He was on so many shows and was SO creepy to me! Apparently, he was quite a nice guy and an artist in real life, but very effective as a cretin on screen. <br /><br />Donald Lam, I appreciate it very much! Thanks!!<br /><br />John Berry, thank you! I didn't write about the undies in F13, but I did choose a photo that gave a glimpse of them. ;-) That's part of what I meant when I referred to the carefree way that the actors cavorted around.

I honestly think Berserk is unfairly neglected although since it's definitely a campy classic it would be hard to see how mainstream it could get.<br />I do think that Friday the 13th Part 1 is a great classic and bears repeat viewing.

If "The Sentinel" e...BrianB, thanks much! If "The Sentinel" ever comes on, you can see Ava in the early sequences before the horror really ever gets underway. She's so breezy and sleek in her line delivery. No one else comes to mind to spoke quite that way. Maybe due to her being stripped of a southern accent by MGM, then aging into her own style? Jeff Goldblum always freaked me out because he was one of the thugs who kicked off Charles Bronson's "Death Wish" which I unfortunately saw at age 8! But, yes, it's fun to see up and comers paying their dues in early parts. <br /><br />joel65913, I enjoy "Strait-Jacket" very much, too. I think JC is very effective in the moments where she has her own grey-streaked hair and is still tender from her stay in the asylum. The camp factor goes off the Richter scale, though, when she starts in with that wig and dress (and bracelet!) get-up! Ha ha!! Love the reflections on Diana Dors. I enjoyed reading all of your takes, but I really have to agree about poor Christina Raines. She seems so nice and all, but I could never get on board with her acting style. Her voice was always flat and I am a stickler on voices. I am obsessed with late-career forays into horror by once-glamorous stars, but somehow have still not witnessed Veronica's and Miriam's turns at bat!!! I'll have to correct that soon, even if it is painful to witness. I found "Interval" once on VHS and couldn't believe my "good" fortune! Still have it at home with 24-hour armed guards around it. LOL Thanks!!!<br /><br />Unknown, I appreciate (and agree with) your comments! Thanks!<br /><br />Huttonmy710, thanks for the extra info on Davis & Black!! Sometimes in the lunchroom I will overhear "The Bold and the Beautiful" and I positively HATE the way some of the people whisper their dialogue. People do not talk that way in real life most of the time, so it's not like they are making any strides in verisimilitude by performing that way....!! Paging Susan Flannery!! LOL and I am far more forgiving of "Trog" than most people. Sure it's a comedown, but she's still giving it her level best most of the time. The direction was tacky no matter what she did and it was just mired in amateurishness, unfortunately. My own biggest disappointment was that John Hamel's beautiful body wasn't exploited to the degree it should have been! Ha ha!!!<br /><br />I really, REALLY appreciate the outpouring of support from all of you. Times are rough, I cannot lie, but it's not forever.

