I recently picked up the Kino release of what is claimed to be Lon Chaney's first starring role in a film, <i><b><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0013704/" target="_blank">The Trap</a></b></i>. By all accounts on IMDb, he had appeared in over 100 films and shorts prior to starring in this film. Like many other Chaney films I've seen, he plays a character who has been wronged, which makes it a perfect vehicle for him to demonstrate his talent at changing his appearance from one of innocent benevolence to crazed and vengeful. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiC2NysUlSP3g9U9NwsMjL32IMe54oO5qT6C5Ni8Zp9BAZjZvOrTUeugNwaECAdeGytno007RsrZjcvyFDc6uWDhFOFbHgV5ubZqcfDSi-uu33vQxYvxqiWL-4hLPfRBRxJCmFJGRiaAZvN0z7S5QSduIBmYqzv1_ftSlkgFdsg-g_Lnk6aC9aPMwU7g/s1440/Screenshot%202023-06-15%20at%205.59.15%20PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1086" data-original-width="1440" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiC2NysUlSP3g9U9NwsMjL32IMe54oO5qT6C5Ni8Zp9BAZjZvOrTUeugNwaECAdeGytno007RsrZjcvyFDc6uWDhFOFbHgV5ubZqcfDSi-uu33vQxYvxqiWL-4hLPfRBRxJCmFJGRiaAZvN0z7S5QSduIBmYqzv1_ftSlkgFdsg-g_Lnk6aC9aPMwU7g/w400-h301/Screenshot%202023-06-15%20at%205.59.15%20PM.png" width="400"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKxPx_0MQEyafCyadgqbpgfaO2Mg1umzy8dBqG93QqwjQXy8v2EnSFk8O-K05q8yULc7Up3QRfilndlBY8BkzjpnQAqrNCewlDFxRHhCeEucaVxPRbr3lqGfYlVmzPJVNqxHnJ4rayeZ8z5eUKQAGfPnL8Uifh04BZVLPYCrClYe_avGjJKYYXRLOpwg/s1456/Screenshot%202023-06-15%20at%206.08.25%20PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1082" data-original-width="1456" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKxPx_0MQEyafCyadgqbpgfaO2Mg1umzy8dBqG93QqwjQXy8v2EnSFk8O-K05q8yULc7Up3QRfilndlBY8BkzjpnQAqrNCewlDFxRHhCeEucaVxPRbr3lqGfYlVmzPJVNqxHnJ4rayeZ8z5eUKQAGfPnL8Uifh04BZVLPYCrClYe_avGjJKYYXRLOpwg/w400-h297/Screenshot%202023-06-15%20at%206.08.25%20PM.png" width="400"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><h2><span></span></h2><a href="http://agingbroad.blogspot.com/2023/06/the-trap-1922.html#more">Read more »</a>Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04594017640571724035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8255483657639656300.post-36526409847482933612023-06-10T11:03:00.002-07:002023-06-10T11:08:00.593-07:00Messiah of Evil (1974)<p>I decided to watch something from 50 years ago by selecting a title from my 1973 movies and landed on <b><i><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071396/?ref_=ttqu_ov" target="_blank">Messiah of Evil</a></i></b>. It wasn't until I went to write this post that I realized the incorrect date was listed on the Film Detective DVD, and it had actually been released in 1974.

You may still enjoy it even if you aren't a part of that generation, though it holds a special nostalgia for those of us growing up at the time. For the past several months, they have been uploading episodes and performances from artists of the era in honor of the show's 50th year anniversary, including Fleetwood Mac, Jim Croce, Linda Rondstadt, Willie Nelson, Journey, Steely Dan, Al Green, King Crimson, Tina Turner and many more musical artists. The show also featured comedians such as George Carlin, Richard Pryor and Steve Martin, and had interviews of musical artists. </p><p>What's different about this show from others of the time is that artists performed live, unlike on American Bandstand or Solid Gold, where they lip-synched their most popular tunes. In the era before MTV, many of us had never seen these bands perform and knew them solely from hearing their music on the radio or records, quite often through those memorable <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYVk4Uc2cGQ" target="_blank">K-Tel albums</a> that provided wondrous collections of the top hits. Seeing these live performances provides a whole new experience and understanding of the performers and their showmanship. I have a newfound appreciation for Genesis. I mean... I had no idea.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLpenaqD2zvEZfcfmDwl1KnnsjvNvv4UIDMmzLKJQRcmMwUJEQ1t9ZU5dAUuyenOG_uoukGNRLzMCFS59cAeqmomZ7CEO3BTifUeEcZ1Ge3gC6K3ra8hLy7vd7LvDv2SnlUUnK3wU1lOD9yWMDBL0McrWU9nwAgzh923itctaYUjzkzWH-oTwFp6lC8w/s1372/Screenshot%202023-06-07%20at%204.41.19%20PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em;

