MARY CURRIER played the role, it wasn’t necessarily overtly lesbian, but her character had a “possessive streak” over Martha Vickers, I thought (which figures into the plot) https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TXONo2BGieA/VCNExiCP8FI/AAAAAAAAN7g/-k5YwBbaHMc/s1600/Mary%2BCurrier%2Bin%2BThe%2BFalcon%2Bin%2BMex...

⬆️ Yeah, kind of out of nowhere today I was walking on the street and I all of a sudden remembered that she plays the “wicked stepdaughter” in CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE- which is a rare film for me: I never watch it in its entirety because it STIRS SUCH STRONG EMOTIONS IN ME. Seriously, I burst into ...

for reference- the WEIRD CAT LADY from THE RESTAURANT in "CAT PEOPLE"

all right, okay, so I watched THE FALCON IN MEXICO and I see where the admiration comes from. https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.N2iGp8w8RK0v98hXt6zdfwAAAA?rs=1&pid=ImgDetMain You hear that SUCH-AND-SUCH MAIN CHARACTER GOES TO MEXICO and you instantly expect MEL BLANC doing SLOWPOKE RODRIGUEZ** and L...

Anyway, continuing on, saw another film I was slightly conflicted on last night, The Baby Maker (1970). On the one hand, its a very well-made film with Barbara Hershey ideal as a young hippie who agrees to bear a child for a couple who could not conceive, and the rest of the cast is quite good [And...

I found Where's Poppa to be hilarious and I didn't feel guilty about laughing if I find something funny. . I know what you mean. I feel the same way about the black funeral scene in LOVE AT FIRST BITE. To reiterate: I was seven when I saw the scene, some time circa 1983- so I imagine it was a gener...

If i ever have a surplus of cash (unlikely, but y'know, if ever) I think I am definitely going to buy a REGION 2 DVD PLAYER...

Although, does anyone know if they have those weird EUROPEAN PLUGS?

MY REPLIES IN RED- LHF Anyway, I've been wandering through more films, but it's been a pretty frustrating stretch ...... STILL PROUD OF YOU FOR BRANCHING OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE. PERSONALLY, I'D RECOMMEND A HARDCORE ANIMATION BENDER THIS WEEKEND- REWATCH THE BLACK CAULDRON AND/OR MAYBE EVEN THE CA...

In re: VANESSA AND THE BONE SCENE IN “THE DEVILS” I recently re-watched the film maybe a couple of years ago and the version I saw absolutely had the femur-diddling scene, but it’s done so quickly and so subtly (believe it or not)that you may miss it. It comes right at the end of the movie and it’s ...

TWO MORE EPISODES OF KOLCHAK- The first being HORROR IN THE HEIGHTS, which was due to its being the highest rated episode of the series on imdb...even though i never agree with imdb user ratings. it was still pretty good and pretty interesting, HOLDEN IS HERE, you would especially like it as there ...

The TV movie [KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER] was great, I watched it recently on Svengoolie and it still holds up. The TV show relied too much on comedy so it was hardly ever scary . See, I felt like the movie was missing humor, I enjoyed most of the humor in the two eps I saw, and I have to say, I am...

The Devils (1971) -- pardon my foul language, but HOLY SH!T. Oh, gosh. This is a hard film to deal with. On the one hand, it is clearly a well-crafted, well-acted film that grabs you and doesn't let go. On the other hand, it is downright appalling with some of the most obscene, blasphemous imagry i...

Sorry Lorna, I just hate Oliver Reed, he’s so oily.

It's fine, I have a sneaking suspicion he wasn't the most pleasant person in the world to be around.

unless you were tending bar for the night.

i saw that the one and only season of KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER is on PEACOCK. I've seen the 1972 TV movie THE NIGHT STALKER and honestly- in spite of a really scary finale- did not think there was enough "there" there [and it was also very badly lit- badly lit enough for me to recall how...
