Question

Have any of you seen the film Born to Win by director Ivan Passer? It played last night at the Film Forum as part of their NYC Noir series. Don't worry, it was just a kinda boring junkie romp through 70s-style Time Square.

I came away from a screening of that film with one question and one question only: What the fuck was that thing on George Segal's weiner? As B put it, an "unnaturally bound" genital region marred Segal's full frontal nude scene and I need to know if it was cloth, some sort of nut-bra or a hastily concocted hideaway made from an infant's athletic cup and a few rubber bands. It looked like a very wobbly person of small stature taped his dick to his nuts.

Even with exhaustive googling ("george segal penis,""born to lose nude segal,"etc) we could find nothing. No pictures and only a few mentions of the scene in question- nothing about the strange and obvious dong catcher. Now it's almost as if we didn't see it at all...

Any information, screenshots or analyses would be greatly appreciated.

OMG...you know that is all the information I require to become officially obsessed with this topic, too, and that I am now on a mission to locate and view this film, pronto. I've been home sick for three days and could use a, ahem, project, like this. I will keep you abreast of developments, should I uncover any pertinent info to assist you in answering your questions.

Ah, my efforts have been foiled by it not being available to rent, anywhere in Toronto...rats!
