He says, "“Anyone who wants to read the script can find it among my papers at the Wisconsin Historical Society." So, Mr. Craig, I see a road trip in your future.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15515783219367479399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-26147941544555765692012-06-12T18:31:28.054-07:002012-06-12T18:31:28.054-07:00Thanks to you both.

(If he's like most writers, he's got a copy stashed somewhere, but he might not want to part with it.) Yes, Dick Clark definitely produced exploitation films, the first being Psych-Out, which I probably should discuss one of these days.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15515783219367479399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-1657862371389611282012-06-03T19:54:26.599-07:002012-06-03T19:54:26.599-07:00Speaking of Dick Clark, he was a producer on some ...Speaking of Dick Clark, he was a producer on some exploitation pictures, too, amazingly enough. Stuff like the biker flick THE SAVAGE SEVEN (1968) and THE DARK (1979) among them. Casey Kasem is in the latter film as a pathologist. Kasem played some bad guys in trashy movies too like CYCLE SAVAGES (1967).<br /><br />Great story, Beverly!venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-39674879306508661762012-05-31T19:32:54.187-07:002012-05-31T19:32:54.187-07:00Another excellent look back at the old world of Ne...Another excellent look back at the old world of New World. I'm surprised Dick Clark had enough oomph with Mr. Corman to get the deal squashed - was Mr. C looking to possibly cast Mr. Clark as his own character? And, happy ending - it did lead us through to Rock n Roll High School - one of my faves!<br /><br />Do you think Mr. McBride would have a copy of Rock City lying around that I might read?Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.com
