Fade In (Taylor, 1968): BFI Southbank, NFT3, 6.15pm
This film is part of the Wanda and Beyond season at BFI Southbank. Full details here. This very rare screening will feature an introduction by season curator Elena Gorfinkel.
BFI introduction:
Made on the rocky Moab set of the Terence Stamp western Blue, Fade In
concerns a budding and unlikely city-country romance between a film
editor (Loden’s first leading role) and a Utah rancher. After editorial
meddling by Paramount, this film became the first pseudonymous ‘Alan
Smithee’ vehicle, shelved until a TV debut in 1973. Due to its unusual
production history, this is a rare opportunity to see this film on the
big screen.
