THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU opens. Dir. John Frankenheimer. Written by Richard Stanley and Ron Hutchinson, from the novel by H.G. Wells. Lamentable third version of Wells' sci-fi classic fatally knee-capped during its calamitous shoot by the firing of original director Stanley and the obnoxious prima donna behaviour of stars Marlon Brando & Val Kilmer. Also starring David Thewlis and Fairuza Balk.
