One of the Patreons I support is Romancing The - an indie online education project. Anyway, they've got a *free* talk on Films tomorrow, at 10am and 7pm UK time (two slots so people from all around the world can take part; I'll be watching the 7pm one) and I thought I'd mention it in case anyone fancies it.

Found a box of my old stuff in the attic. Whilst my schoolmates were reading Smash Hits, I was dealing in these beauties! 🃏

March 19: Going through automatic doors on

Joseph 's The Damned (1962) starts out as your conventional, lurid, early counterculture affair.

An American tourist visiting is tricked by a prostitute, then falls victim to a youth gang controlled by King, a still very green Oliver Reed at his meanest. The trickster is King's sister, who confides in the American hoping to escape her brother's incestuous avances. They elope to a nearby island, closely followed by King and his gang, where they find a group of , all contently living in an underground lab, with only they can control. These are the damned.

"I feel thrilled that people actually bothered to go and see the films, that they put their bums on the seat to watch a bit of my work, that I’ve entertained a few people. I’m proud of that!”

The British “Bond Girl,” star, and genre icon is 74 today.

Sorry to learn that , the charismatic English actor, has passed. Memorable in British films of the 60s and 70s, notably as the evil Count Mitterhaus in Hammer's glorious Vampire Circus (1972) and Mark E. De Sade, the seductive procurer of young women for Pete Walker's House of Whipcord (1974).
