Easy Come, Easy Go was a proposed film starring Jan and Dean which was abandoned in 1965 due to a train crash.[1]
Alan Rafkin was originally announced to direct.[2] Eventually TV director Barry Shear was selected to make his feature debut.[3] The plot involved a movie star (to be played by Terry-Thomas) who moved in with Jan and Dean and their friends to research a role.
Filming started August 2, 1965.[4] On August 5, the unit was filming background shots involving a train which crashed into a flat car; Barry Shear and Jan Berry were injured, along with several other crew.[5][6] The injuries to Jan and Shear were so severe that the movie was abandoned.[7]
The cancellation led to Paramount reusing the film title the following year for an unrelated film starring Elvis Presley.
