Ransom Money (1970)
How to make a bad movie
16 September 2016
This seems to be the producer's only effort at anything. He also played the kidnapper. A vanity project. First giveaway to a cheaply-made movie is the sound is bad. Like the voices were recorded in a studio, not at the locations. The lead actress was awful. Her make-up was great, though. Broderick Crawford and Gordon Jump were the only professionals in the whole shebang. Crawford must have become disgusted and bailed early, so they killed his character off- screen. I suspect that was stock footage of Las Vegas. How about all those indoor shots in crummy motels? A device they might have learned from porn movies. This would be a good demonstration for film students of what not to do.
