Ann Turkel's singing...

...is so embarrassingly bad I had to fast forward halfway through her "song". Who thought it was a good idea to let that bring the film to a screeching halt?

Probably her boyfriend, the star of the movie.

Yep, Richard Harris' marriage to the atonal Turkel certainly proved that love is blind.

She does remember him very fondly, though. Think of her as Bo Derek without the boobs.

Not only blind but deaf too, in this case apparently.

Her singing was a bigger threat to the train than the plague!!

For some reason, I could not help thinking of Airplane whilst watching that scene.

Shirley, you can't be serious.

In all the years I have seen this movie, including going in late to work as a teen-ager because I was watching Cassandra Crossing, I never heard that song, until I finally bought the movie on DVD.

I would see that title at the end of the movie and thought it was for the theme music, played at the beginning and the end, which I always loved.

Absolutely. I really hoped that a neighbouring carriage would complain about the catawailing and then 'Max' the conductor would use the 'Chemical Billy' to mace them all down. Maybe in the remake.