While it's not clear why Vanessa is a silent witch, whether she forgot how to use her voice after 300 years of internment or she just doesn't have much to say, it certainly makes her a more frightening figure. It's unfortunate this trait wasn't shared by Morgan Whitlock, who could have been far more menacing with a less bellicose and loud manner when expressing his seething anger towards the Laniers. It is difficult to understand why the Laniers would want to live in a house formerly owned by witches or why they couldn't foresee any issues with bulldozing a cemetery where one of their ancestors had buried a witch alive. I believe the Whitlocks may have exacted some measure of revenge in the end, though probably not in the way they had preferred. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitsET5erRsvJ2oec1Mu3yst7-jRMzSZq2yWB64uf59gi8NNZbKQSCcvQMhPNzOEx_tBbcRmz2wsshH53xQ6Yi-DaMm-BOYTyL1rvwSlpHjZijX5s7aHbgNqwbowgImTf86E0gtSI7VSG2AvrPYwZY8VObgplT_mpupYZmwEzo3Uasps6kWazUAToVNzg/s1406/Screen%20Shot%202022-06-05%20at%209.27.32%20AM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1046" data-original-width="1406" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitsET5erRsvJ2oec1Mu3yst7-jRMzSZq2yWB64uf59gi8NNZbKQSCcvQMhPNzOEx_tBbcRmz2wsshH53xQ6Yi-DaMm-BOYTyL1rvwSlpHjZijX5s7aHbgNqwbowgImTf86E0gtSI7VSG2AvrPYwZY8VObgplT_mpupYZmwEzo3Uasps6kWazUAToVNzg/w400-h297/Screen%20Shot%202022-06-05%20at%209.27.32%20AM.png" width="400" /></a></p></div>Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04594017640571724035noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8255483657639656300.post-834891927198550902022-06-12T13:40:00.003-07:002022-06-18T09:55:16.065-07:00Disaster Blogathon 2: Panic in Year Zero! (1962)After experiencing a rash of disasters, it's cathartic to turn to a good disaster film to be able to appreciate that things could be much worse, but also helpful to consider what to do if things should get much worse. In <i><b>Panic in Year Zero!</b></i>, we turn to Ray Milland, who directed and starred in this film, to provide us with food for thought on actions to take to ensure survival when faced with the aftermath of nuclear war.

It demonstrates how people can act contrary to their true nature when faced with decisions of survival, but what's interesting to ponder is the question of whether or not you can survive without turning your back on your mores and values when faced with the aftermath of a nuclear disaster.</div><div><br /></div><div>Ann resists Harry's assertion that they need to kill and steal to survive, though the movie seems to support most of his actions. His rejection of Ed Johnson and refusal to immediately take the family to a relocation center led to disastrous consequences, so clearly he was not always right. </div><div><br /></div><div>Harry is controlling and irascible the way he continually snaps at Ann, as well as the harsh way he treats Marilyn, yelling at her to "get dressed and get out," after she had been raped and had her parents murdered. It's difficult to know if his behavior was the result of the stressful circumstances or if this was in line with who he is. </div><div><br /></div><div>There are complaints about the discordant effect of Les Baxter's jazz score in this movie. I share the following clip to document what is surely the worst use of jazz score in film. I can only imagine that it may have been intended to lessen the impact of the horrifying action onscreen, but the music seemed more appropriate to a group of friends going on a madcap caper than a vicious attack. It's not surprising that the music is removed from this scene where it appears in the trailer for the movie. </div><div><b><i><br /></i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dx4rSA_cyUU1gZTHyHNJEGFUW22HCHBjsKCfO7RflXZVFSZiqTLhrAxoxf6CRvholShmb7efNzvQINT5zYRzA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div></b></div></div><div><b><i><br /></i></b></div><div>The movie lacks many of the special effects necessary to show the devastating effects of nuclear war that is found any many other films on the topic, since its focus is mainly on post apocalyptic survival and it didn't have the budget to support it, but that seems to work for it. There is also not a lot of information on what led to the use of nuclear weapons and who was responsible for initiating the attack, nor is there any indication in favor or against nuclear armament. Several radio reports are heard during the movie to give some indication of what was happening in the greater context of the situation, which seemed sufficient.</div><div><br /></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div><div style="text-align: left;">"Among the targets of this devastating attack were New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

