Alamo?

 

[Detour (1945)]

it seems to me if they had used bigger stars it might have done better.

Or any stars, for that matter.

Bless him, but when Tom Bosley is your biggest name on the marquee...

 

[RichMurphy]

We just signed another deal with MGM. 37 films (30 KLSC and 7 KL/Scorpion).

Could improved editions of THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD and/or THE HALLELUJAH TRAIL be forthcoming? Maybe THE MUSIC LOVERS on Blu? Here's hoping!

Meanwhile, congratulations on the new deal.

 

[RBailey]

Hoping either or both of these AIP rarities might be part of the Scorpion deal. THE SAVAGE SEVEN is a Dick Clark production directed by Richard Rush with some great action sequences. MARYJANE is written by Peter Marshall of Hollywood Squares and Dick Gautier (Hymie the Robot on GET SMART). Marshall even has a short cameo in the film.

According to IMDB about Million Dollar Mystery, it was one of the biggest flops of the ‘80s. They had a contest to find $1,000,000 in the real world through clues from the film.

apparently, the film only grossed $1,000,000... so the winner, someone from Bakersfield, I believe, got the film’s profits.

I can’t say this is a ripoff of MAD WORLD, rather an homage, but it seems to me if they had used bigger stars it might have done better.

There were no profits to get, and grossing that amount of money means the film got zero. What a disaster.

Like to see Truffaut's Wild Child and Small Change.

Just looked through some old Box Office reports from our theatres and the best opening night gross was $293. It was a disaster. Lol

However, this title is a day one purchase for me. I love these try to be Mad Mad Mad Mad rip offs.

I triple that motion! Damn, somebody's gotta get these out on Blu!

It’s true.

Is DARLING an MGM title?

are there any Best Picture noms left that MGM controls besides THE ALAMO?

Iphigenia was released by Olive Films

Rhapsody in August probably reverted to Shoichku, so it'll probably be out from Criterion.

Well, it was distributed in the US by Embassy, so MGM may still have the US rights to it. But Studio Canal would be my guess.

 

[battlebeast]

No wonder it’s never been released on Blu.
