‘A friend,’ recalls director Jerzy Skolimowski, ‘told me a story about a diamond that was lost for ever after being dropped in snow. I thought: “But you could grab the snow, melt it and get it back.” It seemed a great idea for a film.’ #film #cinema #70s #1970s #movies #DeepEnd #DianaDors #JaneAsher #JerzySkolimowski #BFI

Wait, there's a #JoanCrawford film set in a circus?...and of all people it also has #DianaDors?
"Berserk! is a 1967 British horror-thriller film starring Joan Crawford, Ty Hardin, Diana Dors and Judy Geeson"... "in a macabre mother-daughter tale about a circus plagued with murders." 🤣
Bonus points for the exclamation mark in the film title

Hello everyone. I am new to Mastodon so please bear with me 😀

I thought I'd share a little what I'm listening to, reading or watching and perhaps share some of my life to connect with lovely like-minded souls along the way.

This is what I'm currently reading: Anna Cale's biography of the spectacular Diana Dors.

#DianaDors

Room 43 (AKA Passport to Shame), a nicely sleazy 1958 British crime thriller about white slavery. Diana Dors stars.

There’s an amusing drug/dream sequence, a fascinating piece of psychedelia before anyone knew what psychedelia was.

An overheated sex and sin melodrama with style and fine performances and it works. It’s sleazy and romantic and thoroughly enjoyable in a slightly disreputable way.

My review: https://dfordoom-movieramblings.blogspot.com/2020/06/room-43-1958.html
