The memorable directorial debut of Kihachi Okamoto, who later made “Japan’s Longest Day” and “The Battle of Okinawa.” The main character, Yasuko, is a theater student who wants to avoid ending up in a loveless marriage like her brother and sister. The film rhythmically depicts the twists and turns of how Yasuko pursues her dream of being in a love marriage as her father attempts to marry her to a husband of his own choosing. The modernity of the casts’ outfits also shines. The film also amply demonstrates Okamoto’s signature fast cutting speed and good sense of tempo.Read More »

Like Carole Lombard, the glorious British comedienne Kay Kendall was one of those rare actresses who successfully combined high glamour and low comedy. By all accounts, Kendall, like Lombard, was daffy and boisterous in real life, a charming madcap. And, like Lombard, she died tragically young. Kendall’s last film, Once More, with Feeling! (1960) showcases her gift for knockabout physical comedy, as well as her sophisticated elegance in the story of the tempestuous relationship between an egocentric conductor and his common-law wife. Yul Brynner plays the maestro Victor Fabian, who’s caught in flagrante delicto with a worshipful fan by his harpist partner, Dolly (Kendall). After Dolly leaves him, his career suffers, and many professional and personal complications ensue before they realize they can’t live without each other.Read More »

David F. Friedman’s Zorro-version is the coolest (and sleaziest)!
Forget that new blockbuster version and get the “true” story of our horny hero. People familiar with Exploitation Monarch David F. Friedman’s work (Blood Feast, Starlet, Wizard Of Gore etc.) will be amazed over the high production values and acting in this entertaining tale. Of course it’s sleazy as hell, some scenes are close to porn, but the spoofy jokes are a riot. Trashmovie icon Bob (“House On Bare Mountain”, “Love Camp 7″etc.) Creese is hilarious as Sgt. Felipio Latio (get it?) and John (“Starlet” etc.) Alderman ain’t bad as Estaban. Producer Friedman even makes a cameo as a sadistic soldier. The twist of this version of the classic tale is that Don Diego is gay by day and hero/superlover by night!!Read More »

Spellbound by the museum, Amanda develops a surprising romantic connection with Martino, who until now has only found companionship in his celluloid dreams.
