Emery George was explaining what one should do to survive hypothermia (something you get when its cold) if caught in a catastrophic situation.

Forman's direction is often moving, but it makes "Ragtime" look mostly like bad times. Sharky's Machine It's supposed to be a dramatic change of pace, but Burt Reynolds' latest is funnier than many of his comedies, and is a good candidate for Best Bad Movie of the year. He plays an Atlanta policeman whose rambunctiousness gets him transferred to the lowest circle of law enforcement, the vice squad. But he soon transforms the squad into a machine police slang for a departmental team and they're soon of the trail of a maniac (Henry Silva) who kills high-priced hookers and is somehow involved with a gubernatorial candidate (Earl Holliman).
