Reassessing The Only Game in Town (1970) +The Staircase (1969)
Instead of filming Frank Gilroy’s play in its natural setting of Las Vegas, Vegas was rebuilt in Paris at a cost of $11 for Fox’ The Only Game in Town, so Liz could be closer to husband Richard Burton as filming of Staircase was winding down. As I often do at KQEK.com, I try and pair the available with the should-be-available, so alongside a review of Twilight Time’s Only Game Blu-ray is a review of Staircase.
The Rains Came to Ranchipur
Just up is a review of Twilight Time’s sparking Blu-ray of Jean Negulesco’s The Rains of Ranchipur (1955), the second film version of Louis Bromfield’s 1937 novel. Also added: a review of the 1939 original The Rains Came, plus some genuine editorial blather.

DVD review of the little-known (well, certainly for me) 1952 gothic suspense-drama My Cousin Rachel (Twilight Time), starring Olivia de Havilland, and a young fresh-faced snot named Richard Burton.
