3 out of 5 stars ... And They're Off!.......2007-05-06

This Daily Double of B (or less) movies/documentaries are stills and movie clips collaged in 1990 by Golden West Films and narrated by some guy (Paul Durris) who, one speculates, is Evelyn Wood's (The Evelyn Wood Seven-Day Speed Reading and Learning Program) ADHD brother. Claiming to "exhume and examine," commentating at a Race Track announcer-like clip, Durris dishes deaths of Hollywood famous and infamous, rarely pausing long enough to smell the roses in the funeral parlor or offer new insights.

There *is* included what turned out to be an ironic public service announcement done by James Dean during a break in the filming of Giant (Two-Disc Special Edition) (Digipack) in which he admonishes teen fans to Drive Safely, and background info to make sense of the death of Thomas Harper Ince aboard Wm Randolph Hearst's (root of Citizen Kane, grandaddy to Patty a/k/a Tania, see Patty Hearst: Her Own Story ) yacht, as seen in The Cat's Meow.

From the Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle debacle, through the demise of Marilyn, Morrow, and John Belushi, this duo is often camp preachy a la Reefer Madness (B&W) on the dangers of drugs and demon alcohol, and is mildly entertaining and "informative" in a National Enquirer sort of way. /TundraVision, Amazon Reviewer
