El lobo de mar
Executive Producer
Un ferry zozobra en las brumosas aguas de San Francisco. Los dos supervivientes, Humphrey y la atractiva artista Flaxen son rescatados por el buque Ghost. El capitán es un hombre duro y misterioso, que les explica que se dedican a la caza de focas y, con este fin, se dirigen hacia una colonia de estos animales. Sin embargo, una vez que llegan hasta su destino, descubren con sorpresa que se encuentra completamente vacío. El capitán no duda en poner rumbo hacia el barco que él sospecha que ha saqueado su botín de animales. Se trata del barco que capitanea su eterno rival, que no es otro que su propio hermano. En su obsesión por darle caza, el capitán se revela como un déspota, carente de cualquier atisbo de compasión hacia sus hombres. Estos organizan un motín a bordo, pero fracasa, por lo que Humphrey y Flaxen intentan huir en una balsa. Por desgracia, la corriente no les dirige hacia la costa. (FILMAFFINITY)

Bud and Lou
Executive Producer
They were the greatest partners that ever partnered, partner. No, I haven’t lost the ability to write, I’m simply repeating the word repeated ad nauseam in the 1978 television biopic, Bud and Lou. I avoided watching/reviewing this for a while, predominately because I know absolutely nothing about Abbott and Costello, and the duo, embodied by Buddy Hackett and Harvey Korman, instilled a belief this was a cheapo TV movie….which it is. Bud and Lou plays as if the screenwriter read a Sparknotes write-up about the duo and thought it was too long. On top of it all, the characters are bipolar in temperament and horribly miscast. For a movie about two comedians, the only humor derived is in the belief this television movie was a good idea. Bud Abbott (Korman) and Lou Costello (Hackett) struggle to rise up the burlesque ranks, eventually becoming successful comedic actors. However, various problems complicate their fame.

Once Upon a Mattress
Executive Producer
Once Upon a Mattress is a musical comedy with music by Mary Rodgers, lyrics by Marshall Barer, and book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller, and Marshall Barer. The musical story of THE PRINCESS AND THE PEA, this television adaption of the 1959 Broadway hit was videotaped in black and white in front of a live audience and featured Burnett, Bova, Gilford, and White from the original Broadway cast, as well as new principals Bill Hayes as the Minstrel, Shani Wallis as Lady Larken and Elliott Gould (in his first appearance on any screen) as the Jester. Due to the reduced running time of 90 minutes, several songs and scenes were either cut or shortened. The conflict concerning Sir Harry and Lady Larkin was downplayed so that they were married in secret.
