Anytime a Hollywood motion picture is made the aim is to make a motion picture that the public loves and that will become a best-seller hit. Take a fantastic story, throw in a few great stars along with some special effects and voila’, a huge box office success. But it does not always happen that way. Sometimes a film will contain everything that you think might make it a success and it still fails at the box office. There is no such thing as a sure thing in Hollywood.
Cry the Beloved Country – Moving redo of the’51 film based on Alan Paton’s beloved novel, in reference to a backwoods pastor (Jones) who, in’46, makes his first ever trip to the city of Johannesburg in search of his wayward child. At the same time wealthy landowner Harris voyages there to claim the body of his child, who has just been murdered. We see unparalleled work by Jones, Harris, and a largely foreign cast. Not as understated as the first making, however powerful in its own way. Cast includes Richard Harris, James Earl Jones, Charles S. Dutton, and Vusi Kunene. (120 minutes,’95)
Believe in me – Still one more’70s film that is all about drug tribulations. Working gal Bisset finds herself completely dependant on speed while living in the East Village section of New York City. Cast includes Michael Sarrazin, Jacqueline Bisset, Jon Cypher, Allen Garfield, and Kurt Dodenhoff. (90 minutes,’71)
My Son the Hero – Impressive movie in regards to sinister Emperor Cadmus of Thebes, who challenges the lords and faces the fury of the Titans. Cast includes Pedro Armendariz, Jacqueline Sassard, Antonella Lualdi, and Giuliano Gemma. (122 minutes,’62)
Fantasies – Substandard hogwash in regards to Derek’s and Hooten’s attempts to turn a Greek island into a tourist trap. Shot in’73, while Bo was sixteen. Cast includes Bo Derek, Peter Hooten, Anna Alexiadis, Phaedon Gheorghitis, and Therese Bohlin. (81 minutes,’81)
Slaughter’s Big Ripoff – A assassin is still playing games with the Mob in this dull action film. McMahon gives more effort to his role as the mafia boss than it is worth. Cast includes Jim Brown, Ed McMahon, Brock Peters, Don Stroud, Gloria Hendry, Dick Anthony Williams, and Art Metrano. (93 minutes,’73)
