(Meyer's other directorial effort was Time After Time, another good flick ... yes, he has no dogs in his limited oeuvre ... but I think 3 out of 3 is a far better record than 3 out of 6.)
BTW, Nick Meyer is a very witty, intelligent and downright funny guy - as well as an obviously talented director and writer. I had no idea, till the other night, that he had written much of Star Trek 4 ... which was a time travel movie set in San Francisco ... enabling him to include a bunch of unused stuff from his earlier Time After Time, a time travel movie set in San Francisco. Heheh.
