A major critical and commercial flop for United Artists in 1975, Otto Preminger's ROSEBUD is fascinating in a 'What the hell happened here?' kind-of way. Theodore Gershuny documented the troubled production in his 1980 book, "Soon To Be A Major Motion Picture", which is an enlightening read. In short: An old school director/dictator ran head-first into Murphy's Law, resulting in a film where everything and everyone feels off. Relegated to the CBS Late Movie for its American television premiere and (as of April 2020) still unreleased stateside on any physical home video format, this ones main value comes from the realization that you're watching a once major director (and his A-list cast) firmly bottom out.
