The Great Valley
Some suspect that The Great Valley’s big Hollywood debut THE SILVER DREAM never really was shown in theaters at all, but this seems unlikely, considering how we all remember it vaguely, like something we saw once long ago or in a former life. Certainly it had something to do with a silver waterfall, surrounded by sleepy fog or a deceitful mist…? And some people might remember a hazy romance between a man and a ghost…? Or that cowboy’s encounter with the fantastic cactus, or perhaps…a UFO spinning like a china plate on an invisible finger? Oh, you know! no one can really be so sure anymore. We were young then, and the world had a tricky way of going up in smoke any time you came too close. … Nevertheless, THE SILVER DREAM holds a permanent place on many critics’ top ten lists and is sure to be remembered, like a lost memory or a childhood nightmare, for generations to come.