That is pretty rare for me to do, especially with a contemporary film, but this is a movie that lends itself to being seen again to pick up all the things that were missed on first viewing. I appreciate the lush visuals, unsettling score, and the many layers to contemplate. It has the feel of a folk horror film from the 70s. It is shocking, unsettling and perturbingly satisfying. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvlfyJRfra28GGVjtehcj2f09DlOiNPPfS5P_AKDQa_jN6bvzfjnD0bj8WnZuTHopEBNRCYkwuRtNjxELS-Utc_uJhgaCEH8lwjMxfQd7mzKY6XEbeRQ4_7IZ3jhU_aERt1Ymd0CJLEjT4l_iZU6kSrbllouFhAdcYN7aYKjQGPqZ_8L6t3vZZyVTFjA/s1776/Screen%20Shot%202022-04-02%20at%2011.12.18%20AM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="882" data-original-width="1776" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvlfyJRfra28GGVjtehcj2f09DlOiNPPfS5P_AKDQa_jN6bvzfjnD0bj8WnZuTHopEBNRCYkwuRtNjxELS-Utc_uJhgaCEH8lwjMxfQd7mzKY6XEbeRQ4_7IZ3jhU_aERt1Ymd0CJLEjT4l_iZU6kSrbllouFhAdcYN7aYKjQGPqZ_8L6t3vZZyVTFjA/w400-h199/Screen%20Shot%202022-04-02%20at%2011.12.18%20AM.png" width="400" /></a></p><p>In this film, Dani experiences a tragic loss and ends up tagging along with her boyfriend and his mates to attend a once in a lifetime midsummer festival in Sweden. While it's clear that all is not right as attendees from outside the commune begin to disappear one by one, their fate only becomes known late in the film. This movie will easily become a favorite film that will hold up to repeated viewing. I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates folk horror. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4g8bPt9cZAoHl1pA-f9x-b7ggROcZWbRRTwdXPi3AN3nMH2HjcMU_A0BIYYZY0ve38k7HczqXDZHWiz6Sacxmb32A_8HoUk-m9mkxM04h3QIjG-8lQgEnuu0H93pFLRzoiaLCAEBqyu0Q-MErnoUgJwUckEsreu9nhi7wjhOzts9guo2NgDJAQyqMWA/s1672/Screen%20Shot%202022-04-02%20at%2011.00.45%20AM.png" style="margin-left: 1em;

