The 10 Worst Films of the 1960's

Here is a continued look at the worst movies of the decade. This time we take a look at the ten worst films of the 1960's. As usual I am not going for obvious choices like the slew of teenage beach movies or teen motorcycle films. I am also avoiding anything that has Roger Corman's name on it, especially those shot in 2 days or less.

Here is the list of the ten worst films in alphabetical order:

THE ARRANGEMENT (1969) - Elia Kazan wrote and directed (from his novel) this dud about a Madison Avenue executive who goes mad and decides to re-evaluate his life, family, mistress and future. Kirk Douglas, Faye Dunaway and Deborah Kerr lent their considerable talents to the project apparently unaware that audiences don't want to watch a film's hero go mad unless it is well written (it isn't), interesting (no way) and involving (not in the least). Kazan's career nadir, he would only make one more movie and that would be 7 years later.

THE BIBLE (1966) - The first 22 chapters of Genesis are covered in this endlessly long (three hours) film that ultimately proved that even the greatest book ever written could be translated into a lousy movie. John Huston directed this mess and co-stars as Noah (looking inebriated) while also providing the voice of God. George C. Scott, Ava Gardner, Richard Harris and Peter O'Toole contribute to the mess all looking as if they would rather be having dinner and drinks at the pub.

CAPRICE (1967) - Doris Day's career was winding down when she made this awful spy comedy with Richard Harris as the two teamed up for some international intrigue. Day herself admitted later the film was nothing more then a cheap take-off on James Bond and a lousy one at that. Ms. Day knows of what she smells.
