I like the story about Orson Welles turning up on the set of Citizen Kane without much of an idea what to do, so Gregg Toland made him go away and watch Stagecoach. Welles did just that and came back the next day (I think) and rewrote accepted cinematic grammar.

Linda (1981, Jess Fanco) Sleaze abounds in this tale of siblings gone awry and redemption (really?). If you have the Kinks song Two Sisters, tells you all you need to know haha. Witch Who Came In From The Sea (Matt Cimber, 1976) Like Ms 45, if Mike Leigh had directed it , this rather flat and torrid (great trick to pull off) tale of recovered memories and revenge was well worth the wait, recommended! Though to whom, I'm nae sure.... What Have They Done To Your Daughters? (1974, Massimo Dallamando) Ferman would have had kittens with this one. Nasty. Little. Film. Must get the Shameless release as this was a fairly poor print cough cough.

I sure do Nos, and I revisited it a few weeks ago (on the back of Ken Burns' monumental series The West). Incredible film. The Criterion Stagecoach comes with another Ford Silent as an extra, this one a short 4-reeler so must grab a screening of that as well...

BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE. Damn, I don't watch this for a while and ALMOST forget how good this film is. I shan't bother with a synopsis for a film i'm betting everyone here has seen, suffice to say it was as thrilling to watch the good quality VCI blu-ray as the first time i'd seen it. The supurb soundtrack, excellent editing and cinematography and the genuinely suspenseful scenes (the 'yellow raincoats' the scene with suzy kendall being terrorized and the climactic scene in the killers apartment are all standouts) It's almost impossible to equate this standout piece of cinema with the same filmmaker that delivered sub-standard dross like Dracula 3d and Giallo. I'm thinking I need to get back to the old days where I watched this film once every six months or so and i'm definately feeling in the mood to start an Argento marathon sometime soon.
