Burt Reynolds stars as Rob, a cowboy who is enlisted to work on a large period Western film (Blue) shooting in his hometown in rural Utah. He falls in with assistant editor Jean (Barbara Loden), and their chemistry quickly spirals into a difficult romantic entanglement.
This powerful drama utilises footage from the filming of Blue, sharing landscapes and brief uncredited appearances from Blue actors, creating a fascinating coupling of two truly unique films.
Though shot in 1967, Fade In was not released until 1973, relegated to a television debut after studio executives chose to shelve the completed film, and director Jud Taylor replaced his name with Alan Smithee.

This is the worldwide debut of this stunning, brand new documentary.
Film historian Daniel Kremer is your tour guide through an obscure, perplexing body of work heretofore ignored and often unfairly shunned. Cruel, Usual, Necessary: The Passion of Silvio Narizzano is an essay documentary of discovery.
'Gripping, spectacularly done, utterly convincing. I am humbled by the lyricism of Kremer's narration.' – Patrick McGilligan, Author of Alfred Hitchcock: A Life in Darkness and Light, and George Cukor: A Double Life
'Quite extraordinary. Daniel Kremer has come to the rescue of several underappreciated auteurs who have fallen between the cracks of film history, and now he sets his gaze on Silvio Narizzano. Kremer connects the dots and weaves together the threads of a fascinatingly disparate and eclectic filmography, and what emerges is a portrait of a unique artist and singular vision that was there all along, waiting for another visionary to discover it.' – Alonso Duralde, film critic, author of Hollywood Pride (TCM)

Street Date: July 30, 2025
Synopsis: Nominated for seven Academy Awards (and winning three), Hud stars Paul Newman as the titular bad-boy cowboy, directed by the legendary Martin Ritt (The Molly Maguires). Hud Bannon, a young Texas rancher who lives with his cattleman father and his hero-worshipping nephew, is an amoral, cold-hearted creature. When hoof-and-mouth disease shows up in one of the elder Bannon's cows, the rebellious Hud and his respectable father find themselves at odds with each other. Filmed on location in Texas, actors Patricia Neal (Breakfast At Tiffany's) and Melvyn Douglas (I Never Sang For My Father) both won Oscars for their performances. Acclaimed by critics and audiences alike on release, Hud is a must-see Western, packed with conflict and startling cinematography.

Movie Review: Sharks aren't the scariest thing in the sea-bound, super thriller 'Dangerous Animals'
As if a movie about sharks wasn't scary enough, the filmmakers behind 'Dangerous Animals' have upped the screams by adding what every thriller needs — a serial killer. While that may sound like very dangerous moviemaking, the result is actually taut and well crafted, a worthy birthday present to 'Jaws,' celebrating its 50th anniversary this summer. 'Dangerous Animals' stars Jai Courtney as an Australian boat captain who likes feeding his female customers to sharks and videotaping it, while also offering little brainy speeches about the nature of makos, mosquitos or sailfish while toying with his prey. He meets what seems like his match in Hassie Harrison's Zephyr, an American antisocial surf queen who lives in a van and refuses to be tied down. 'There was nothing for me on land,' she says. She's kind of a handful for any serial killer, For instance, she can pick locks with the underwire from a bikini top. Nick Lepard's screenplay is muscular and satisfying, with nods to 'Jaws,' of course, but also to 'Point Break,' 'Hannibal' and even the song 'Baby Shark.' He says he was inspired to write 'Dangerous Animals' by seeing a surfboard bag and imagining it carrying a body, which says something about how Lepard's mind works, though we're not judging. Director Sean Byrnes has a super ability to build dread and his scenes are crisp without being exploitative. The movie was shot on Queensland's Gold Coast, but may take a bite out of the region's shark cage diving fleets. I'm looking twice even before taking showers now. Zephyr and the serial killer play an engaging game of chess for most of the movie, if by chess is meant she's fighting to stay alive by wriggling out of handcuffs and running or swimming away and he's determined for her to be shark food. 'Oh, you're a fighter. I love fighters. It makes for a better show,' he says, biting into the scenery almost as viciously as the sharks chomp on chum. He also does that thing that all serial killers do — saying he and his victim are similar. 'You're hard as nails. Like me. You and me, we're sharks,' he tells her. She tells him to stop talking so much and calls him ocean scum. The music department has a fun wink with the soundtrack. One scene uses Steve Wright's 'Evie (Part One)' — in which the singer begs his love to let her hair hang down — as the serial killer makes mementos out of his victims' hair. Another moment, astonishingly, plays Etta James' 'At Last,' the ultimate wedding song, just as the bad guy finally captures his quarry inches from rescue. The setting of a boat in the middle of the Coral Sea unlocks a delicious new home for terror. Sealable hatches and no one for miles means screaming is no good. And the serial killer has weaponized Vegemite. One thing Zephyr has up her sleeve is a boy, smitten after a meet-cute in which she tries to shoplift ice cream. He's played by the hunky Josh Heuston and they're perfect for each other but she resists until she's snatched by our nasty boat captain. But even though she blew him off, her boy is suspicious about her disappearance and is on the hunt. 'Dangerous Animals,' thankfully, doesn't try to be more than it is, although the quite beautiful images of sharks sliding through the ocean show, naturally, that we are the species that inspired the title. After all, sharks don't see a surfboard bag and wonder if they can put a body in it. 'Dangerous Animals,' an IFC Films release in theaters Friday, is rated R for 'strong, bloody violent content, grisly images, sexuality, language and brief drug use.' Running time: 98 minutes. Three stars out of four.

All Aboard the S.S. Sydney Sweeney!
Fleet Week may be over, but that didn't stop Sydney Sweeney from embracing the nautical look. While she's keeping herself more than busy filming the third season of Euphoria, preparing to portray Kim Novak in the Colman Domingo-directed Scandalous, and mothering her new puppy, Sully, Sweeney has also found the time to promote her forthcoming film, Echo Valley. The actor, alongside her costar Julianne Moore, made her way to Midtown Manhattan early this morning (June 4) to discuss the thriller on Good Morning America. Sydney Sweeney in Manhattan, June 4. TheStewartofNY Coperni fall 2025, look 3. Photo: Courtesy of Coperni For her morning show spot, Sweeney opted for look three from Coperni's fall 2025 show. Styled by Molly Dickson, she wore a black button-through vest with a white striped sailor collar and a layered, pleated white miniskirt with an asymmetrical hem. The actor added a pair of black Wayfarer sunglasses and swapped the flat moto boot from the runway for a heeled black knee-high model. Yesterday, Sweeney was spotted in more traditional ladylike fashions in a full Burberry look: That included a belted beige trench dress, telltale plaid peep-toe kitten heels, and an olive green Knight Arc bag. But today, in her Coperni top, she's making the case for maritime dressing. Sure, S.S. may mean 'Steam Ship,' but it might as well stand for 'Sydney Sweeney.'