I watched a movie about movies. <i><b><a href="https://woodlandsdarkanddaysbewitched.com" target="_blank">Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched</a></b></i> documents the history of folk horror films from all over the world. It is a thorough and interesting investigation that naturally inspired me to add to my burgeoning collection, as I couldn't resist exploring more of my favorite kind of horror movies involving backwoods pagans and witches. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEipTzgYrufq0CJMJ_X2fCkkzKHPagJlNIVGcLAoSCsSVXrfMZ8XkHuSyH6rQel2jH_BDYDthhQH4BKAv0AE_OTA5gmwiRA7imMk02bS4C90IcyP_UJsLqpWgJxEZY-Md90hnXHlrg_2ROiV8aAhMHJjgbYzyuzP1O5OFujDP3T3StqW4qHs5aGcYnU_Ig=s1288" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="956" data-original-width="1288" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEipTzgYrufq0CJMJ_X2fCkkzKHPagJlNIVGcLAoSCsSVXrfMZ8XkHuSyH6rQel2jH_BDYDthhQH4BKAv0AE_OTA5gmwiRA7imMk02bS4C90IcyP_UJsLqpWgJxEZY-Md90hnXHlrg_2ROiV8aAhMHJjgbYzyuzP1O5OFujDP3T3StqW4qHs5aGcYnU_Ig=w400-h297" width="400" /></a></div><p>One of the movies documented was <i><b><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0498409/" target="_blank">Robin Redbreast</a></b></i><i><b>, </b></i>a BBC television play from 1970 that seemed appropriate viewing for the first day of Spring. In this movie, Norah Palmer decides to take up residence in a vermin infested, remote country cottage after breaking up with her boyfriend of 8 years. She retains a local housekeeper, Mrs. Vigo, who seems to know everything there is to know about everybody; is accosted in her garden by Fisher, who immediately asks to examine her yard for sherds and always seems to be lurking about; and comes across handsome Rob, née Edgar, attacking a pole in the woods, clad only in a speedo. They all seem to have common knowledge of an artifact she found on her windowsill, asking her if she'd brought it into the house with no apparent way of knowing she found it outside, all describing it as a marble cut in half.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It was disappointing to come to the cruel realization that it was not feasible to complete my daily movie mission when I was just beginning a glorious celebration of cinema with French February. I had some fabulous French movies lined up that I just wasn't able to dedicate the time to enjoy. I suppose I was determined to attempt this impossible task for the second year in a row because my underlying motivation was to reclaim some personal time, in addition to making some headway in watching the many movies I've collected but not yet seen. Perhaps some of you cinephiles can relate. So many movies, so little time. </p><p>Fortunately, some of my work demands have recently decreased, allowing me more time to indulge myself in the Pre-Code Paramount collection of films on The Criterion Channel. This is a wonderful collection of fascinating films from this era. While I've seen the majority of these films, I would gladly revisit all of them again. I recently discovered <i><b>This is the Night</b></i>, which has an unfaithful wife (Thelma Todd) trying to cover up a planned romantic getaway to Venice with her lover (Roland Young) from her javelin throwing husband (Cary Grant in his film debut), who has returned home sooner than expected from the Olympics. This is a funny, lighthearted film that provides a nice getaway from these dark times. Some of the pre-code delights include the chauffeur accidentally disrobing the unfaithful wife on a number of occasions, and a man who is tricked into buying what he believes are naughty cards of Parisian beauties. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjZLcw210pILR92nXo9XoTddAndBXEyxcp97_jgBq9zLX1QU5CNgGwMD7rfSmk6BtucoaVeUIwJ-qwL0AO79zR3Jauw6CA874VHhe3wsnotH4WZtO7ig7Jd1kbicq0vdISRQ4S0V1ZzKaNyCkpOUO5ZhZlqcIMqSB9gPCesYamtgGk9k4thO0QnMpD2CQ=s1354" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="762" data-original-width="1354" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjZLcw210pILR92nXo9XoTddAndBXEyxcp97_jgBq9zLX1QU5CNgGwMD7rfSmk6BtucoaVeUIwJ-qwL0AO79zR3Jauw6CA874VHhe3wsnotH4WZtO7ig7Jd1kbicq0vdISRQ4S0V1ZzKaNyCkpOUO5ZhZlqcIMqSB9gPCesYamtgGk9k4thO0QnMpD2CQ=w400-h225" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04594017640571724035noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8255483657639656300.post-33984724599928741192022-02-02T20:00:00.406-08:002022-02-14T19:02:08.588-08:00365 Days: #33 The Long Night (1947)<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I first watched this movie in 2017 and would have been interested in watching it for the cast alone, even if I hadn't already seen the film that inspired it. </span></p><h2 style="text-align: center;">#33 The Long Night</h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhqTmlwx0gPdSt1gLDfYwuUVWLwUpO4YFRftfgRcKJmHtLngTNkLptrGYG-P7O952j-AsRnkZRkFxMrSmc9gGhrDtKEckdx1HrKnFnuNyCSi64oTs2rctk7BKPlIdMFonKABFYzII8r_BYRoRP_mOkD1MdX-vgMfQ1XI0rPDwTtWEyeIqfw5rZofIj8ow=s1394" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1068" data-original-width="1394" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhqTmlwx0gPdSt1gLDfYwuUVWLwUpO4YFRftfgRcKJmHtLngTNkLptrGYG-P7O952j-AsRnkZRkFxMrSmc9gGhrDtKEckdx1HrKnFnuNyCSi64oTs2rctk7BKPlIdMFonKABFYzII8r_BYRoRP_mOkD1MdX-vgMfQ1XI0rPDwTtWEyeIqfw5rZofIj8ow=w400-h306" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Joe Adams, a former soldier, </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">has shot a man, and then refuses to open the door to the police, instead shooting at them through the door.

