    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Vincent Canby, writing in The New York Times in 1981, stated: "Villit juhlat (1975) was made in 1975 but is only now receiving its New York premiere is the result of one of those not atypical fallings-out between the people who actually make movies and those who finance them. The original distributor, American International Pictures, didn't like [Director] Mr. [James] Ivory's version and released, instead, a drastically cut, re-arranged version that did poorly at the box-office. The movie was then put on the shelf for four years. The film being shown at the Art is the one Mr. Ivory and [Producer] Mr. [Ismail] Merchant wanted released in the first place."

      Nadine: [She walks into the garden, carrying a toolbox] Is this Mr. Grimm's house?

      Jolly Grimm: That's right.

      Nadine: Well, do you know where I can find Mr. Grimm?

      Jolly Grimm: You're looking at him.

      Nadine: Oh! I'm sorry... wow, you look thinner. Oh, well I didn't mean... it's just on the screen you look gigantic!

      Jolly Grimm: Who are you?

      Nadine: Oh gosh, I'm sorry. My sister said I should come. You know, Grace. Grace Jones. She came with Eddie Mangione.

      Jolly Grimm: What's your name?

      Nadine: Nadine. Nadine Jones.

      [she smiles]

      Jolly Grimm: [He takes her hand] Welcome Nadine. How did you get here?

      Nadine: I hitchhiked. Thumbed all the way from Burbank. See, I'm a dancer. Acrobatics, ballet... like that. And I'm good too, Mr. Grimm. I thought maybe you like to let me entertain all these movie people and...

      Jolly Grimm: Not tonight. It's not a good time.

      Nadine: Oh no... really?

      Jolly Grimm: You must be starved. Why don't you go to the kitchen and get some chow. I think there's some sasparilla in the icebox. Ask for Wilma. Go on now, it's right through there.

      Nadine: Thanks, Mr. Grimm... but maybe later?

      Jolly Grimm: We'll see.

    The Wild Disaster
    This is with out a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen. Plastic characters spewing the most amazingly bad dialog imaginable. If Ed Wood had still been directing in the 70's, this could have been his masterpiece. I am still surprised that Perry King and Raquel Welch did not pool their funds to buy out every print, so they could be spared the embarrassment of the general public seeing the most laughable dance sequence ever put on celluloid. It is especially sad to think that this was a big movie for James Coco. His true comedic talents were totally wasted in this mess of a film. The film is so unbelievably bad that I am surprised that it has not reached some sort of "cult film" status. It should be played at midnight at art house all over the US. It would bring screams of laughter from everyone in the audience. Maybe John Waters should do the re-make?
