Notes: With topping the Feature Only rankings it would seem a monty that Joan of Arc would crack the 300+ EF point barrier. Smash it, in fact. But no, this notorious flop topped out at 285 points. 68th place is still commendable, but the fact that it could only manage three full weeks and had the rest of its engagements divided between Saturdays and Tuesdays indicates audience disinterest. On the 17 engagements where it had a supporting feature the Tim Holt oater Western Heritage had its booking card stamped.
