only a handful of these pilots would make the cut and be given a slot on a network’s schedule. “camp runamuck” was one of them. on february 4th 1965, citing an authoritative source, adams revealed that camp runamuck and another screen gems series, i dream of jeannie, were definite additions to nbc’s 1965 - 1966 schedule. camp runamuck would star dave ketchum, arch johnson and hermione baddeley. david swift created the series [ 3 ] .

the series would depict the misadventures of a group of male counselors at a boy’s summer camp and their interactions with the female counselors at a new girl’s camp opened nearby. the boy’s camp was called camp runamuck and was operated by “commander” wivenhoe (played by arch johnson). across the lake was eulalia divine’s camp for girls, better known as camp divine, which was by eulalia divine (played by hermione baddeley). mahalia may gruenecker (played by alice nunn) oversaw camp divine’s day - to - day operations .

a summary in tv guide ‘s 1965 fall preview issue called the series a “flapdoodle” and suggested it was “for those who like their comedy low and outside” [ 11 ]. reaction to camp runamuck from television critics was primarily negative .
during the 1960s, 70s and 80s, the adventurers camp leader, dennis webb, took lots of cine film to promote woodlarks and to raise awareness about the abilities of disabled people. it seems that dennis edited together clips and scenes from various eras, continually adding to and improving a core film called ‘conquer through courage’ .
television writer joseph c. cavella (urltoken) had this to say about camp runamuck :
critics savaged this 1965 - 1966 nbc sitcom about counselors at a summer camp for boys. arch johnson, dave ketchum, and dave madden starred. clobbered in the ratings by the wild, wild west on cbs, it wasn’t renewed for a second season .

solid wwii escape drama that concentrates on spectacle rather than suspense more than most. a decent war cum action film on the whole .
of the nine new series that premiered last night, i found only one other worthy of some reflection, nbc - tv’s half - hour comedy “camp runamuck, ” which is about a boys’ summer camp and a girls’ camp — and the reason for this reflection is that i have never seen a piece of television film that seemed so certain of the low intelligence of the mass audience. it was fascinating to view on this basis .
other episodes involved an eager wivenhoe picking up his new car with a klutzy camper in tow; a plan to elect a boy honorary camp commander not going the way spiffy and wivenhoe had hoped; spiffy attempting to spice up the camp’s food with fresh beef by purchasing a cow; the death of camp runamuck’s beloved turtle; an experimental surfboard with a rocket attached to it; and parents day at camp runamuck, in which the camp is overrun by parents wanting to check on their beloved children .
premiered on friday, september 17th, 1965. the first two episodes averaged a dismal 10. 9 nielsen rating, ranking 89th out of 96 programs. only two nbc shows performed worse :
admittedly, not the most positive feedback for a film i have screened. but at least my friend echoed the feelings of its star tallulah bankhead, the illustrious stage and occasional film actress whose movie swan song it proved to be: “ (its) a piece of shit” said tallu .

at one point, creator david swift was working on a script for a feature film version of camp runamuck that ultimately went nowhere [ 20 ]. the national association for better radio and television, in its 1966 “television for the family — a comprehensive guide to family viewing, ” called camp runamuck “unacceptable for family or children” and referred to its humor as “contrived” and “without creative merit” [ 21 ] .
there were plenty of stories that didn’t involve camp divine, including a two - part episode broadcast in november and december that saw spiffy quit camp runamuck after growing tired of the constant horseplay. he soon got a job in business but couldn’t stop thinking about camp runamuck and eventually rejoined. in another episode the counselors of camp runamuck tried to find a way to fill their new pool with water during a drought. they first attempted rainmaking and later brought in a truck filled with water only to wash away a cabin instead .
in the series premiere wivenhoe and the counselors are shocked to learn that a girl’s camp has opened up across the lake. wivenhoe’s bathtub, the only bathtub in miles and his sole comfort, was stolen by counselors from camp divine. they were tired of only have showers at their disposal. upon discovering the missing tub, wivenhoe assembles his counselors to conduct a night raid on camp divine to get it back .