Henry Fonda has a lot more dialogue to explain what's going on inside his head, taking away some of the imagination required, and Barbara Bel Geddes, in her first screen role, narrates an extended sequence explaining thoroughly her relationship with Maximillian. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Vincent Price is as entertaining as ever, hamming it up in the role of charlatan, and Ann Dvorak is comparable to Arletty, though she maintained a safe distance from Henry Fonda in the bedroom scene, lest we think there was a possibility that they were doing more than drinking beer and snacking on pretzels. The Hollywood ending is less powerful than the punch-in-the-gut ending of the French version. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">The sets in this film have the same visual style as the French version, which makes it interesting to compare the two.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

I first saw this movie in 2010, after having seen Gabin in <i><b>Port of Shadows</b></i> and Arletty in <i><b>Children of Paradise</b></i>, which made me want to see more of their work. I love the brooding, doomed dirge that plays at the beginning of the film, which leaves no hope that the situation will end well. There are some nice shots to appreciate in this film, and if you enjoy film noir, you owe it to yourself to check this one out, as well as the American adaptation I will be watching tomorrow.</span></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Drunken hilarity ensues until The Boy follows his sleepwalking love interest out on the ledge of a high building and takes a tumble. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEirJjupCnEIIQk5AXCdUclQrDZ7Kmtnrf0COeQM7eSTj1AKV-11m-yuzInd-laGDtP3KUdN_-LqkEeo-_kyNoDrJnBO5JYRv62bWPb5xG8H9ExOa39o6t71eucXGwPLI0sEF5ZBhuROzsAq8JzmoD8UmmSE27I4JurQcrFsifGM0reJl2ThaDozfNVUCA=s1388" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1026" data-original-width="1388" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEirJjupCnEIIQk5AXCdUclQrDZ7Kmtnrf0COeQM7eSTj1AKV-11m-yuzInd-laGDtP3KUdN_-LqkEeo-_kyNoDrJnBO5JYRv62bWPb5xG8H9ExOa39o6t71eucXGwPLI0sEF5ZBhuROzsAq8JzmoD8UmmSE27I4JurQcrFsifGM0reJl2ThaDozfNVUCA=w400-h296" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I love the illustrated intertitles in this short, especially when they are denoting drunken action, and the double vision scene was pretty impressively filmed. The way Harold Lloyd throws his body around is fun to watch, though seeing him nearly fall off a building was somewhat anxiety inducing. It's an entertaining film to provide brief respite from the daily toils and tribulations. </span></div></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

