Blackern Films, 1973
starring: Lesley Gilb, Cheryl Smith, William Whitton and Richard Blackburn
written and directed by: Richard Blackburn
the plot: Sweet
young Lila Lee (Smith) is sent to live with a pious reverend
(Blackburn) after her father, the vicious gangster Alvin Lee (Whitton)
shoots and kills his wife and her lover. Lila is beautiful and pious, a
singer in the church choir and the object of the reverend’s often
less-than-holy affections. But all that changes one night when Lila
receives a strange letter from a mysterious woman named Lemora (Gilb).
In the letter, Lemora claims to be caring for Lila’s fugitive father,
and asks the young girl to visit her father and forgive him for his
past misdeeds. Lila’s journey is fraught with peril—the cities of the
Prohibition-era deep South are no place for a little girl—but, by the
time she’s on the road to Lemora’s house, Lila finds she has worse
things to fear.

written and directed by: Michael Nankin and David Wechter
the plot:
Throughout a college campus in sunny Los Angeles, five people receive
mysterious invitations to participate in an equally mysterious game.
The five include Harold (Furst), a greedy, schlubby loser, and Adam
(Naughton), a regular, decent guy who just happens to be Harold’s
longtime nemesis. During a meeting, Leon (Solomon), the game’s
eccentric creator, lays out the rules: Five teams must race across Los
Angeles, finding and decoding clues that will lead them to the finish
line of the “Great All Nighter.” The players balk at first, but soon,
through Leon’s machinations, Adam, Harold and the others pull together
their teams, pile into their cars and begin zipping across the city.
