C'est arrivé à Hollywood

Film starts out to be funny, then gets weird, and "Felicity Split" seems to be having trouble focusing her eyes; more like a zombie following directions. I felt sorry for the actress, clearly it seemed she was in a production that consumed her. Lots of of closeups of her rather pretty face, large Betty Boop eyes and defined cheekbones, but her catatonic reactions, silly smiling and staring were barely tolerable. After the first 15 minutes of fun and laughter the audience got quieter. Overall this film is a few notches above standard 16mm loops, in the same class of a similar film titled WET RAINBOW, with another obscure ingénue with one starring credit to her name. This is one of a handful of BETTER BUDGET ADULT FILMS that were very popular in the early 1970's. I noticed that hippie culture and hippie references were COMPLETELY absent from these films; in that sense they were mainstream even though there were huge centerfold ads for the premiere in Screw Magazine (a defunct New York underground newspaper). My opinion.

Really, you can forget the film; the purest entertainment related to "It Happened in Hollywood" was a cold read commercial performed by legendary radio personality Long John Nebel when the movie was playing in theaters in the early 1970s.

After a recorded spot about the film played on his broadcast, Nebel was to read some copy describing the film. What happened was complete mayhem, as Nebel struggled and failed to keep his composure and broke into laughter several times, and got the other people in studio involved as well.

But don't take my word for it! Search the recording and listen for yourself!
