    		THE NAME EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL was taken from a shop (a slogan of what a young gentleman could buy there for the house) in Hull, East Yorkshire, UK, where Ben and Tracey lived during the early 80's. The shop, which stood on the Beverley Road, sold brand new but dated household furniture to newly married couples.

    Western movie question: Movie likely from the 70s, has the climax where a man/boy is racing through the desert to beat a shadow across a certain line to save a girl captured by Indians.
