If it's the same move I'm thinking of (no, I didn't see it), "Silver Streak"
was released in the winter of 1985-86.

During the first play I ever worked backstage on ("Anything Goes", fall of
1977), the captain of the ship gets handed a note.  The note was supposed to
be a blank piece of paper, but on the final night it read "Gabriel gives good
head."