I had to deal with him in a Clint Walker film, too, and just never warmed to him. Even his more famous sis, who could be very effective, sometimes grated on me. Maybe in her case just amazing overexposure in the 70s and 80s. ;-) <br /><br />Gingerguy, I ALSO had recollections of DD being heavy in "Berserk!" and in truth she's huskier than in her hey day, but she's not huge or anything. I guess a severe corset can work wonders, though! Over the years, I've grown to adore her and always like seeing her pop up in things. (And talk show appearances of hers are also delightful!) Thanks!<br /><br />Shawny, I appreciate it! Creating a blog with google blogger is a cinch. They have templates that make it so simple. But MAINTAINING it for the long haul, in this case more than a dozen years, is the challenge. <br /><br />David, I appreciate it. I am still awaiting "Bracken's World" on DVD in its original splendor with all the sharp picture, sound, color, etc... as when it was first aired. I may croak of old age before that happens, but I will keep hoping! <br /><br />Huttonmy710, I thought Betsy did quite well! It was unexpected at the time for her to get down and dirty like that after years of sunshiny TV work. For her own part, she did the movie solely so that she could buy a new car! (Funny how we don't think of people who've been in show biz for decades needing to bottom-feed in order to afford transportation!) She figured no one would ever see it. Instead it became a phenomenon!! I do have to say that Joan and Ty did NOT form a very believable couple in "Berserk!" Those sequences are campy in the extreme with the lighting, the dialogue, etc... I'll have to take a look at the cut you're referencing. Perhaps just trying to give a little jolt rather than sticking with exposition? Thanks!<br /><br />(An incredible *third* part to come!)Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-19164180158104330212021-11-01T10:52:21.508-04:002021-11-01T10:52:21.508-04:00IndyAdam, thanks much! I appreciate it.
jobj69, T...IndyAdam, thanks much! I appreciate it.<br /><br />jobj69, Thanks for the great comments. "The Devil Within Her" is surely one of the lesser seen and known of these flicks. I have a fascination (as did many people, apparently) with women having demon babies! LOL Remember "It's Alive" (whose commercial petrified me as a kid) and the one with Barbara Eden inseminated by an alien (!) "The Stranger Within." <br /><br />Thanks, SonofaBuck!! I hope you had a great Halloween weekend. <br /><br />Rick, I didn't go on about it in the post above, but it was actually even worse that I described. Not only was I taken to task over the complaints with work, but I was also described as "self-promoting" (because maybe a dozen out of over 800 posts had something to do with my actual life/self on a blog of my own creation?!?!) and then the kicker: because I was gently teasing about an actor (one I actually rather cherish!) doing a nude scene, I was accused of body shaming... :::sigh::: I welcome anyone here who wishes to come, even a certain amount of dissent, but there's no inescapable tether drawing folks in against their will. People need to do as I do and visit where they want and skip the places they dislike. Oh, and learn that the world is not completely aligned to cater to the exact requirements they happen to wish for... Too many people trying to impose their will onto others who don't happen to see things the precise same way. So good riddance. I don't think Ava Gardner had anything done (and if she did, it was minimal!) I think she preferred to pull things up into a tight bun or under a wig. She had this sad preoccupation with a little injury on her cheek that left the slightest bump and it caused her to think of her looks as diminished by that. As if...! Even if she wasn't spring fresh at the end, her expressions were ALWAYS worth watching. Love her in practically anything. And, yes, Anthony James was petrifying! Forgot to mention him. <br /><br />A, thank you so much for your continuous support! LOL "The (Ex) Fan"! Yes, when I get going it's like an out of control boulder. Ha! I can't stop... As for JC and her Terpsichorean talents, you'll have to check it out for yourself!

She sleeps all day (Black was pregnant I believe so maybe that's why?), never goes to rushes and you can't hear a bloody thing she says on the set. When I made movies you could hear me in a tunnel."Huttonmy710https://www.blogger.com/profile/01797342313580278515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-50873233892759858702021-10-31T11:04:24.877-04:002021-10-31T11:04:24.877-04:00The last time I checked Veronica Lake's Flesh ...The last time I checked Veronica Lake's Flesh Feast it was utter garbage with no redeeming qualities to be had when compared to Trog. As Crawford stated in a 1971 interview (in conjuction for the showing of select films of hers at the AFI), she had never played a scientist before. The only disappointment she expressed in the interview was the film being double billed with a Dracula film.

