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

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.

"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."

Filming started in July 1967.

"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."

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