A sci-fi fantasy featuring Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd.
After disastrous test screening in Seattle in 1984, MGM scrapped a planned theatrical release for “Nothing Lasts Forever,” and the (mostly) black-and-white film has never been out on video.
With an oddball cast that also includes Mort Sahl, Imogene Coca and Eddie Fisher, it will have only its second US TV showing ever next Sunday morning, May 31, at 2 a.m. on Turner Classic Movies.
The long-shelved “Nothing Lasts Forever” began building a cult a decade ago when Murray insisted it be included in a retrospective of his work at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
There have been sporadic showings since, and owner Warner Bros. is working to clear up music-rights issues blocking a belated video release.