While Mary struggles to overcome bias against female doctors, Don quickly loses interest in the hard work doctoring requires, and decides to marry a politician's daughter to get ahead, with no consideration for his relationship with Mary. They have a falling out after Mary has to take over during a surgery Don is too intoxicated to perform, and she moves on to develop her own esteemed pediatric practice, while still harboring feelings for him. She reconnects with Don while on vacation and they spend a romantic evening together, which results in a pregnancy. When Don's wife refuses to divorce him because her father wants to avoid scandal, Mary decides to go abroad to have the baby and then adopt it to avoid a scandal that would negatively impact her practice. All goes as planned until her baby contracts infantile paralysis (aka polio) on the voyage home.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsFmvS83tn87qrp4wNzBz9stvH1W5IuIMKVtPL_tQ-o9v_tbAWZqLl38PIQGjDXSeRVuK_R5ZcvLW0VDuJtMOz9NaruXr2FB1hU8b1brLscCRpM7OPON69NkM8XaSBBaarnU6-dvs4VbZvVq_EORMQlpncPwiZP4Rt09jDcunKhealg-Raf4pw6H1NWw/s1494/Screen Shot 2022-02-07 at 8.58.06 PM.png" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1078" data-original-width="1494" height="289" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsFmvS83tn87qrp4wNzBz9stvH1W5IuIMKVtPL_tQ-o9v_tbAWZqLl38PIQGjDXSeRVuK_R5ZcvLW0VDuJtMOz9NaruXr2FB1hU8b1brLscCRpM7OPON69NkM8XaSBBaarnU6-dvs4VbZvVq_EORMQlpncPwiZP4Rt09jDcunKhealg-Raf4pw6H1NWw/w400-h289/Screen Shot 2022-02-07 at 8.58.06 PM.png" width="400" /></a></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">"Nothing's guaranteed to break up friendship like giving advice." </span></h4><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8T73FM3M-PvQcmJJTD3c6kU0af7Nbuq6fA1CceDBT2Gf_Hy6WA5Bm5kzd9UVByuFyWuIbUt2KuXw2AyoEY98AyYNOE6DJ4YEykc7I6D9Ufu-vkNK5GYP00EHArbiWUs8Fv6YYuHMZTDay278U0rSbTs12mmzgkU6KBumYFCwV4SmbWq-H5xuIHIvICg/s1484/Screen Shot 2022-02-07 at 8.56.50 PM.png" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1484" height="291" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8T73FM3M-PvQcmJJTD3c6kU0af7Nbuq6fA1CceDBT2Gf_Hy6WA5Bm5kzd9UVByuFyWuIbUt2KuXw2AyoEY98AyYNOE6DJ4YEykc7I6D9Ufu-vkNK5GYP00EHArbiWUs8Fv6YYuHMZTDay278U0rSbTs12mmzgkU6KBumYFCwV4SmbWq-H5xuIHIvICg/w400-h291/Screen Shot 2022-02-07 at 8.56.50 PM.png" width="400" /></a></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Dr. Mary seems pretty smart except when it comes to men.

When Mable discovers that Edmund has gone for a third helping on the side at her daughter's expense, she tries to buy Jeanne's freedom.

Since I have no prior experience with Feuillade and have not yet seen <b><i>Judex</i></b> or <b><i>Fantômas</i></b>, I wasn't sure whether to expect the criminals or the investigators to be victorious. I liked that the title of this episode had me guessing whose wedding would be the bloody one, and </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">for a short time I wondered if Mazamette and the widow would have the bloody wedding, once it was established early on that Philippe and Jane were already married</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">. I should have anticipated Irma Vep would be hooking up with Vénénos after being passed hand to hand from one Grand Vampire to the next. I had sort of hoped she might take over as Grand Vampire herself at some point in the series. I could imagine a present day remake that continues the series with Irma Vep surviving the gunshot, starting her own crime syndicate, and exacting revenge on Philippe and Mazamette in unending, torturous ways.

I'm not sure what to expect. </div></span></div></div></div>Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04594017640571724035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8255483657639656300.post-57916444441045799672022-01-24T20:00:00.454-08:002022-01-30T12:13:27.702-08:00365 Days: #24 Les Vampires Episode 8: The Lord of Thunder (1916)<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">How many minutes into this episode will it take for Irma Vep and Moréno to break out of jail?</span></p><h2 style="text-align: center;">#24 Les Vampires Episode 8: The Lord of Thunder</h2><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhqDGS6uxplDw4idUBzTyPsbpVPx8g7-XVYIOOQeNryDGSurtvnmSs8F-MDxIDEpMrFvmeyp2tp5d1W-jWMHTQzWedz26pWiFc0zOwaZ-eUjAjUilKagHeAEygogOha1Ip7gU5-oJO9xHftmSm7gJjJsXkTR-K4exVCx8W7M4ZG7z0kWXN7vLGXOkT4zA=s1402" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1030" data-original-width="1402" height="294" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhqDGS6uxplDw4idUBzTyPsbpVPx8g7-XVYIOOQeNryDGSurtvnmSs8F-MDxIDEpMrFvmeyp2tp5d1W-jWMHTQzWedz26pWiFc0zOwaZ-eUjAjUilKagHeAEygogOha1Ip7gU5-oJO9xHftmSm7gJjJsXkTR-K4exVCx8W7M4ZG7z0kWXN7vLGXOkT4zA=w400-h294" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Irma Vep has been sentenced to life in prison and is doing time at Saint-Lazare.

