Remembering “Prancer” Director, Star Look Back on Christmas Classic Amid Its 25th Anniversary by Andrew Tallackson “Usually, when you see your movies again, you see the mistakes, but not this time,” Hancock said, relaxing in his Galena Township home. “When you see it with a live au- dience, none of that matters. This was maybe one of the best screenings I’ve had.” Sam Elliott stands in front of the Old Republic House in New Carlisle during production on John Hancock’s “Prancer.” hen people meet John Hancock, one of the fi rst things he hears is that “Prancer” is one of their favorite movies. They’ve grown up with it. They watch it every Christmas. Its story of courage, de- termination and hope has lost none of its power. WUpon hearing this, the director is fl attered. Until earlier this month, though, he’d not seen the movie on the big screen, and with a full audience, since it was released 25 years ago.

The first job I ever had, the summer I was fifteen, was checking feet at a public pool in Cleveland. I was a “key girl”—“Key personnel” was the job title on my pay stub (I made seventy-five dollars a week). I never knew what that was supposed to mean. I was not in charge of any keys, and my position was by no means crucial to the operation of the pool, although I did clean the bathrooms.

  • SCARWAF/Foreman
    SCARWAF/Foreman SCARWAF In Every War, There Seems To Be At Least One Really Oddball, Bastard, Off-the-wall Unit. During The Korean Conflict, It Was An Outfit Called SCARWAF. Jim Foreman Copyright © 1988 SCARWAF/Foreman SCARWAF is a bizarre, tongue-in-cheek history of the 1903rd Engineer Aviation Battalion, SCARWAF; as being told some thirty-five years after the fact to a grandson, who had asked, "What did you do in the war, Grandpa?" SCARWAF is an acronym which means "Special Category Army Reassigned With the Air Force", or in plain language, a bastard, oddball unit made up of misfits. It is a story about Billy Bob Boomer, a professional rodeo cowboy; Jack "Red" Ryder, a rattlesnake hunter; Lester Price, who repaired traffic signals; Bobby Ward, a dogwood salesman; artist, Arthur Arthur Arthur and Obert Filpot, the most repulsive person in Texas. After being drafted, they were thrown together because the army, having no standard classification for their unusual civilian occupations, dumped them into a catch-all heading of Special Category. Knowing of no other use for such people, they were shipped off to an unknown unit which happened to also be designated as Special Category. Under the leadership of a National Guard unit from Chicago, which was made up for the most part by members of a street gang known as the Roaches, they finally realized that if they expected to survive should they find themselves in combat, they had better take charge of their own training. This story takes its protagonists from one fiasco to another as they stumble from the insanity of induction, through basic training and finally to Korea where they had to beg, borrow or steal nearly everything that they needed in order to accomplish their mission of building airstrips.
