"Mrs. Carlisle" wound up being kidnapped and buried alive by a pathetic employee, along with the guy's sister and brother-in-law. She was rescued alive after a frantic search. The movie was made about a year after Weinstein was rescued. I wonder if there was any connection.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/25/tuxedo_king_and.php#comment-1107716 http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/25/tuxedo_king_and.php#comment-1107716 Comments Fri, 25 May 2007 17:18:14 -0500 <p>We still remember that story - and listening to the news radio reporter interviewing him shortly after he was found. Even after that ordeal, he came across as a strong person whose spirits could not be broken. Wonder if his attackers now realize what they have done and feel any remorse?</p>
