Panic Button (1964) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #PanicButton

With its assets In a sling, a panicked business group decides to solve its tax problems by creating a gargantuan entertainment flop and using it as a tax write-off. Before all you film buffs shout out the name of the famed comedy The Producers, let us introduce you to Panic Button, an earlier, lesser-known comic riff on the same theme. Michael Connors (Mannix) plays the biz group’s front man and spearhead of a sham film of Romeo and Juliet that would have made The Bard put down his quill forever if he had seen it. Essential to the front man’s scheme: hire a lead actor (spiritedly played by Gigi' s Maurice Chevalier) whose movies only draw flies, a non-actress vamp to play Juliet (Jayne Mansfield, celebrated early in her career as “sex on the rocks ) and a director (Touch of Evil’s Akim Tamiroff) proud of his ability to guide actors in portrayals of lampshades and trees. Eleanor Parker (The Sound of Music) also stars.

Directed By George Sherman, Giuliano Carnimeo
Starring Maurice Chevalier, Eleanor Parker, Jayne Mansfield
