Forgettable

Actually saw it so many years ago that I don't remember much of the film. However, knew Gil Kay, the director, when he was living in Madrid in the late 60's and wonder if he is still around and writing and directing. At the time he had a screenplay, that he wrote, and was trying to produce it in Spain. Madrid was a hotbed of film activity, fueled mainly by Samuel Bronston's productions. Big names and, for those days, big budgets compared to the Spanish economy. Gil was an integral part of the ex-pat community of film makers, most of whom came over to work on specific projects but, seduced by the extraordinary life style in Madrid, remained, sometime for years, trying to put together productions. A few succeeded but most returned to Hollywood poorer but wiser. So, anybody know if Gil is still alive and active? What was his last effort? Would appreciate an update at my email address: [e-mail]