wivenhoe wasn’t particularly fond of children nor was he thrilled that camp divine’s counselors continually interfered with camp runamuck by distracting his counselors. joining wivenhoe at camp runamuck were senior counselor spiffy (played by dave ketchum), counselor pruett (played by dave madden), camp cook malden (played by mike wagner) and doc joslyn (played by leonard stone; frank devol played doc joslyn in the pilot episode only). spiffy, despite his bumbling nature, seemed to genuinely care about the kids or at least more than wivenhoe did. pruett had a tendency to shake uncontrollably when in close proximity to women .
canadian director narizzano, after a tv career, was the untested hand making his cinematic debut here and who must take most of the blame for the uneven, slow to start and ultimately hysterical feel of the film. a nonsensical set - up, poor pacing and amateur performances from a usually talented and professional case all conspired to keep the film in post - production long after the clapper boards had been hung up .
– for the record, hermione baddeley didn’t appear in any episodes after the pilot. alice nunn as mahala may took over the running of camp divine .
maureen mccormick, who would later play marcia brady in the brady bunch, popped up briefly in the premiere as a camper at camp divine. she was later featured more prominently during a january 1966 episode in which she disguised herself as a boy in order to join camp runamuck, where she could have more fun .
in addition to camp, dancer / artist paul swan also starred in another warhol film, appropriately titled paul swan. swan, who was born in 1883, was once called
the most beautiful man in the world
by a journalist. in addition to dancing, he also painted as well as acted both on stage and in films. he appeared in cecil b. demille' s ten commandments in 1923 .

in late november 1964, hedda hopper reported that screen gems had four pilots in the works, including “gidget” with don porter and sally field and “camp runamuck” with hermione baddeley [ 1 ]. val adams reported in a december 23rd, 1964 article for the new york times that the three networks had 76 pilots in contention for the 1965 - 1966 season. he noted that half - hour pilots were far more popular in the current production cycle than in previous years. nbc alone had 24 pilots, 17 of which were half - hour comedies. they included my mother, the car, i dream of jeannie, the willies, mr. roberts, here’s aggie, hank, please don’t eat the daisies and camp runamuck [ 2 ] .
broadcasting reported in its february 15th issue that swift would write 13 episodes for the 1965 - 1966 season and likely direct the same number. he had written, directed and executive produced the pilot for screen gems [ 4 ]. when nbc officially announced its schedule on march 8th the vast majority of its new and returning programs were in color, camp runamuck among them. only i dream of jeannie and convoy were to be filmed in black and white, due to special effects for the former and black and white stock footage for the latter [ 5 ] .
camp runamuck was given the friday 7: 30 - 8pm time slot, opposite the flintstones on abc and the wild wild west on cbs. construction on two camp sets, one for boys and one for girls, began later that month at the columbia ranch in burbank, california [ 6 ]. on may 28th, tv guide reported that actor and composer frank devol was forced to pull out of camp runamuck due to illness, although he would keep doing the music for the series [ 7 ]. tv guide announced on june 5th that leonard stone had replaced devol [ 8 ] .
– i recall a weekly credit that read sight gags – cal thomas. thomas was a cartoonist / animator who worked at various times for disney and warners, among others. david swift was partial to sight gags, as those who recall the early days of mr. peepers will recall. a few years later, swift produced and directed the film version of how to succeed in business without really trying. for that film, he employed – and gave screen credit to – the surreal cartoonist virgil partch. (just looking for patterns here … )
her on - set behaviour has passed into legend; after the film had wrapped, tallu was called back into the studio to re - dub a single line of dialogue. wasted on booze, it took the sound editor eight hours to sober her up and record that one line .

