CONFIDENTIAL ALMANAC | Dates in Film Culture History<\/strong><\/p>\n

45 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 Friday, November 16, 1973:<\/em> Television and movie actor Ross Hagen<\/strong> makes a personal appearance at the Orpheum Theater<\/strong> in downtown Champaign<\/strong> at 7 p.m.<\/strong> to promote the regional opening of his newest picture, BAD CHARLESTON CHARLIE<\/strong>. Based loosely on the life of 1920s coal miner and bootlegger Charlie Birger<\/strong>, whose gang battled rival groups as well as politicians and the Ku Klux Klan<\/strong> in southern Illinois<\/strong> before he was arrested, tried, and hanged<\/span><\/a>, the period comedy was partly filmed in Champaign County<\/strong> three years ago this month but held up for some time from general release. Problematic investors and the resulting nonpayment of wages for many actors and technical crew members by local outfit Studio 9 Productions<\/strong>, which partnered with Hagen\u2019s Triforum Inc.<\/strong> company to make CHARLIE<\/strong>, attracted a lawsuit that was detailed in the May 12, 1971<\/strong>, edition of the <\/span>Daily Illini<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a> as well as the attention of the Securities and Exchange Commission<\/strong><\/span><\/a> in Washington, D.C.<\/strong>, last year. With the air cleared, the feature has been in distribution since June through International Cinema Corporation<\/strong> and is now playing at 17 area cinemas, according to a report on p.19 of today\u2019s Urbana Courier<\/span><\/strong>. Hagen advises writer Jim Hopwood<\/strong> in an interview that the state of Illinois \u201cis a beautiful place to shoot movies and you people around here should look into encouraging more of it.\u201d Much of Hagen\u2019s core team on CHARLIE<\/strong> \u2013 himself, director Ivan Nagy<\/strong>, producer Martin D. Wright<\/strong> of Studio 9, actors Kelly Thordsen, Hoke Howell<\/strong>, and Eric Lidberg<\/strong>, and cinematographer Michael Neyman<\/strong> \u2013 have another gang-on-a-crime-spree caper<\/span><\/a> in the wings called PUSHING UP DAISIES<\/strong>, this one coming from the Cannon Group<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
