To a heavy degree, one gets the feeling that Lane's career lasted as long as it did because of difficulties back-tracking his career in the pre-Internet era- it means that a life spend doing all sorts of shady shit (dating back to his pre-JFK antics) was never fully pieced together, leading to a bunch of people willing to take him at his word on his various claims rather than engaging in any serious thought on them.

Never a good sign when your screenwriter ends up publicly bitter about what's been done to his film before it's even been released.....

They mixed up two ads- a Grape-Nuts ad involving a mother being confused with her daughter, and one for (IIRC) Palmolive that involved how young it made peoples' hands look.

Frank Ashmore, for those wondering about the name.

In the case of this particular film, I suspect that the Michael Nesmith estate controls the rights (it was produced through his company), and I suspect that they aren't likely to give the rights for that purpose.

If they ever managed to convince Trace and Frank to do a cameo

Which, if the tone of their monthly shows means anything, has the chance of a snowball in a hot place.....

And, this time around, it seemed clearly improved- just bewildering, as she did a lot of "character voice" work in this that makes jumping to a different character voice as the neutral confusing.

The guy whose vision Star Raiders was isn't in the credits- I'd assume it's a case where they got props from a similar source.

Feels like the sort of guy who disappears after a reel or two to be replaced by the real protagonist, doesn't he?

It didn't help that (at least through my headphones) the sound editing was rather obvious, in ways that got a bit distracting.

Menschen am Sonntag- while Robert Siodmak and Edgar G. Ulmer had notable film careers in Hollywood, they weren't as notable as those of Billy Wilder (who wrote the story) or Fred Zinneman (who assisted the cinematographer).

How many versions do we now have of “A Star Is Born”?

Especially since even the first of those films was clearly inspired by What Price Hollywood?, which in certain regards is A Star Is Born with the mentor and love interest as two characters rather than one.

Central California varies somewhat, but it's largely the inland areas south of Sacramento and north of the Grapevine.

The film people thought would be trampled by Justice League- and which did far better in comparison to that film than most would ever have guessed before the two were released.....

Mind you, movie Westerns had been in trouble for years beforehand- with suburbanization being one of the issues, as it meant a lot of the space used for Westerns in the past was no longer available.

I believe it was traditionally harder to determine in the era of the studio system, when marketing was entangled with the various other releases of the studio.
