I first heard of THE FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL in a book by Danny Peary called CULT MOVIES, I am not sure if it was volume 1 or volume 2.

He said great things about the movie and about MR BK.

A couple of years later, I was in a PEACHES RECORD STORE, and TFNM video was in a big bin with a bunch of other $5 videos. I purchased it.....it was very funny.....

I now have the DVD and the Blu Ray.....and watch it now and then. It was most interesting to join HHW and be a friend with its creator.

The first time that I heard of TFNM was when my sister was either just dating the guy she eventually married (and divorced...hoo and ray!), or they were just married. He had a membership in a video store back when that's how you had to do it...VHS tapes for home viewing were still very new and you couldn't just rent one anywhere. This was a place where you had to join or pay a fee every month and you got to "rent" a certain number of tapes per week or month. He took the whole family in there so that he could show us around and I noticed a videotape with boobies illustrated as musical notes. I also saw that Cindy Williams was in the movie. THIS was the cover, but it was a VHS tape, not Betamax. I never got to rent the movie and it wasn't until BK released the original DVD that I actually saw it, but even way back then, I had (surprisingly) heard of it.

Elmore - Leila is Leila Davis and oh would I love to see her again. She was such a sweetheart. I probably haven't seen her for these forty years.

The musical notes poster was the original design by Paramount with one exception - the first version had NO credits at all. We had to threaten to sue them to get the credits added (all the credits on the poster were contractual and had to be there). We didn't like it at the time - not so much the design, which was fun, but the "At last" and "The Ultimate Take-off" lines - I got the intended humor but knew most people would think we were saying it was some kind of "ultimate" movie, which it wasn't and isn't.

Ditto!!

Who'da thunk it? BK would start filming his movie on MY birthday?

Well, the irony is that six years later we began shooting The Creature Wasn't Nice on Monday May 5th.

Here's a link to the two Amazon reviews. ChasSmith's is as delightful as Jrand's. I look forward to others' reviews. And who will be the first here to try making Margaret's Chicken? Including those recipes was really fun. http://www.amazon.com/Murder-at-Hollywood-Division/dp/1504904559/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1430853716&sr=1-1&keywords=murder+at+the+hollywood+division

I'm game. Don't know how soon I'll get to it, but get to it I shall.

But I'll tell you which of the recipes I'll be making FIRST, and eating every last one of them:

The peanut butter cookies.

BK:

I followed along on Google and Bing Maps, and was frankly amazed at how faithfully you described the block on Lexington. If it isn't a tightly held secret, I'd love to know how you found and decided on that particular block.

(Can't help but enjoy the image of someone innocently picking up a book to read, and finding their own small apartment building or house is one of the main locations...especially the scene of a serious crime.)

Do you have specific buildings in mind for Adriana's and Billy's apartments on Detroit and (I forget his street at the moment)? As I recall, you've always identified the block and let it go at that, but do you have particular places in mind?

The new owners are here. Keith is showing them what he missed last time. They have brought petunias to plant in the boxes on the deck. I can already tell what they purchased is not as pretty as the ones we normally buy.

Had intermittent internet travails not due to anything on my side, but all seems to be back now, at least.

I may still have the FILMS & FILMING issue that had TFNM on its cover.

Dan M · « **Reply #111 on:** May 05, 2015, 01:32:43 PM »

I also have the PLAYBOY SEX IN CINEMA paperback for either 1975 or 1976 that features TFNM as one of the notable films of the year.

Dan M · « **Reply #112 on:** May 05, 2015, 01:34:26 PM »

The first time I saw TFNM was (I'm 99% certain) on Showtime, as that was the cable channel we were able to get in my area back in the late 70s/80s.

Dan M · « **Reply #113 on:** May 05, 2015, 01:38:34 PM »

When I got to college, TFNM was my entree into the Midnight Movies genre as well as the delights of low budget/highly creative movies, a majority of which are still better and have stood the test of time than a majority of studio product.

Dan M · « **Reply #114 on:** May 05, 2015, 01:40:52 PM »

The first time I rented a VHS of TFNM was through Palmer Video which was my preferred video store even when Blockbuster horned in. Palmer had lots of foreign, cultish, obscure and naughty videos that the mainstream and scrubbed clean Blockbuster would never touch. I even had to rent the VHS player in those days when I was a fledgling movie renter.

I went through a lot of blocks in Hollywood before settling on that particular one. I wanted it east of Vine and I wanted it to have a certain seediness. It was trial and error on Google first, but then driving around until I found it. Adriana's apartment building on Detroit is a very specific building, yes - the gal who played Joyce in The Brain at LACC still lives there, I believe.

Billy's is specific, too - I chose it by driving around that neighborhood until I found one I liked. It's actually kind of near where Alet Taylor lived when she was in LA.

Lunch meeting in thirty minutes. I'm hungry - I'm thinking of having my Cobb salad, but with oil and vinegar. Cobb salad without dressing is really low in calories, like under four hundred - but I slather on so much 1000-Island it probably ends up being over 1500 calories. With a tiny bit of oil and mostly vinegar it stays under 400.

Looks like the book arrived yesterday, and we just picked it up from the mailroom today.

The recipes look delicious, as doe the book.
