Indeed this may be one of your only chances to see Lylah Clare, even though this picture dates back only to 1968. Robert Aldrich (What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte) financed this film from the profits of his immensely successful Dirty Dozen, probably because no studio would put up the money; MGM finally distributed the movie-but Lylah died a quick critical and box-office death, thereby insuring its banishment to quadruple bill drive-ins during leap years. It's a shame, for this saga of Hollywood is one of the most personal and intriguing American...
...husband at the Reardon sisters' apartment to deliver a get-well present from the faculty to the outcast Anna. Fleur, however, has in mind a more devious mission. She knows that Ceil Adams might help her get a certificate as a regular guidance counselor if she can promise to hush unpleasant particulars about Anna's transgression.

...warriors, their oiled bodies gleaming, danced and chanted, "Yao, yao, we abide, we abide, what was foretold has come to pass." Bells, gongs, metal castanets and deep-throated fontomfroms took up the refrain, then fell to a deep hush as the palace gates swung open. Walking majestically, the new King-or Asantehene-led the procession of sword-carrying royal guards, drummers, musketeers, elephant horn blowers, buglers and slaves. Because the King's person may never touch bare earth, his chamberlains chanted, "Walk slowly, my lord, watch that puddle, beware of the stone, walk slowly, my lord...