many cartoony sound effects heard on camp runamuck were reused on a later screen gems sitcom on nbc, the monkees. cr star arch johnson had a guest shot in episode 9 on that series, “the chaperone”, as gen. harley vandenburg .
over at camp divine, mahalia may and eulalia divine worked with the vivacious counselor caprice yeudleman (played by former las vegas showgirl nina wayne), counselor nadine smith (played by beverly adams) and counselor ivy (played by carol anderson) .
“i built the bridge you’ll see at the end. for h & s reasons i stipulated only one person to be on the bridge at any one time. however, festus wanted to impress the chief scout so he got as many wheelchair users on as possible? and after 30 years i’ve discovered that it was all caught on film! ”
i watched this show in primetime when i was 11 and later caught it on tvland in the afternoons during the summer of 1990. my favorite is when cmdr wivenhoe and his counselors build a cottage for the women at camp divine, and 2nd would be the bathtub heist .
in february 1966, when nbc’s 1966 - 1967 schedule was beginning to circulate, camp runamuck was not surprisingly nowhere to be found [ 20 ]. the last first - run episode aired in april 1966, although repeats were shown during the same time period until september 2nd, 1966 .

ps: while i don’t think the early 1980’s bill murray movie “meetballs” was directly based on this show — maybe a seed of the idea was kicking around and maybe inspired the people who made that film — if only indirectly. this would have been the kind of show the writers / actors of that movie would have been watching when they were younger. a few of those folks might have even seen it .
devol definitely provided music for the pilot episode. hugo montenegro was then brought on to compose music for the series, although whether devol was involved in additional episodes is unknown. according to screen gems: a history of columbia pictures television from cohn to coke, 1948 - 1983, the original “title song” for camp runamuck was written by frank devol and performed by bobby darin [ 9 ]. al diorio, in his biography of darin, states that darin wrote the theme song for camp runamuck as well as another short - lived sitcom, wendy and me, but makes no mention of him performing it [ 10 ] .
camp was the last warhol film that baby jane holzer appeared in. she left warhol' s factory soon after edie sedgwick' s arrival on the scene. in response to an interviewer' s question about whether she felt comfortable at warhol' s factory during that period, she responded that
there was a period when i wanted out of there. i mean, it got a little bit sick, it just felt that the movies got a little bit too strange. people showed up at the factory and i got a bad vibration from them .
( uw49) holzer stayed away from the warhol scene until after he was shot in 1968. she re - established contact with warhol and continued to socialise with him in the seventies and throughout the eighties .
television magazine, in its third annual survey of critics, compiled a panel of 16 critics from across the country and asked them to rate all new shows as good, bad or indifferent. camp runamuck received two goods, nine bads and five indifferents. the two goods came from del carnes of the denver post and lawrence laurent
whether there was cynicism at work is something the audience will have to decide for itself. admittedly, “camp runamuck” is intended to be slapstick, but it is a show on such an extraordinarily low level that one feels it simply has to be intentional. it just couldn’t be an accident, one muses. you look and you don’t believe it .
– another fascinating glimpse of the efforts that martyn strover and others involved with woodlarks went to in order to provide an evacuation possibility for disabled adults from london. the whole process seems to have begun in jan 1938 … and on 27th august 1939 the adventurers camp was cut short, in order to accept a group of disabled girl evacuees from london .
i watched this camp slice of nonsense with a pal who, like me, shares an appreciation of the wild comments and wilder ways of theatrical grande dame bankead. here, at age 63 and without a hint of movie hair or make - up assistance, she showed no sign of letting up, frequently turning up on set as pissed as a lord .
– the casting of this show always kind of fascinated me. two of the main regulars, arch johnson and leonard stone, were known mainly prior to camp runamuck for playing tough guys (heavies, really) on just about every crime / detective / mystery show. indeed, after runamuck ended, johnson and stone went right back to the same typecast .
although here is is obvious he is unable to create even the slightest bit of tension or induce anything even approaching shocks and scares, narizzano has created with his technical team a quite beautiful looking film. the finished result has the crisp, pastel colours of a hannah barbera cartoon, or an episode of the 1960’s series batman, which bankhead starred in as the black widow. as bankhead descends further into madness, ghoulish greens are used when she attacks (for the umpteenth time) powers in her basement / shrine .
unfortunately, the commissioner of camps showed up unexpectedly and, in light of what he had seen, announced he’d be revoking wivenhoe’s license. eulalia was able to convince the commissioner that the men were bringing the bathtub to camp divine and saved wivenhoe’s job. thus, the groundwork for the feud between the two camps is laid and many episodes would involve some sort of conflict between the two camps .
terrance o’flaherty of the san francisco chronicle, despite giving the series an indifferent rating, wrote “i found the premiere to be the funniest show of the season in terms of laughing out loud in my own living room” [ 13 ]. broadcasting put together its own survey of tv critics, giving each review a score of excellent, good, fair, poor or bad. camp runamuck was given two goods, two fairs and five poors [ 14 ] .
we must also thank our previous archivists … i’m honoured to have known them all; hugh ‘gwidge’ gwither, derek travis and jim cooley. gwidge in particular did a monumental job of collecting and organising almost everything here over a 35 year period. deep boots to fill! what none of my predecessors were really able to do was share all this wonderful history with everyone. the digital age, and particularly the smart phone has changed all that. you’ll be able to watch a 1936 woodlarks film wherever you are, to download and read any or all of the 85 yearbooks, to download pages of interest from the scrapbooks .
for example, in an episode reminiscent of the pilot, pruett is given an air conditioner and caprice uses her feminine wiles to convince him to give it camp divine. wivenhoe then wins it in a card game and places it in his tent, leading pruett, spiffy, doc and malden to hide out there for the night so they can enjoy the cool air. meanwhile, mahala may and caprice try to figure out a way to get the air conditioner back .
“i’ve run this one through twice. from the opening shot the camp leader is clearly stan pain, making the salute as alex pratt pulls up the flag. other people i recognise are harvey miles (large, in khaki), victor griffith in wheelchair, possibly one of the routledge brothers at the sale table, bramble (hugh morgan) also in that scene, steb (michael stebbings) as a helper in the sports scene. the three leaving the chapel are of course keemo, along with rev eric jennings who was vicar of the bourne, and what looks like harvey miles again
it seems that a lot of nbc affiliates didn’t carry this show, including those where i grew up in schenectady, ny and nashville, tn, though i was just an infant when this was first - run and never would have been able to see it then anyway. i recall that it was rerun both on nick and comedy central in the early 90s, and i remember taping 1 episode off comedy central that had a silly plot about how an exterminator hired by the counselors shrank the camp, and they tried to convince wivenhoe that some beans that the counselors & the kids ate made them all grow to superhuman size. wivenhoe believed them for awhile too .
tosh carillo also appeared in warhol' s horse and vinyl and worked in a floral shop. he was known for his

