- DirectorRoy RowlandStarsPeter Lind HayesMary HealyHans ConriedA young boy dreams that he is in an imaginary world where, assisted by his family's plumber, he must save other piano-playing kids like himself from the dungeons of his dictatorial piano teacher who also mind-controls his mother.The N#1 film I most wanna see! The film personally developed by Dr Seuss himself; an apparent child's fantasy with some possible darker themes hidden inside! What's not to like? Sound like Dr Seuss meets Roland Dahl actually. I'm not the type to rave about how great movies are that I haven't actually seen yet, but this looks like totally great potential.
- DirectorWoody AllenStarsWoody AllenMia FarrowPatrick Horgan"Documentary" about a man who can look and act like whoever he's around, and meets various famous people.Woody Allen's most zany, far-out idea (probably, if not tied with SLEEPER); a storyline that really perks my interest.
- DirectorGiles FosterStarsJonathan PryceVanessa RedgraveTyler ButterworthA tragic mishap at a chocolate factory results in candy lovers getting an unexpected 'extra' in their sweets. The problem is that they want more!Very black comedy about a chocolate factory that accidentally produces human-flavored chocolate and becomes a hit sensation. Obviously an acquired taste (pun intended), in the MAN BITES DOG area. Another far-out curiosity that I would love to catch.
- DirectorRobert WuhlStarsLloyd AdamsRobert WuhlEric BrysonWhen the television ratings machines suddenly malfunction, public television suddenly, but mistakenly, soars to #1 in this humorous satire.Ahh; the age-old dilemma between "serious art" and commercial public entertainment; which this little movie apparently plays around with. Can't wait to catch this one.
- DirectorJim O'ConnollyStarsJames FranciscusGila GolanRichard CarlsonA cowboy named Tuck Kirby seeks fame and fortune by capturing an Allosaurus living in a Mexican valley and putting it in a wild west show. His star attraction, called the Gwangi, turns out to have an aversion to being shown in public.Am way peeved off right now. This was on tv just a couple of days ago; and I totally missed it!! I am so kicking myself right now!
- DirectorTed TetzlaffStarsBobby DriscollBarbara HaleArthur KennedyTo avoid the heat of a sweltering summer night a 9-year-old Manhattan boy decides to sleep on the fire escape and witnesses a murder, but no one will believe him.Child talent Bobby Driscoll stars in thriller. Remade as CLOAK & DAGGER. Would be interested to compare the results. Sometimes remakes do improve and update on an old idea (eg DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS vs BEDTIME STORY); sometimes they screw it up (LOST IN SPACE tv Series vs Movie).
- DirectorPeter UstinovStarsRobert RyanPeter UstinovMelvyn DouglasWhen a kind-hearted sailor is made to join an English vessel at war in 1797, he finds himself caught between devotion to his crewmates and obedience to their hated, cruel master-at-arms.One of those english lit essay type stories that actually sounds like a good entertaining idea. (very rare actually) Stars a very young Terence Stamp as a hot young sailor who gets seriously hasselled by Robert Ryan as a badass naval officer.. Great strong story with big ideas in it. Very promising.
- DirectorClarence BrownStarsSpencer TracyRita JohnsonLynne Overman82-year-old inventor and entrepreneur Thomas Alva Edison is honored in 1929 and he reflects back on his sixty-year career of scientific achievement.Saw the the prequel to this starring Mickey Rooney (very talented kid actor in both comedy and drama).
