Interesting facts

Fade In is a 1968 American romantic drama film starring Burt Reynolds and Barbara Loden, released in 1973. It was filmed in tandem with the Silvio Narizzano film Blue, with its actors appearing unbilled in various scenes.

Production

In a 1973 interview with writer Emory Lewis, playwright Mart Crowley stated, "I did write one film, Fade-In, with Barbara Loden and Burt Reynolds in starring roles. However, it was butchered by other writers. It was never released. I paid Paramount $1700 to take my name off the project."

Filming started in July 1967 and 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. Judd Bernard, who produced both, said "Both pictures are either going to be great or be disaster areas.

It was the first Hollywood made film to show someone taking a contraception pill.