which he used in horse. he could pick up pencils and write with his toes, as well as unzip the flies of trousers with them. in real life, he was heavily involved in the s & m scene and had his own

during a visit to england, young american patricia (stefanie powers) pays a visit to the elderly mrs trefoile (tallulah bankhead), the mother of her former fiancee, who died some time before. a religious fundamentalist, mrs trefoile is obsessed with her late son’s memory and sees patricia as the last living link to his memory, a memory that she will do anything to keep good and pure .
part of the fun with die, die my darling! (or fanatic as it was known in the states) is spotting when the editors were unable to cut around this. keep your eyes peeled as tallu totters about and slurs her words more than once .
its the kind of true story that would make a great play. and it did, looped starring the late, great valerie harper, premiered in 2010. (if you are wondering what line it is: “and so, patricia, as i was telling you, that deluded rector has in literal effect closed the church to me…”). incidentally, powers replaced harper on stage when the latter succumbed to cancer .
bankhead’s famously husky voice spoke better dialogue than the mediocre, random collection of words she has here. rising above her embarrassment, she none the less gives as fun and dementedly spirited turn that the material and director allow her .
its all over - acting though and her embarrassing over the top style is mimicked to varying degrees of success by the rest of the cast .
powers is the most timid young strip of a thing, pathetically clawing at her jailers and showing not a shred of common sense when attempting her escapes that one almost wishes she would expire .
a young donald sutherland slums it as the retarded handy - man. peter vaughan (game of thrones) as the lustful husband of housekeeper yootha joyce likewise debases himself .
working with the great but inebriated tallu could be a double - edged blessing .
its not much when recommending a movie but its something and at least bankhead is supremely enjoyable throughout, darlings .

