Like to start a new thread which will give some interesting tidbits on events in the entertainment industry, that some might find informative. CLOSE TO YOU was a giant hit song by the CARPENTERS in 1970. However it was not a new song, This BURT BACHARACH song was used in the 1963 film TWILIGHT OF HONOR with RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN.

The song was not used in the movie Dan.
Was in the soundtrack album and also released as single 45RPM as B side of Blue Guitar.
The score of Twilight of Honor was issued on CD by FSM.

TO ALEX- thanks-Never saw the whole movie, I knew it was on the LP. I wonder did they had intentions of putting it in the film at one time?

Many times sequels don't make more money then the original does. Sometimes they do but one of the more extreme cases where such an event happened was with MAD MAX-79-[CULT HIT] and the big hit ROAD WARRIER-82.

One word titles are very popular in the history of feature length films, but how about one letter titles?, Well , there was M-35 and 2 remakes, Q-82-W-74- Z-70-If you can think of more pass it on.

If you ever see THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN-78- look closely. MICKEY LOLICH solid pitcher for the TIGERS and the NEW YORK METS in the 60's and 70's, plays a cop who gets killed by the title character in a 1 minute scene. MICKEY'S most popular moment was winning the seventh game of the world series in 1968

Long wacky titles were really popular in the mid to late 60's. There were a whole slew of them in that period. One of the longest titles in film history was OH DAD POOR DAD MAMA HUNG YOU IN THE CLOSET AND I AM FEELING SO SAD-68-[16 WORDS]

Sometimes a popular song on the charts comes from a very popular movie. However at times a really big hit song comes from films that came and went pretty fast in theatres. Two examples where there are many is I AM WOMAN- HELEN REDDY'S big hit on the charts from the come and go film STAND UP AND BE COUNTED-72 and WITH YOU I'M BORN AGAIN, BILLY PRESTON'S big hit composed by DAVID SHIRE from the come and go basketball film FAST BREAK-79.add more examples if you like.

Not to forget "The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent".
