VHS : Nyoka and the Tigermen
A compilation of a "chapter movie" that I saw on successive Saturday afternoons growing up in New York in the 40s. Perhaps, even at that early age, I was fascinated by the idea of an attractive, long-legged heroine and a similarly fascinating villainess. A cute, if implausible, adventure tale, set in North Africa, which today would seem almost a parody, but I'm enjoying the trip down memory lane which it's affording me at not too high a cost. One of the "bad guys" is an Italian, so identified, possibly because they were part of the Axis, w/ which we were (or were about to be) at war but not the object of pathetic ridicule that Italians became in the war movies that followed.

VHS : Good Neighbor Sam
GOOD NEIGHBOR Sam is a strangely neglected American sex comedy of the 1960s, with Jack Lemmon, an actor I otherwise can do without, but here he strikes me as an accomplished farceur with more bite to him than most male stars of his day. He has attitude; he might have appeared in ZOOLANDER with that edge. Here he was a fairly good part as a sculptor who works during the day way down the ladder at a San Francisco ad agency--it's a very MAD MEN office, but more authentic in some ways, and the scenes of the admen exchanging dispirited glances at their busty, uninterested secretarial staff has the MAD MEN motif down pat. I suppose casting Lemmon in this part must have been a calculated move on the parts of the producers to recall his work in Billy Wilder's famous film of THE APARTMENT, but kick me out of cineaste ...

VHS : Spy Smasher
The old-time movie serials should never be judged by the same criteria of other films, even those made at the same time period. The serials were invariably outrageous, over-the-top, often ridiculous. But unlike Adam West's `Batman' the serials were never self-conscious or deliberately campy. Although many serials featured a mildly humorous characters such as Jimmy Olsen or Whitey Whitney to provide occasional comic relief, on the whole, the actors and directors played everything straight and extremely earnest, no matter how absurd the situation or the scene. They did their best at every test.

The old movie serials were made with practically zero budget and at a forced-march pace, shooting in two days what would take 6 months under modern conditions. Those factors, combined with the primitive special ... Read More
