IMDB Synopsis
A notorious outlaw being escorted to prison by a homesteader and his wife turns
out to have satanic powers. He uses them on the man’s wife to try to possess her
and help him escape.
TV version of “3:10 to Yuma” except the arch villain seems to have Svengali-like
powers, and his gang are Native Americans. Nice cast of actors filmed in real
locations, but demon-wannabe Gene Barry looks more like a 70’s pimp with his
bad-ass medallion and leather suit. The movie just doesn’t possess the necessary
outright deviltry as found in, for example, the TV Satan-western “Black Noon”
made the same year. Might raise more chuckles than hackles.Read More »

Quote:
In the last decades of the 19th century, Karl May (1842-1912) was the most successful author in Germany. For 30 years he turned out 40 pages a day, constructing a staggering body of kitsch adventure-fiction that may originally have owed a certain debt to James Fenimore Cooper but that, finally, created a mythology quintessentially German.
In his most popular stories, written in the first person, May recalled his adventures in the American West with his idealized white blood-brother, Old Shatterhand, and the equally idealized Indian warrior, Winnetou. Seeking a change of locale, May also wrote similar first-person tales about adventures in the Near and Far East.Read More »

October 20, 1971, Woody Allen. At this point he was writing Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Afraid to Ask, had just finished Bananas, and had only been in analysis for thirteen years.

He appeared a total of seven times on the Dick Cavett Show; the clip in Annie Hall (“In the event of war, I’m a hostage”) is not from any of these appearances, but was staged for the movie – as explained by Dick in the short introduction.

The interview is one hour plus a few minutes for questions from the audience.

Woody: “The thing is, I can only write comedy. When I try to write something serious, it doesn’t come out serious.”Read More »
