I wanted to mention something that has bothered me for a couple of days. I recently finished that wonderful book on LADY IN THE DARK. Naturally, in one of the chapters the subject of STAR! comes up.
The author of the book asserts that STAR! was the biggest financial Hollywood flop until HEAVEN'S GATE came along. I think he's wrong about that. True, STAR! cost $12 million and its rentals were $4.2 million. But weren't movies like PAINT YOUR WAGON, LOST HORIZON, SWEET CHARITY, and TORA! TORA! TORA! much more notorious money losers?
