Tom, do you know if it was really was the case that Gordon just couldn't shoot around the woman for a few days? Or are the waters really deeper here? >The woman now credited (with her husband) with revolutionizing weapons-guidance technology ... was bu...

I think the saddest part of the article was that Lamarr had "bought a $165 dress for the film part." Shoplifting, nervous exhaustion, a son gets drafted, a lousy role, and ya gotta supply your own wardrobe?!? Not just a brilliant woman bu...

The woman now credited (with her husband) with revolutionizing weapons-guidance technology ... was bucking for THIS role...?! Let's just say the "I" in "B.I.G." in this case can stand for "Ironic"...!http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46848978/ns/tec...

HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, 2/4/66 - Zsa Zsa Gabor was signed yesterday to replace Hedy Lamarr in PICTURE MOMMY DEAD due to Lamarr’s suffering from nervous exhaustion. Bert I. Gordon said he had great admiration for Lamarr as a woman and an artist and would be ...

Pittsburgh's CHILLER THEATER also aired (7 times!) another Martha Hyer feature, 1963's PYRO, an odd Spanish filmed thriller with Barry Sullivan. I too never forgot the chilling rhyme from PMD, apparently Bert I. Gordon's attempt to do William Castle, who ...

I can see this running on a network - it looked like a TV movie. In fact, most TV movies that I've seen in the genre were better. Gordon's flat, unimaginative staging of scenes had me cringing by the 20-minute mark. Not that there was much to work with, t...

I haven`t seen this one since its network TV showing back in the late 60s or very early 70s. I don`t like Susan Gordon in this. I`ll skip it.

CROSSPLOT is an OK pre-LIVE AND LET DIE espionage outing for Roger Moore. Not terribly memorable, but an OK time-waster. Lots of bad late-'60s London fashion and hairstyles. It's out on MGM DVD and available on Netflix Instant streaming.

PICTURE MOMMY DEAD tomorrow, part of a three-movies-in-a-row Martha Hyer mini-festival; the others are RIDERS TO THE STARS and something called CROSSPLOT (1969); I never heard of it but the cast makes me want to take a look: Roger Moore, Hyer, Bernard Lee...
