Fade In is a 1968 American film starring Burt Reynolds who said: "It should have been called Fade Out."[2]

The film was shot at the same time as the Western Blue on the same location in Moab, Utah using some footage from that movie although it had a separate story, cast and crew.[3]

"Both pictures are either going to be great or be disaster areas," said Judd Bernard, who produced both. "There will be no middle ground with either one."[1]

Filming started in July 1967.[4]

"It was screened for Bob Evans at Paramount and I think he locked it up in chains," said Reynolds years later. "It's never been heard from since."[5]

"It's the best thing I've ever done," Reynolds added. "An American version of A Man and a Woman."[6]

Production

Parts of the film were shot at Professor Valley, Castle Valley, Hittle Bottom, Moab, Dead Horse Point, and Arches in Utah.[7]
