  1. I'm trying to watch What's the Matter With Helen (1971) - all I can see is singing and dancing. I'm not being psychologically thrilled. It's kinda like the tv mystery movies of the time - Columbo; McMillan & Wife; etc.

     

    The color is great.. beautiful to look at. The only odd thing I noticed was the tinge of color in the opening newsreels. Were any of those Hearst Metrotone newsreels from the 1930s in color?

    To be fair, I stuck with this one all the way to the end, which I actually liked - the last 20 minutes or so. Once all of the scenes showcasing Ms. Reynolds' dancing skills were out of the way, I was able to see a movie there.. and the thriller part of it's description began to bloom. Ms. Winters was very attractive, as was Ms. Reynolds.

  2. A director's 1960s blockbuster was a setback. When budget estimates reached $14 million, the producers attempted to replace this director with another whose name was similar but longer, and abandoned the idea after hundreds of locals in the cast went on strike, declaring: "We can and will perform only for our friend, Monsieur [name]".
