Last week’s WDT begs the companion idea, “Bad MST3K Movies as Re-Done by Good Directors.”
“The Deadly Bees,” as directed by Billy Wilder, who was also a great script writer: It becomes a film noir with serious conflict between Mr. and Mrs. Hargrove, and Doris the bar maid/housemaid is a real love interest of Hargrove’s. Vicki comes to Seagull Island not to battle exhaustion but alcoholism, and Dr, Manfred is much more menacing. Tess the Dog is NOT voiced by a human. The Bowler-Hatted-Man has a bigger role that actually makes sense, somehow.
Um, Batwoman joins the Avengers? It could happen!
What’s yours?

University Place, WA — Prolific director John Llewellyn Moxey, died April 29 at a hospice here of lung cancer. He was 94. MSTies will remember his work directing the movie/TV pilot in episode 614- SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL.
Born in 1925 in Argentina, and after serving in World War II, he managed to get a job in Hollywood, starting in the editing room, then moving to assistant director. He later moved to television, where directed episodes of TV series such as “The Saint,” “Mission:Impossible” and “Kung Fu,” as well as the beloved “Night Stalker” movie/pilot. He retired in 1991.
Variety has an obit.
Thanks to Tim for the heads up.

What would your favorite (presumably good) movie look like if it had been directed by your favorite (not so good) director?
The Godfather by Hal Warren. Michael comes back from college, and spends a lot of time hanging around the house listening to Vito and Sonny argue about Connie’s bum of a husband, who they then go shoot.
Ben Hur by Roger Corman. The chariot race takes place on a much smaller track.
Star Wars, by B.I.G. Flying postcards of spaceships.
Your pick?
