Can I do it 'til. . . . . .

This is a screen capture from a low-budget comedy, Can I do it 'til I need Glasses? It's a quick shot establishing a scene taking place at a drive-in. The movie was released in August 1977. The marquee is from the Van Nuys drive-in and the movie is "A Star . . . ." Well what else could it be? A Star is Born!

ASIB

I clipped this image out of the newspaper. My best recollection is that it's from the cover of the weekend entertainment section either talking about upcoming Christmas events or a review of the year in entertainment. As I've said before, I wish I had kept the whole cover.

ASIB alternate photo


The theater strayed away from the classic Scavullo portrait and used this publicity photo instead.

Gary Busey on A Star is Born

Had the chance to meet Gary Busey earlier this year. I asked him about filming on A Star is Born and how tough was it on the set. He said, "I didn't have a problem. It was an easy shoot for me. It was tough for Barbra. It was tough for Jon. And Kris was at the tequila bar!"

Contest time

Decisions, decisions. Should I go with A Star is Born or Rocky? Didn't matter, I didn't win. Between the Charlie's Angels and Starsky and Hutch posters, a reproduction of the SIB poster was available at Spencer Gifts (a retail store) for a short period. I bought one there. Eventually, I bought a real one used in the movie theaters from National Screen Services.

ASIB difficult delivery

Another one of those "gossipy" articles that I love to read.
