Happy Birthday's End a Thriller with Flawed Ending
A mixed review of Happy Birthday to Me directed by J. Lee Thompson and starring Melissa Sue Anderson and Glenn Ford. Strong acting and effects contrast with an illogical ending and unresolved questions about the killer and past trauma at a prep school setting. Rating R. Stage 3 Theatre.

The Attic movie review. Carrie Snodgress and Ray Milland
A Forum Productions release at Atlantic Releasing Corp. The Attic is a psychological drama with a Twilight Zone like twist. Louise, a 40s librarian in Wichita, clashes with her controlling father while caring for him and a substitute coworker, Emily. Milland shines as the critical father. Snodgress portrays a fragile, conflicted woman. The film, modest in budget, struggles to sustain atmosphere and mood. PG rating cites mild swearing and adult situations.
