The feature film Fabian of the Yard (1954) simply consisted of several episodes of the TV series of the same name edited together. The TV series was shot on 35mm film, so editing it into a theatrical release was quite possible. Also, it was a good series by most accounts, so I suspect the film was probably entertaining (I must admit I'm rather fond of those old UK crime dramas). But really, making a film simply by editing together TV episodes does seem rather lazy. Does anyone know of any other similarly lazy exercises in film making? I believe the 1975 TV series " Fay" was also edited into a theatrical feature film (having seen a few clips from the series, I suspect it was a watchable film, although again, this seems rather lazy). |

There were a series of Bugs Bunny movies that were simply spliced together cartoons I'd seen hundreds of times with a sparse plot to connect them that was poory animated although Mel Blanc was still alive. I think one was Yosemite Sam trying to prove he didn;t belong in Hell but then coming to realize that he fit right in |

The later Three Stooges shorts that obviously recycle footage from previous shorts. I know part of this was done since the shorts department at Columbia was losing money due to TV becoming popular.
Movies like "Grown Ups" and "Ocean's Twelve" that are clearly paid vacations for the cast/crew and they don't really bother to come up with a script.

The good news was that Columbia started their own TV department which was quite successful. Funny how the then-smaller big studios like Columbia, Walt Disney and Universal successfully adapted to TV, yet giants like Paramount and MGM completely failed to enter the medium (although Paramount's TV division did finally become successful in the 1970s). |

The Sign of Zorro (1958) was just edited from eight episodes of Disney's TV series.
He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword (1985) was just the first five episodes of She-Ra.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) was just several episodes of the TV series edited together.

...Andy Warhol's film entitled "Empire" I wouldn't mind having that displayed on my wall, like a painting. Perhaps a future idea for interior decorating might be such video-paintings? |
