Ann-Margret, S/D

i have to see that, where did you find a copy?

i've heard it's one of the better movies from the worst year hollywood ever had

As I mentioned on another thread, I managed to hook up my VCR to the big-screen and I'm hauling out old tapes from downstairs. Had a sealed copy of Bus Riley that I probably bought for a dollar or two when VHSs were in their dying days. Looks like it's not on DVD going by Amazon (and the VHS has one of those silly prices).

i think it might be in the torrentsphere, I'll give it a try

The original Times review is online:

"Mr. Parks uncorks a set of James Dean mannerisms"--they're that blatant (didn't find the review until after I posted). Anyway, the reviewer (not Bosley Crowther) does the film justice. The director, Harvey Hart, is from Toronto; he made a weird horror film in the '70s called The Pyx.

i feel like james dean imitators were a whole major subcategory of aspiring actors in the 1960s. i imagine casting directors had lots of in-jokes about it.
