Additional Information
Release Date: March 3, 1977 @ Radio City Musical Hall in Manhattan

Distributor: 20th Century Fox

MR. BILLION was never going to be released by Fox . It was made nearly 2 years prior originally under the title The Windfall. Italian actor Terence Hill was popular all over the world, but could not break into the Amercican market except in his films with Bud Spencer on matinees.

They had a hole in their 1977 schedule to fill until they released a little movie on Memorial Day called STAR WARS. So they booked it into the Easter attraction at Radio City Music Hall-usuially a way to get quick cash. It didnt last 2 weeks!

Trivia: Another film debuted at the Radio City Music Hall and flopped that same year even though it was a hit everywhere e;se. It also shares something in common with MR. BILLIO. What is this film and the commonality?

The film referenced above starred an actor who was in the Music Halls Easter attraction 2 years before MR. BILLION and went on to become one of the worst films of all time. Name this film and the actor?
