Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Christopher Oh dear. Poor Vincent Price. How did he wind up in this hackneyed film called "The Butterfly Ball"? Though he is a bright spot in this very unappealing film, nothing can save this production from the talent less hack who directed it. Speaking of the hack, Tony Klinger, he makes a big splash with his name all over the opening credits and glosses over the notables. If only his ability was a big as his ego it could have been a better production but I sincerely doubt it.
Noah Richardson I understand this is an early Rock opera but the director who made it is strictly out of the amateur hour. The shots, the editing, the lack of continuity and the script? Puh-lease! There is no script for this deck. I can't believe I wasted the few minutes I did on this poorly produced and directed drivel. If you want to see a good Rock Opera, please watch "Tommy" and skip this crime against culture.
Loren I had high hopes for The Butterfly Ball being good. I knew within the first few minutes I was in as much trouble as this film. The Director clearly was inexperienced and the film suffers because of it. Avoid this abortion of a film at all costs. Don't waste your time with this Ball.
stubtail I may be the only person who has visited this title and knows this one. This is one of the earliest forms of "Rock Opera" which indeeed features Vincent Price, Perched High Atop a concert venue reading the story of Mr. Mole. while David Coverdale( Yes the same one who was later in Whitesnake), Pace Ashton Lord and most of Deep Purple Play, jam and experiment.This is a multi-media event and the story involves some man in a mole suit running around London and the English Country side. I have not seen this in years but remember it flashing from the man in the mole suit to Mr Price reading and then the music .If you can find this it is a must ...not likely to see this on DVD , video chip or any future technology (By the way the picture on the cover of the box is quite similar to the Small Faces Ogden's Small Flake Lp).Its on a small label and it may be the only title they released on that label.. I wrote this mostly from memory..I still have a few brain cells left!
