THE REWARD did get some kind of release. I believe I saw it at one of the two drive-in theaters in my small home town in Western Pennsylvania. I saw it not because of the director but because of the female lead, Yvette Mimieux, whose films I devoutly watched ever since discovering her in THE TIME MACHINE. I also finally saw PICASSO SUMMER on late night TV in Los Angeles at some point. It was probably early 1980s when I first had a VCR machine to tape it because I never stayed up late at night to watch TV. Again it was because of Ms. Mimieux. Now I will have to search out THURSDAYS AND CYBELE.
