I tell you something i don't think films are really harmful as a whole,all of us at times who love film can't help feel sometimes like a priest in the Catholic church we can be so tempted , even when your moral mind is trying to stay good, this film Deranged , near the end , the killer hangs this very pretty girl up[of course they couldn't make it a ugly girl who you would want to stick a bag over her head when making love to her] on a like, meat hook in a farmhouse and doing a terrible thing to her, cutting her up , but the damm director shows her hanging up there with about the most beautiful rear end a lovely girl can have, you know the type that swirls down like on a ski slope, and my mind is saying how terrible this is what is happening but i am looking at this beautiful naked female girl and these are the scenes that make a moral mind very uncomfortable. i think i mentioned this before on another thread about a perfect butt, anyway i never forgot that movie or scene i first saw it when i was a young kid.

Now back to Disney, yes i know vey diverse thread here, I always found it interesting how a film can be so successful at one time in history then pretty much vanished from the media, Another Disney effort which has become pretty unnoticed in recent years is THE WORLD'S GREATEST ATHLETE-72-Variety listed it as one of the biggest hits at the B.O, in 72, Yet it has been decades ago when it was shown on network TV, very seldom has it shown up on free TV and cable ignores it as well, even the Disney channel has pretty much over the decades , film stars Jan Michael Vincent, Howard Cosell and some nice music from Marvin Hamlisch.I found some of the scenes to be fun to watch but like most Disney films in the 70's no classic.any comments?

A TIGER WALKS-64-this drama about a tiger on the loose stars Brian Keith, Vera Miles , a young Pamela Franklin and Sabu[his last film] It is another one of those obscure Disney films which got shown once decades ago on the Wonderful world of Disney on NBC, but have since advoided free tV, Cable and the like, Was on video once, Wouldn't it be nice if Disney had a 3 month marathon on their Disney Channel showing all their feature lenght films they made, in that marathon would be a bunch of films like this that to the masses have not been seen , Any comments?

A TIGER WALKS starred Brian Keith as a local sheriff who has to track down a tiger who has escaped from a small circus. Vera Miles plays the sheriff’s wife, and Pamela Franklin plays his daughter. Sabu is a circus assistant. The film was directed by Norman Tokar, who had previously directed the Disney dog pictures BIG RED and SAVAGE SAM, the latter of which had also starred Brian Keith. A TIGER WALKS was based on the 1960 novel of the same name by Ian Niall. The score was by frequent Disney composer Buddy Baker. The film opened in Portland, OR, on 11 March 1964. It was considered a curiosity by the critics, some of whom pointed out that it was somewhat more difficult to muster as much sympathy for a Bengal tiger as for an Irish setter. Bosley Crowther of the New York Times said the film was “angled towards zoophiles, especially those of the younger generation who are usually more compassionate than critical.” Variety noted that “the Buena Vista release does not succeed in its bid for adult enjoyment, principally because the film’s center of comic and dramatic gravity is synthetic and childish. But most kids will probably get a boot out of it.” A TIGER WALKS played as a two-part episode of Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color on 20 March and 27 March 1966. The film was released on tape in 1997, and more recently on DVD as a Disney Movie Club exclusive.

The likely reason why Blood Beach is so obscure was that it took down the company that made it (The Jerry Gross Organization). The film was their attempt at going into mainstream films but poor reviews and word-of-mouth prevented this. The film meanwhile has probably the worst performance of Burt Young's career. BLOOD BEACH had one of the final theatrical film scores of Gil Melle.