There's no real mystery to it actually, I watched them for their female stars. It's the curse of the completist, you sit through utter trash that any other time would have you running the other way. The ONLY possible explanation for me having seen the dual tragic swan songs of Veronica Lake (Flesh Fest) and Miriam Hopkins (Savage Intruder) and of course the aforementioned Trog! Seeing them does help soften my stance towards other less than stellar wrap-ups like Merle Oberon's scattershot and messy "Interval" or Lana's "Witches Brew" and see them as just disappointments and not blights on otherwise distinguished careers. <br /><br />Those one sheets for foreign markets are so much better and more impressive than their American counterparts! Though both are far superior to the pathetic things they put out now that show zero lack of imagination or effort. I don't think it was just in horror where the overseas artisans excelled either. I've seen many posters for famous films geared to both markets and the foreign ones are almost always more vivid. <br /><br />Keep up the great posts....no matter how long between they must be. Life will intrude whether we like it or not!!joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-10205997598442649552021-10-30T20:41:31.068-04:002021-10-30T20:41:31.068-04:00There will always be malcontents who leaves a sour...There will always be malcontents who leaves a sour taste behind, but do not let some jerk with a bad attitude spoil your day. I'm terrible at keeping up and commenting but I'm always delighted when I get a chance to drop in and see a new post no matter if there is a gap in between or not!<br /><br />This is a fun one. I prefer Strait-Jacket to Berserk! but both are better latter day Joan than the unfortunate wrap up Trog. I cannot say I was a huge fan of the cruller bun hairstyle, it looked painfully tight, but I guess it made it easier to blend in the adhesive pulls on her face to give her that taut look! I agree however the fall was a bad choice. <br /><br />I've come to love Diana Dors though the years as I've seen more of her films. From what I've read she was pretty matter of fact about her looks-saying "The figure was fabulous, but my face was never much, little eyes and lips like rubber tires, I did well because I was the first and only British blonde bombshell" So when those looks started to lean towards the frowsy she didn't try desperately to hang on and have herself lifted and tucked into unrecognizability but pursued her very real talent for characterization. She was a real knockout in her youth and quite a skillful comedienne, but she gave some lovely performances in a more dramatic vein later, her final posthumous turn in "Steaming" is wonderful. However very few of those skills were called upon for her part in this slasher, but she dresses up the movie with some flash. <br /><br />I had not heard that Joan and Judy Geeson hadn’t gotten along. I'm also surprised that Judy was unprepared. She was a rising actress at the time, had been around for a few years and has had a lengthy career afterwards so perhaps Joan put the fear of God into her and she shaped up afterwards!!<br /><br />I thought "The Devil Within Her" was terrible, my main takeaway was when I realized that was Eileen Atkins as the nun! I think I even called out "Wow is that Eileen Atkins! What's she doing in this drivel?" But we all must start somewhere. I will say that Joan Collins did not bow to the material but gave a professional game performance. This sort of fodder was where her career mostly was in the 70's so being a journeywoman performer and a pro she kept plugging along keeping her chin up and it did ultimately pay off. <br /><br />Bette in those final scenes in “Burnt Offerings"!!!! Talk about being committed to the work, especially since she and Karen Black hated the sight of each other by the end of production (although it seems that animosity started right away). Oliver Reed is in his burly prime here, though I don't think it lasted much longer thanks to his prodigious alcohol intake.<br /><br />Oh, I detested "The Sentinel"! But I think that had more to do with the truly atrocious lead performance by Cristina Raines and what a total idiot her character was. My one pleasure was playing Spot the Star either past, present or future. Totally agree on Ava Gardner, since she was always just who she was she owned her looks as they aged and softened but like Oliver Reed the amount of booze she put away did not help. At least she remained recognizable unlike say Lana Turner and Janet Leigh who both visited the plastic surgeon five or six too many times. It's a pity Ava never thought that much of her acting ability, true there were times when she was just walking through her paces, even then though her star quality held your attention, but when she connected with the part and tried-Show Boat, Night of the Iguana and some others-she was electric. <br /><br />Friday the 13th was such a trendsetter, but I am not a fan. It was such a big deal at the time it came out I went to see it out of curiosity (and I was somehow induced to go to Friday the 13th 3-D where I lasted approximately ten minutes!) and I heard Betsy Palmer was in it (LOVED her from her game show appearances when I was a kid-it was NOT a fruitful reacquaintance to see her here!) but it thought the whole thing was transparently dumb and gross.<br /><br />joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-58715748561798749582021-10-30T19:12:10.792-04:002021-10-30T19:12:10.792-04:00Sorry, David Kenilworth mentioned Bracken's Wo...Sorry, David Kenilworth mentioned Bracken's World, not Shawny!

And like others I can find something in the side menu to read as well. Usually the bulge posts! <br /><br />I've only seen one of the movies here (Berserk) because I never sought out horror movies but there is a lot of interesting tidbits here. I love seeing stars who became popular in bit parts before they hit it big. It tells me that they put the work in to get where they are. Well, I'm sure some of them took short cuts! <br /><br />I would watch The Sentinel just to see Ava Gardener, she looks wonderful in that shot! And for some reason I've always been fascinated seeing John Carradine change over the years. I try to imagine him at home being a regular guy after a long day on the set! <br /><br />I'm probably one of the few in my generation who has never seen Friday the 13th. I was 27 when it came out and was getting past "scare" movies. I don't think I was ever aware of Betsy Palmer being in it. But I loved her in I've Got A Secret when I was a younger tyke!<br /><br />Thanks to Shawny for mentioning Bracken's World! I only saw a few episodes when it was on but can't wait to look back at it! <br /><br />BrianBBrianBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04971543273687192896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-44528268690514268862021-10-30T18:38:15.362-04:002021-10-30T18:38:15.362-04:00Hello.

