Okay, enough is enough! Yeah, I know you have been coming to b-masters.com on a regular basis to laugh and chuckle over reviews of various B-movies, but it’s time you were exposed to something different. It’s time you experienced some ART. So here’s a review of the first filmed version of the 1972 Pulitzer Prize-winning off-Broadway play That Championship Season. Before you protest and shield your eyes, I compromised in my choosing of an art movie to educate you. While it may be an art movie, it was produced by schlockmeisters Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus of Cannon Films. Feel better now?

“…and I have been striving for years to be an expert on Cannon.”
Only on the Internet, (probably) only with the B-Masters.

Cannon did ART films?

Well. Guess I have to check this out, then…

It always makes me happy to hear things like “[Cannon} loved making ALL kinds of movies.” Movie making in general is filled with such heartbreak I like knowing that there was something that made it all worth it.

Sounds as though it’s a profound success. Does it really count as a B-movie? How on Earth did Golan and Globus line up the cast and crew? And did I see their names on the cast list on the poster?
