    How is the 1980 single with the B-side "Grade B Movie" related to a 1955 movie that tells the story of Captain Tom Wilder?

    Question #94159. Asked by BRY2K. (Mar 31 08 5:27 AM)

    		I've no clue how all of this connects:

    Grade B Movie -- Avoid Freud Album -- by Rough Trade

    Side A High School Confidential side B Grade B Movie
    Movie: Large Hole

    Blood Alley tells the story of Captain Tom Wilder (Wayne) whom locals rescue from the Chinese Communists.

    		The connection I found is tenuous, but building on zbeckabee.

    The movie Blood Alley was directed by William A. Wellman.

    Wellman's son, William Wellman, Jr was one of the actors in the 1958 movie, High School Confidential (a grade B movie, if there ever was one).

    		What if I suggested that you focus on the A-side of the single and its lyrics?

    		Ah...Anita Ekbert...

    Teenage Brando's stop her in the halls,
    They tease her with cat calls.
    She's a combination
    Anita Ekbert, Mamie Van Jorne.