He hands out leaflets and Irma recognizes him as he hands her one. She quickly deciphers the coded message within, instructing her to jump overboard. Satanas indicates that she should blow on the note, and when she does, a secret message is revealed, telling her to pretend to have a sprain when she boards the ship so she can be taken to the infirmary at the rear, since there will be an explosion at the front. It further states to come to Paris if she escapes, noting she'd prefer death to life imprisonment if she is unable to get free. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiIiu9fwN3UYNIVYCSxou7FelziDz7nQEaPgpoHn3DLTAtSWIhb4v0XkmV_pJRWrL6WxEuO0V_Wr__H08of9tm7S40EiCeScmLofQPS63HRztp2CNeJw9Dyjg9lL7Z38m1dfkP6wMvnWLf2AaY1ziAcZm_52Pd4riZBEnLN8D1a1UUSemx9nWfyFfhPyA=s1404" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1038" data-original-width="1404" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiIiu9fwN3UYNIVYCSxou7FelziDz7nQEaPgpoHn3DLTAtSWIhb4v0XkmV_pJRWrL6WxEuO0V_Wr__H08of9tm7S40EiCeScmLofQPS63HRztp2CNeJw9Dyjg9lL7Z38m1dfkP6wMvnWLf2AaY1ziAcZm_52Pd4riZBEnLN8D1a1UUSemx9nWfyFfhPyA=w400-h296" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Inside Father Joachim's room, the assistant is removing cannon parts from the trunk and setting it up as Irma Vep and the prisoners are taken to the ship.

Eustache gives his word that they'll have those Vampires yet.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgXGsWnVDwUZvvWel-VQOGSm6hexmUrahY_vbIUu1715cnYx64RPkywBw7pyE3WqsWZ6CHti0kD7EWIzA8AuU0ypgkRAvC8Lr1TmoIxdDsYeMqeGNRz5vIuvHLGC9MeJiXGvGRYvGpxx8hVU_CAowHl2Zo8b3KeFslt6U_Sk4DY7n-bwN92V5s01wMVeg=s1392" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1016" data-original-width="1392" height="293" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgXGsWnVDwUZvvWel-VQOGSm6hexmUrahY_vbIUu1715cnYx64RPkywBw7pyE3WqsWZ6CHti0kD7EWIzA8AuU0ypgkRAvC8Lr1TmoIxdDsYeMqeGNRz5vIuvHLGC9MeJiXGvGRYvGpxx8hVU_CAowHl2Zo8b3KeFslt6U_Sk4DY7n-bwN92V5s01wMVeg=w400-h293" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I was glad to see reference to the Red Cryptogram, since it seemed that important find had been forgotten. I don't know that we needed to see a repeat of the Vampire dance, but it was a nice throwback to the introduction of Irma Vep. After Moréno's presumed jailhouse death in Episode 5, it's hard not to wonder if Satanas has just pulled the same stunt. Either way, I wonder if Irma Vep will take over as Grand Vampire before the end of the series. Little Mazamette may end up stealing the show. He was a nice addition to this episode.<span style="text-align: center;"> Incidentally, how hard is it to determine from where a cannon has been fired? I would think that would be loud enough to make it easy to tell.</span></div></span></div></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04594017640571724035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8255483657639656300.post-75006334654603678062022-01-23T20:00:00.434-08:002022-01-29T20:52:20.419-08:00365 Days: #23 Les Vampires Episode 7: Satanas (1916)<p> <span style="font-family: verdana;">Who will lead the Vampires now that Irma Vep has shot the Grand Vampire?</span></p><h2 style="text-align: center;">#23 Les Vampires Episode 7: Satanas</h2><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The body of the Grand Vampire is in a trunk at Moréno's mansion.

