Other Side of the Wind, Robert Random et al


I "reviewed" a movie on here a while back---a terrible no-budget horror movie called Trick or Treats [sic]. It was made by the cinematographer who worked on Orson Welles' The Other Side of the Wind. The movie starred the guy's son. David Carradine and someone else appeared in it briefly. The guy went on to make a number of pornographic movies. He has 218 credits for cinematography on imdb.com and 143 for director.

The Other Side of the Wind had several B movie actors----Cameron Mitchell (The Toolbox Murders), Gregory Sierra (Barney Miller) and some others who appeared mostly on television. Robert Random (the young fellow who's naked through much of it) did his first semi-nude scene in Village of the Giants. He and his friends grow out of their clothes when they turn into giants and take control of a town. (Look for the Mystery Science Theater version.)

I don't know what this tells you. Don't be a snob, I guess. Anyone with a career of any kind is almost certainly better than you.
