Fade In is a 1968 American film starring Burt Reynolds, who said, "It should have been called Fade Out."[2]
Production
The film was shot at the same time as the Western Blue on the same location in Moab, Utah using some footage from that movie although it had a separate story, cast and crew.[3]
"Both pictures are either going to be great or be disaster areas," said Judd Bernard, who produced both. "There will be no middle ground with either one."[1]
Filming started in July 1967.[4]
Parts of the film were shot at Professor Valley, Castle Valley, Hittle Bottom, Moab, Dead Horse Point, and Arches in Utah.[5]
Reception
"It was screened for Bob Evans at Paramount and I think he locked it up in chains," said Reynolds years later. "It's never been heard from since."[6]
"It's the best thing I've ever done," Reynolds added. "An American version of A Man and a Woman."[7]
