest of us."