Moréno gives Irma a gun and tells her to kill the man who is coming. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgDNUp5szdq-HBZGvnujAX95Dc8BTtuyL5Oj2T9RgJQa2SadGRYqmy5DSLZLsMEhXPq0APf0Bx2weMpKuAZrroV20WKuUj43sxf3XGy3M-8-Trsgp4IrQxlb8lRvttfIbvqLT77iMv2vZ0tBNydbtuNGFUIaSs1PT8tkr3ZTMzWqTRamckrrpxVxJgIKQ=s1414" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1042" data-original-width="1414" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgDNUp5szdq-HBZGvnujAX95Dc8BTtuyL5Oj2T9RgJQa2SadGRYqmy5DSLZLsMEhXPq0APf0Bx2weMpKuAZrroV20WKuUj43sxf3XGy3M-8-Trsgp4IrQxlb8lRvttfIbvqLT77iMv2vZ0tBNydbtuNGFUIaSs1PT8tkr3ZTMzWqTRamckrrpxVxJgIKQ=w400-h295" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhm9Cuc6XvM1a3OGDKfISpzLlwfisVdv6RNr7So5ybSiraGWwXMORdReEoWJy4swbkzg76ss4CcboYOdxNtSy8P2vtbpIYc6SJoRE1EenYS4iPDsdfIDvL2srWmRmQq0_O7Ck0oX8FWGcLyS6XQJnW84zqZbfB3GBoCyh7XK1we9Wh6ovsVHeNCoXPWhA=s1412" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1044" data-original-width="1412" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhm9Cuc6XvM1a3OGDKfISpzLlwfisVdv6RNr7So5ybSiraGWwXMORdReEoWJy4swbkzg76ss4CcboYOdxNtSy8P2vtbpIYc6SJoRE1EenYS4iPDsdfIDvL2srWmRmQq0_O7Ck0oX8FWGcLyS6XQJnW84zqZbfB3GBoCyh7XK1we9Wh6ovsVHeNCoXPWhA=w400-h296" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The Count says that he has come for Irma, but Moréno tells him she doesn't want to go and she wants to tell him herself.

He was captured by two rival gangs and ended up escaping both. He didn't prevent a crime, but prevented the perpetrators from enjoying the spoils. I like how the audience was led to believe that the Vampires would gas a room full of people to death and pick over them like vultures. I wonder why we didn't get to see them discover that they got ripped off by Moréno. Perhaps more will unfold between these two gangs of criminals in the next episode. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04594017640571724035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8255483657639656300.post-85964793654743791432022-01-20T20:00:00.321-08:002022-01-28T19:46:06.543-08:00365 Days: #20 Les Vampires Episode 4: The Spectre (1916)<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">What evil will those nasty Vampires be up to in today's episode? </span></p><h2 style="text-align: center;">#20 Les Vampires Episode 4: The Spectre</h2><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhHuIF-7zi-kq-S81Uqp6MhlKKoBhgIb92Ukn2AjsAo57AlcoFf0aj58kQQg31pO2GsgC2EepiyEWLxm2pywA_df1HQQEtTFmdjuWCPo193mqlxuamZiVnfq7IpijO5YQtaCrjisYxS296HCuGfGLomWea-9wBiZH9u9jnzmMj0RkTHMRP-ErFAnDc51w=s1406" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1034" data-original-width="1406" height="294" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhHuIF-7zi-kq-S81Uqp6MhlKKoBhgIb92Ukn2AjsAo57AlcoFf0aj58kQQg31pO2GsgC2EepiyEWLxm2pywA_df1HQQEtTFmdjuWCPo193mqlxuamZiVnfq7IpijO5YQtaCrjisYxS296HCuGfGLomWea-9wBiZH9u9jnzmMj0RkTHMRP-ErFAnDc51w=w400-h294" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Grand Vampire is posing as real estate agent, Monsieur Treps, when businessman, Juan-José Moréno arrives at his office to get help finding an apartment with a safe.
