Have you ever wanted to know if Cilla Black once starred with
David Warner in a movie where they grew magic mushrooms in
an electricity generating station?*

How about a movie in which Jerry Lewis stars as a clown, entertaining
kiddies who are about to be killed in a Nazi concentration camp?**

If so then the following site is for you as it features snippets of
information about some lost or very rarely seen 60s and 70s movies
that might better be left to one's personal nightmares:

*She did. It was called Work is a Four Letter Word, directed by Peter
Hall in 1968. I have mercifully dim memories of having seen this on tv
in the seventies. If it wasn't for this site, I would have believed it to
have been a personal nightmare.

**It is called The Day the Clown Cried and dates from 1970. :cross eye
[Ultra bad taste comment resisted here. Just.]
 
Cilla Black on 'shrooms...

That would explain a lot.
 
I just spent an informative and very weird half hour exploring the
other pages on that site - just follow the link to 70s movies on
the sidebar.

The impact of LSD on Hollywood produced a truly bizzare crop of
movies! :rolleyes:
 
Did you know she makes all her own clothes? Take a look next time she's on TV...
 
Looks like she dyes her own hair too....(ooooh, I'm such a bitch)

BTW, thank you, thank you. When I was working in the library service i spent weeks trying to trace 'The Clown That Cried'. A woman remembered seeing it and every avenue I tried drew a blank (this was the days when the internet was a dot on the horizon).....see!! it did exist I wasn't going mad.

If they remade it today I would bet my kidneys on Robin Williams getting the part.

It would definitely be crap then.
 
Great list, but I didn't realise the Slade movie Flame was so obscure - I've got it on video and pretty darn good it is too (if incredibly depressing).
 
MMMMMMMMMMMM!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMm MuSHRoooooms!!!!!
Me want! Me want!
:D

He already did the part, surely, in 'Jakob The Liar'?
