According to one of my old movie books, one of the critics around this time, Bosley Crowther, hated BONNIE AND CLYDE with a passion. And of course moviegoers loved the movie.
Count me as one of those who consider BONNIE AND CLYDE a classic.

1. if you rewrote the script to work in the whole roller disco angle and slipped the pages to EILEEN HECKHART and BURGESS MEREDITH overnight, I guarantee you that they would show up on set the next day READY, with their LINES DOWN and nail the thing on the first take. That's the kind of actors they both were.
2. none of us did.
ps- I can't remember if i have mentioned this to you or not, but LEE MONTGOMERY (who plays the kid in BURNT OFFERINGS) grew up to be SUPER HOT in the 80's- he was in a few more films before retiring (among them the 1985 TV Movie THE MIDNIGHT HOUR, who is a fun horror/comedy.)
BURNT OFFERINGS is the only movie I ever saw him in.
I must say he does look oh so fine in here. Maybe he was another who decided that Hollywood stardom just wasn't his cup of tea.

I realize I don’t have a lot going on right now, but I would probably give my eyeteeth for the chance to see ROLLER BOOGIE OFFERINGS, a moody, offbeat film about a haunted roller disco with a shocker of an ending.
(Can you imagine Karen Black in her Mrs. Alidice get up on Wheels?!)
She'd probably drive the other roller skaters off the floor, much like she threw Oliver Reed out the window (or drove him to jump as other viewers have speculated).

Have you seen these classics:
1481.
1382.
1483.
1484.
1485.
1486.
1487.
1488.
1489.
1490.
1483, 1485 (which is NOT the Tracy version of DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE) and 1490 are the only ones I recognize.
1483 and 1485 are watchable enough but I will never waste my time on 1490 again.

1471, 1472 and 1473 are absolutely my favorites in here.
1480 is definitely my least favorite in here.
The rest I can watch if I'm in the mood.

I think I recall reading that Fonda refused to make another film with Ford after Mr. Roberts. I also remember reading that Fondahad words with Ford after Ford humiliated John Wayne on the set of Fort Apache. Apparently, Ford made a practice of humiliating actors on sets and Fonda would have none of it.
Yet Wayne would go on to make some more movies with Ford, including THE SEARCHERS and THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE.
Sounds like Ford and Wayne had a love/hate relationship....can't recall though if they ever had a permanent fallout like Ford and Fonda did.
