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?
