DJBeacon--"Prophecy" (1979) was the botched opportunity. Name the other two films, their year of release, and two stars.

Thank you, DJ and Lawrence--Y'all have given me an idea.
This award winning musical about cannibalism (and other things) was first filmed in the 20th century, when a stage performance was filmed. It was filmed again in this Century. Please name the show/movie, the dates of filming, and the two stars of each filming.

LEAST & MOST FAVORITE of the week...
in General Discussions
Posted
I saw six movies the last two weeks, all on archivedotorg (ado); ado got rid of some films this past week, so the first two films I have listed may not be on there. With that said:
"Arrowhead" (1953)--Ok Western elevated by a good cast (Anthony Quinn, Katy Jurado, Charlton Heston, and Brian Keith) and an ok script, hurt by historical inaccuracies, (Apaches didn't wear war-bonnets, etc.--nothing as obvious as wristwatches on the Indians). Listen to the dialogue between Heston and Jurado (playing Heston's "laundress"). Entertaining western.
"Dr. Cyclops" (1940)--Universal programmer given the deluxe Technicolor treatment with excellent Special Effects that were nominated for an Oscar. Albert Dekker is performing strange experiments in the Amazon jungle, and summons help because of his failing eyesight. The scientists arrive to help, and then are ordered to leave. They refuse. A fun watch.
"Corvette Summer" (1978)--A charm piece that depends on the chemistry and skill of Mark Hamill and Annie Potts. Hamill plays a high school senior who falls in love with a car he's restored. The car is stolen, and he hears it's in Las Vegas. He hitchhikes to Vegas, and along the way meets Annie Potts. Her character is determined to make a career--whatever it may be--in Vegas. Hamill is funny as someone who's a know-it- all about cars, but naive about everything else. Potts is very funny as a girl who hides her brains and feelings behind an ever-changing mask and a series of one-liners. Recommended.
"Nightwing" (1979)--Handsomely filmed, indifferently acted (except by David Warner) horror film set in Texas. Something is killing livestock and draining the bodies of blood; eventually, it/they start going after people. Warner plays a modern day Van Helsing, who is determined to eradicate the species. Horror film with American Indian mythology over/undertones is worth a watch.
"Wolfen" (1981)--Something is committing a series of murders in New York, from the realms of the obscenely rich, to the ruins of the South Bronx. Film has Excellent photography, Special Effects, good script--but falls short in the acting department. Albert Finney is ok, Gregory Hines is good, but Diane Venora is not believable as a terrorism expert--but she's very believable as a dim 'damsel in distress". Recommended.
"Here Come The Girls" (1953)--Bob Hope is the worlds' oldest chorus boy and insanely overconfident. Pleasure in the film (for me) was watching Hope destroy every production number he was a part of, listening to Rosemary Clooney and Tony Martin sing the heck out of an undistinguished score, laughing at the occasional aside to the audience, and watching Arlene Dahl act the temperamental Diva. To find, search "Arlene Dahl" on archivedotorg.
Favorite--"Corvette Summer" (1978).
Least Favorite--"Arrowhead" (1953).
