My Blood Runs Cold (1965)

A spoiled rich girl (Joey Heatherton) has a chance meeting with a stranger (Troy Donahue, awful as ever), who announces they were lovers in a past life. Directed by actor turned director William Conrad (BRAINSTORM). This trashy thriller is the kind of bad movie that you can’t take your eyes off of. When Joey Heatherton (who turned a perpetual pout into an acting style) says of the bland Donahue, "He's the most fascinating man I’ve ever met!”, you just know what a deliciously bad movie this was going to be. The normally reliable Barry Sullivan as Heatherton’s father gives Donahue and Heatherton a run for the bad acting sweepstakes but Jeanette Nolan in an unusually glamorous (for her) role and Nicolas Coster bring some levity to the proceedings. A silly movie that should be more fun than it is.
