Fade to Black was heavily promoted and probably made money -- it sure didn't cost a lot, LOL.

He was a remarkably talented young actor, and as a film freak myself, I went to see this several times in the theater when it was released. Lind Kerridge really did resemble Marilyn Monroe, but when she opened her mouth and revealed that Aussie accent, it ruined the whole MM Doppleganger effect...I also enjoyed the character actress who played the aunt (or mother?). And Mickey Roarke had one of his first roles here too, and plays it well. angelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.com
