DS Fest-Great Ice Rip Off to be shown Saturday Night

I understand from Jim Pierson the Grayson Hall-Lee J Cobb-Gig Young film The Great Ice Rip-Off will be shown Saturday night after the Night of Dark Shadows at the DS Festival.

And of course it's a Dan Curtis film with music by Bob Cobert, so don't be surprised if you hear some very familiar tunes in it...  For those of you who haven't seen the film, you're in for a treat!

This is, indeed, a treat.  I'm really pleased with the amount of Grayson content at this year's Fest.

No kidding. I am looking forward to this flick!
I get a kick out of these guys who think they're so clean, when all the time they're trying to cover up their dirt.

Just to chime in that whoever arranged for this to be shown deserves extra kudos.  The Great Ice Rip-Off is a very interesting movie--not a great picture, but well worth seeing.  I believe it was one of the last things Lee J. Cobb ever did.  Grayson's work in the picture is very plausible and toned-down--no throat-clutching or mugging here.  Her character actually has more dimensionality than the two male leads even though she has less screen time.  She does get to do a fair amount here, particularly in comparison with many of her other later film roles.

Bob Cobert's music is very UN-Dark Shadows, but at one moment, they do make a nod to the fans of their other, "legendary" project.

I'd love to see a decent print of this.  The copy I got from another fan is a bit on the grainy side.
