The Projectionist Presents: Powell, Right In The Kisser! The Night of the Party (1935)
Just can't resist more of these Powells before Pressburgers, and what we've
got here is another Gaumont British goodie folks. And it's a partridge in
a Pertwee - it's the patriarch of the Pertwee's - Roland, (daddy of chips
of the ol, block Jon
and Michael), who penned this. And what does the radar know about this
one? Not much - but I do - and it's an irresistible little yarn
that starreth Ian Hunter and Leslie Banks - he sure liked dem fellars!
And if you like it, more Powell to ya!
Violated (1953) A scissor-happy sadist is really just looking for love in all the wrong places in this gritty low-budgeter that will leave you reeling with its real New York location shots, eastside, westside all about the town style. Relatively unknowns are on cast duty.
Oh that spurious shrink, he's been stepping out on the missus and now he wants to maybe rub her out as well. Ivan Goff who penned many a Friday night intrigue, gets the quill rockin' for this long lost number. that stars Christopher Lee, Judy Geeson and Jon Finch - Diagnosis : Murder
The one Wiseman, who at 86 years young is still doing the cinema verite Charleston, and here is one of his key moments as a director of direct cinema; one of the most influential in the filmmaking technique and here he boldly goes where (mostly) everyone has gone before - back to high school, but no Oh Sandy's and greased lightnings here. Its' High School (1968) and the school in query is Philadelphia's Northeast High. They threatened to sue his trousers off for this, but that was just pants really.
More sweetasssssss silver-screen action, it's the Blaxploitation Buffet. Jim Kelly stars in Hot
Potato, and he will drop you like one if you don't dig yerself. Preach!
Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne and all their wicket ways in this Gainsborough goodie, which was on of the last for the studios before Rank's occupation. It's Not Cricket (1949)
This presentation is living proof that the pen is mightier, oh such mightier than
the sword, oh if walls could only talk, the stories it could tell about my Papermate
