I have a bootleg from the Australian VHS release which is fullframe (4:3) but is there any widescreen release of this movie on any DVD worldwide? I know it's still not available in the USA.
I used to watch these kind of things on late night TV as a kid in the 70s. No wonder I'm nuts. It goes beyond acid surely? It's as if the whole script-writing community went insane for a couple of years. Don't get me wrong, I'm very liberal but these things were almost mentally deranged. :-)
@loverofoldtimes hollywood was in its transition period moving toward psychedellic films. so she had no choice if she wanted to work. hollywood is always shifting between sanity and insanity.
@loverofoldtimes man, thats hollywood, you begin with bit parts in shit, then rise to have a stellar career, then people dont want to give you jobs so you end up doing psychedellic movies. Remember it was the studio system back then so you kind of went where people told you to go.
If you need any more evidence of the strange upheavals that Hollywood was going through in this period, look no farther than the once-classy Jennifer Jones appearing in this trashy nonsense. Looks like all the other misguided attempts to be "relevant" by confused producers who couldn't figure out how to attract those darn kids who just weren't responding to the formulas that used to work.
@hebneh lmfao Think this movie was shown on an early Saturday morning on TCM. If any of you all are familar with the late Friday night cult movie thing they use to do.
No doubt this was trash. But considering this film was made in the last days of the "swinging sixties", I guess even a classy actress like Jennifer Jones wanted in on a little bit of that action.
one of the weirdest movies ive ever seen, and it didnt make sense at all either, and Jennifer Jones!?!? a golden era classy actress in this trashy movie!?!? NO WAY! I was SHOCKED!
@niceguy045 nice guy, the name of the game in hollywood is to get in, make your money, grab a little fame and then get out. Those people who stick around (no matter how famous of classy) usually end up eventually making trashy films. Hollywood goes through phases wherte movies like "Legends of the fall" are made" but now , 15 years later, we have "STep UP in 3D". Those who get addicted to the fame and easy money usually end up selling their souls.
whats ironic is that jim morrison was makign fun of hollywood the entire time. On one side, Hollywood has all this power over peoples minds, On another side, Hollywood tries to destroy everything. Morrison though the whole concept of celebrity was rediculous,yet he revelled in it.
Jennifer Jones, Lou Rawls and Roddy McDowall -- how awant garde! Once in a while AMC will show these movies...the tamer ones..there's one with Elizabeth Montgomery called Johnny Dark it's wild!
'Tis true. Not one of Ms. Jones's finest moments. But even with the dreadful material, from what little I saw, she delivered her lines like a true pro - a real star!
Honestly...*whispers* I'm glad times like these (late 60s) are over!
If you want a copy of this film then google The Video Beat. It's the best of the best DVD store on the web! Heaps of rare, cult and groovy films. BTW I don't work for them, just order stuff from them :-). Rock on!
Edgy, Beautiful Oscar Winner Jennifer Jones as big a movie star as there was in the 40's and 50's stars in this AIP film. Jennifer one assumes wanted to try something different and had Roddy McDowell a close friend involved in this film, and had