The Razzies for one were darn clear she gave one of the worst performances when they nominated her as worst supporting actress in 1981. I imagine if Razzies existed a decade earlier they would have nominated Joan Crawford’s performance in Trog. <br /> <br />Berserk (save for Crawford and Dors) was hardly terrible but could've stood for some fixing/fleshing out such as the daughter subplot (with her turning out to the killer) and maybe a more suitable leading man like the originally thought of George Nader. I don't know what it is about Hardin (he certainly isn't a bad actor) but (and I feel bad to say) maybe it was the age/experience difference of him and Joan. <br /><br />Sidenote: I have the Blu-ray double feature, this and Strait Jacket on same disc. I noticed an odd cut when the inspector is seated with Joan at the party. Its just as he's about to explain what's in the paper in front of him (if I remember it was where his men would he stationed during the circus show) when it abruptly cuts to a strike of lightning. Such an odd cut. Wondered if anyone noticed that too. It didn't seem right.Huttonmy710https://www.blogger.com/profile/01797342313580278515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-18324591748664767172021-10-30T02:56:21.555-04:002021-10-30T02:56:21.555-04:00No worries about the time gaps.

This is such a crazy time for me too that it's a pleasant surprise to see a new plunge into the underworld. I love Berzerk, for some reason remember Diana being chubby in this, she is not at all and is a great nag and sneaky tramp, things I adore! Berzerk and Strait Jacket have problem daughters in common. Joan really is a scream, both as a hard nosed business woman and in the love scenes in her trailer. Sentinal we saw as a family (!!) my Dad took us to everything in the 70's and the lover Sisters freaked me out! I did see Friday the 13th and while no Halloween, it did have it's moments. I kind of remember the Crosby kid being talked about then but don't think he did much else. For me horror movies are so much more enjoyable when the reveal is delayed for as long as possible to let imagination do all the work. Those posters are fantastic! Joan has a face that fascinates.

Which does seem like the premise for an opening scene in one of these horror movies). <br /><br />In truth, I'm always impressed at the amount of content you put out when you are on a roll. <br /><br />I'm am always so glad you are able to post when you do. <br /><br />A.<br /><br />PS - I haven't seen "The Devil Within Her", but Joan Collins as a nightclub dancer?<br /><br />Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12994860402022617403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-42300412269787609152021-10-29T07:06:12.710-04:002021-10-29T07:06:12.710-04:00Hi Poseidon,

Always thought high heels were instruments of torture, but your pix of JC with/without show how they flatter the gams. <br /><br />Totally agree about Ava's aging. Always thought beautiful ages better than pretty, and Ava was BEAUTIFUL. Bone structure ages well, and a few lines never detracted. And as far as I've ever read, Ava never went the plastic surgery route.<br /><br />I also blogged about "Burnt Offerings," a childhood favorite. How amazing that Anthony James as the creepy chauffeur stole the show without a word af dialogue? <br /><br />Take care, Poseidon. Whatever and whenever you have time to offer us, I'm always in!<br /><br />Rick <br />https://ricksrealreel.blogspot.com/http://ricksrealreel.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/14243899548141583461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-29298842132113291412021-10-29T00:26:54.318-04:002021-10-29T00:26:54.318-04:00Ditto to IndyAdam’s comment.

Just sorry that things are so crazy for you - you continue to take care of yourself!<br /><br />I enjoy checking my bookmark to your blog every few days - a bit sad when there is not a new post (though I always remain on the site and revisit favorite posts) - but then to click one day and see a new headline is always such a joy! Especially this time, seeing, "Oh, The Horror...! and the photo of Joan's shocked face, knowing exactly when this moment occurs in Berserk! (I, like you, have to watch it every time I come across it...lol).<br /><br />I couldn't agree more with all of your selections here and the reasons why you love them. What would we do without guilty pleasures - especially in these times!<br /><br />I have seen all of them numerous times - with the exception of The Devil Within Her - I caught that during its initial theatrical release when I was a senior in high school. I don't remember much beyond the evil dwarf character and his putting a curse on Joan. I will have to give it another look!<br /><br />Finally - love the foreign posters! I have always been a fan of the artwork - the garish colors, the overly dramatic illustrations which, as you point out, often contained scenes that were not even included in the movie, just there to stir up interest and get people in the seats...so great!<br /><br />Happy Halloween to you!jobj69https://www.blogger.com/profile/14657669609224295536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-42042005729952071392021-10-28T20:44:08.116-04:002021-10-28T20:44:08.116-04:00No apologies needed for this reader.
