May 7 1975 

THE DAY OF THE LOCUST opens. Directed by John Schlesinger. An ill-starred Boschian gallery of talent-compromised, fringe-dwelling starlets & sychophants roil & recoil in Waldo Salt's period rich adaptation of Nathanael West's dispassionate hatchet job on the seamy underbelly of 1930s Hollywood. Starring Donald Sutherland, William Atherton, Karen Black and Burgess Meredith.
