The best episode of the maligned final season of HAWAII FIVE-0, when Jack Lord had stopped saying "Book 'em, Danno" for two reasons. First, there was no more Danno as James McCarther had left the series the year before...<br>
<br>
Second, the cement-haired Lord took more of a backseat... perhaps because of his underling's departure, replaced twofold by female detective Sharon Farrell, whose cop husband died on the third episode, and William Smith, who'd made waves as the villain's villain Falconetti in RICH MAN POOR MAN, as

When Dianne Hull’s otherwise energetic and sexy college student/disco queen Kelly wakes up in a mental ward (like Dorothy back in Kansas), surrounded by onlooking patients with endearingly unique personality traits, you’ll think THE FIFTH FLOOR was a heartfelt made-for-TV movie until the full frontal nudity occurs within that particular loony bin, which isn’t such a bad place after all...<br />
<br />
Except for Bo Hopkins as Carl, who seems like a nice enough, trusting orderly but he’s dead-set after Kelly’s body.... He’s already raped another inmate, that being scene-stealer and poster girl Sharon Farrell as Melanie. With shaggy dirty-blond hair and an unpredictable de<i>range</i>  of emotions, she’s the person most effected by what our main character Kelly should be more effected by: being stuck in a blue-walled purgatory that offers random electroshock therapy like peanuts at a ball game...<br />

Kelly, falsely accused of attempting suicide, had been intentionally poisoned... <br />
<br />
There doesn’t seem to be any way out of the ward except one successful escape that doesn’t last very long since Kelly’s boyfriend (John David Carson) is in cahoots with the friendly head doctor (Mel Ferrer). Meanwhile, strict nurse Julie Adams has real Nurse Ratched potential but turns out sweet and friendly, making Bo the sole antagonist...<br />
<br />

With frightfully promising taglines like "Once the door closes here, it never opens" or "The Nightmare is knowing You're Sane," it's much too cozy a cuckoo's nest for our sexy and vulnerable ingénue, who winds up teaching the patients how to disco dance and assert themselves.<br />

That is, except for Sharon Farrell’s emotionally-scarred Melanie, stubbornly remaining the only worthy example of (what could have/should have been a much edgier version of a) character-driven 1970's exploitation that, despite the flaws and missed opportunities, is still somewhat intriguing...<br />
<br />
And other inmates including Patti D'Arbanville (BIG WEDNESDAY), Robert Englund (BIG WEDNESDAY and Freddy Krueger from the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET franchise), Anthony James (who starred in THE TEACHER also directed by Howard Avedis), and Earl Boen (the doubting Thomas shrink of the TERMINATOR franchise) add little to the overall melodrama but it's a nice bouquet of character-actors nonetheless.<br />

<br />
</span>I was performing at a children's playhouse, one of the actors  from the movie (I think he played a cop) came by to watch us work. He  asked me to meet with Larry Cohen, and I did a couple of days later. The  meeting seemed pretty informal, just read a few lines and that was it.  Larry asked me to be in the movie, and I said yes.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN IT CAME OUT, AND WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE MOVIE?</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOZZprSAi0x6smqdFr9y1_q7SnSXgyOuEZKoJ_IM-Gkm8a10MfNq4FQ4dijG3xtm_AP3Y4bAuuH05GnFY1KaV1cKBWd81KnaOVwZpRnrpeElt2dLVTHbJ4_n0nLlv961I_FottQo0blII/s1600-h/Picture+008.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442009578932318802" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOZZprSAi0x6smqdFr9y1_q7SnSXgyOuEZKoJ_IM-Gkm8a10MfNq4FQ4dijG3xtm_AP3Y4bAuuH05GnFY1KaV1cKBWd81KnaOVwZpRnrpeElt2dLVTHbJ4_n0nLlv961I_FottQo0blII/s200/Picture+008.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 164px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 200px;" /></a></span>  I guess I was 12 when it came out. My family and I all went to the  premiere, and I remember my brother and I laughing at how silly the  movie was. We especially liked the milkman scene, and when the cops were  throwing steaks under the cars.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">HOW DID THEY SHOOT THE SCENE WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING HOME?</span><br />
<br />
</span>I was running behind a car. The camera was mounted on the back of it.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
<br />
DID YOU EVER SEE RICK BAKER WORKING THE BABY PUPPET?</span><br />
<br />
No, I don't remember meeting Rick Baker, but I remember the doll and Larry Cohen telling me how expensive it was.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">DID YOU WITNESS ANY OF THE BLOODY SCENES BEING FILMED?</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVAoVL6G0pDrXd3Zs7z-3riHuKY2l1NLBQy1B0wcRgRjUm4kATjS270qlrql12IOhI3YNuLmmw2xtzpDxML1p82DoM4L71ecSrn2q8KJTIlqqRalVOp0KWiyvHrivvWKgczM38xvrtmEA/s1600-h/Picture+015.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442005521390911010" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVAoVL6G0pDrXd3Zs7z-3riHuKY2l1NLBQy1B0wcRgRjUm4kATjS270qlrql12IOhI3YNuLmmw2xtzpDxML1p82DoM4L71ecSrn2q8KJTIlqqRalVOp0KWiyvHrivvWKgczM38xvrtmEA/s200/Picture+015.jpg" style="float: right; height: 200px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 162px;" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>I don't think I saw any gory stuff, but I think that was just because I wasn't in those scenes.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">HOW LONG DID YOU WORK ON THE SHOOT?</span><br />
<br />
I'm guessing a week or two.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">HOW WAS IT WORKING WITH DIRECTOR LARRY COHEN?</span><br />
<br />
He  seemed nice and patient with me. I remember for one scene he said  "Throw some water on the kid's puss.” I never heard that expression for  someone's face before and it stuck with me.<br />
<br />

RYAN ("RUNAWAY TRAIN") OR SHARON FARRELL ("OUT OF THE BLUE")? </span><br />
<br />
John  Ryan seemed very fatherly and cool; Sharon Farrell seemed a little high  strung. In one scene she slapped me a few times before we did it to try  and get me to cry. Later she asked me to slap her, and I did, pretty  hard too as I recall.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">DID THIS FILM INCREASE YOUR POPULARITY AT THE TIME? </span><br />
<br />
No. I don't remember anybody even mentioning it.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">HAVE YOU KEPT IN TOUCH WITH ANY OF THE CAST OR CREW?</span><br />
<br />
No. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">THE CHARACTER "CHARLEY" SLAPS YOUR BUTT IN ONE SCENE, AND SEEMS VERY INTERSTED IN "CHRIS"... WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT? </span><br />
<br />

Maybe if he had more time before the  baby monster got killed he would have made his move. Perhaps a little  hug to comfort me in my time of need, followed by a chance to see his  special home movies in the basement.<br />
