K, SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER is worth watching if only for Liz's scream at
the end.
As for Losey's THE SERVANT. I watched it initially in film school
then again recently and is unquestioningly brilliant to this day.
Never saw PICASSO SUMMER but it sounds hilarious if not boring as hell.
What's that horrible one they play all the time, you know, right
around the Holidays?
I'm kidding.

I got to thinking that when I was a kid, there were a few movies
that were on television ALL THE TIME. What was odd about this is
that these just weren't the kind of movies one would expect to see
constantly for years (during the 60s and 70s) in a market like
Phoenix, AZ.
One that seems really strange now is SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER with
Monty CLift, Liz Taylor, and Katharine Hepburn. I must have seen
that film ten or twenty times on local TV in Phoenix. Another odd
one was Joseph Losey's THE SERVANT with James Fox, Dirk Bogarde,
and Sara Miles. Always on TV.
The weirdest film was one called THE PICASSO SUMMER with Albert
Finney and Yvette Mimieux. For some reason, that particular film
played almost monthly for a few years. It was an absolutely
unwatchable comedy/drama about a married couple driving around
Europe trying to run into Picasso.
Anyone else on MOPO have such odd memories?
