And The Bones Came Together (1973)

An official (Laurence Luckinbill) in charge of relocating 400 families to make way for an urban renewal project finds himself dealing with one man (Herbert Berghof) who refuses to move. In an act of supernatural vengeance, the old man conjures up an ancient Hebrew curse. Based on a short story by Sholomo Keil and directed by Henry Kaplan (THE GIRL ON THE BOAT). A mediocre (and I'm being generous here) supernatural tale originally shot for television. It's a talky piece that babbles on and on while its lack of a genuine ghostly atmosphere finishes the job of doing it in. The storyline makes little logical sense. Just why does the old Jewish gent want to hurt a man for just doing his job? The other residents (all moved on except for him) all seem nicely provided for and display no signs of resentment. The narrative seems padded out and I couldn't help but feel pity for the struggling actors. With Robin Strasser and Earle Hyman.
