Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

A ‘garden path sentence’ is a grammatically correct sentence that tricks the reader into misinterpreting it. The old man the boat. (The boat is manned by the elderly.) The prime number the few. (People who are exceptional are few in number.)