larry wolters of the chicago tribune suggested that the show “makes the beverly hillbillies look like intellectuals and soupy sales like an egghead; ” hal humphrey of the los angeles times referred to the premiere as a “slickly produced abomination; ” and barbara tiritilli of chicago’s american called it “pointless drivel” [ 15 ]. the blade ‘s ray oviatt wrote that the premiere was “a straining comedy” [ 16 ] .
you begin to think that perhaps it took its clue from the success of the moronic level of “gilligan’s island. ” i am an optimist, though, and i like to think that human beings are capable of such clear - sighted commercialism. it is like looking at afternoon cartoons, only with people. is it “pop tv? ” is it so far out that it’s in? will it be a hit? i wouldn’t dare bet against it.

hi i have never seen meatballs so i wouldn’t know. mb was done in the 80’s so maybe not as i think no one would remember cr .
i was a small child in the mid 1960’s — and while i don’t think i ever saw this show when it first ran on tv — this does seem like the kind of silly - low brow stuff that was being shown back in those days — not really any worst that tojer short - run “bad sitcom” of the period. i noticed that it featured some actors that appeared in qyiur often in other shows in the late 1960 - early 1970’s. guess there is nothing wrong with being a “working actor” — no matter the material. it soes bring back memories of being a litle kid — would like to see .
were the closing credits on this site from an unaired pilot? i don’t remember this closing theme on any of the runamuck episodes. nor do i remember seeing bobby darin in the closing credits in any of the shows .
the closing credits here are from the pilot episode as rebroadcast on comedy central at some point in the early 1990s. i had not noticed that bobby darin was listed as writing the theme song. i guess it is possible that he did provide the theme song for the pilot only for it to be replaced for the remainder of the series. and because this copy was a syndicated repeat his theme was replaced but the closing credits remained .
– tv guide noted in its teletype feature that the big names on the series were behind the cameras; several episodes each were directed by hal march and howard duff .
– one other cast note: nina wayne (caprice) was the older sister of carol wayne, aka johnny carson’s matinee lady. post - runamuck, nina wayne moved to new york. for a time, whenever johnny carson took tonight back to nyc for a week, nina would take carol’s matinee lady role to johnny’s art fern .
if i conuemicatmd i could thank you enough for this, i’d be lying .
“arsenio was a big hit way back when, he exited prematurely, and aren’t we all just plain tired with jay leno and letterman .
after you do all this, you are ready to start performing in front of people for money .

the starting point if you’re just browsing should be the three scrapbooks covering the first 60 years! we must thank the the founders of woodlarks for these wonderful books .
you might then want to look at one or two of the old cine films .
right … there’s more for me to do, so i’ll leave you browsing! please come back to the page occasionally to see what other gems have been added .
– fascinating accounts of starting up again after the war, and preparing to build a swimming pool, the cook house, and to start a residential workshop .

movies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75% or higher after a set amount of reviews (80 for wide - release movies, 40 for limited - release movies, 20 for tv shows), including 5 reviews from top critics .
mark robson has made realistic use of the actual italian setting of the david westheimer novel in garmenting his action in hard - hitting direction and sharply - drawn performances .
sinatra' s character is unusually uncompromising, even for him, and the star delivers one of his best performances .
the cinematography and the scenery both add greatly to the movie. it makes it seem so much more realistic .
a far - fetched but thrilling world war ii adventure. watch it as part of a double feature with john frankenheimer' s the train .
an action packed prisoner of war thriller and ole blue eyes doesn' t even sing a note .
great tale of escape - underrated and not given enuff credit - sinatra acts as good as he sings.
