Pink Panther

feeds@yuku.com (lobo67) — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 15:15:24 GMT

Hi,

Maybe not technically a "spy", the farce films of Chief Inspecter Clousseau with Peter Sellers do fit in with what most "spy" movies are like. Any fans of these here?

Years ago I picked up the 1st Pink Panther dvd at a Family Dollar for 5 bucks. In the last few days, with the Big Lots special for 3 bucks each, I went on and bought them all up.

At first I only wanted the Sellers movies, as I am unfamiliar with the others, and am a fan of...

THE QUILLER MEMORANDUM

feeds@yuku.com (Latarnia) — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 14:38:38 GMT

I try to like this film, but despite the catchy John Barry music, George Segal's offbeat performance, and some atmospheric Berlin location shooting, this one always misses the mark with me. I blame screenwriter Harold Pinter.

DEVIL MAY CARE, the new James Bond novel

feeds@yuku.com (Latarnia) — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 05:58:50 GMT

On May 28 the new James Bond novel, DEVIL MAY CARE, gets released. Authored by Sebastion Faulks, "writing as Ian Fleming," the novel promises to bring back the "Fleming effect" and places Bond back in the time period of the original Fleming novels.

The publisher is preparing an audio book, and a song will be selected to introduce the reading. Here are the five contenders you can vote for:

Kriminal

I recently was able to purchase "Kriminal" and "Mask of Kriminal" from Xploited Cinema. They have been unavailable for a while and just recently were listed for purchase.

My main reason was because the lovely Helga Line` stars in both. Although they are in Italian without English subs, I loved them. They are fairly easy to follow. Great 60's type music and beautiful locations...and Helga, well, need I go on? And they are just fun, fun, fun.

Hopefully...

This looks pretty good and predates the Bond films by a number of years:

THE MAN WHO SAVED BRITAIN

feeds@yuku.com (Elsasaysarf) — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 09:34:12 GMT

While this probably should be in PAGES OF PLEASURE, I just canvased one of the most wretched non-fiction books I have encountered in easily 12 months.

THE MAN WHO SAVED BRITAIN: A PERSONAL JOURNEY INTO THE DISTURBING WORLD OF JAMES BOND by Simon Winder. If one wants to understand both where the current CASINO ROYALE came from and the motivations behinds its cadres, one need go no further than this book. A venemous poison pen to everything James Bond--and I mean everything!! England...

Pinoy James Bonds

Here's a *wonderful* website with posters and admats for a bunch of James Bond rip-offs made in the Phillipines in the 60s. This is why the internet exists.

5 FINGERS

5 FINGERS (1952) ****

A valet, during World War II, working for the British Ambassador in neutral Turkey sells top secret documents to the Germans. James Mason is perfect as the valet (codename: Cicero) seeking the life of a rich gentleman with a disgraced Countess (Danielle Darrieux). He does by striking a deal with the Germans in exchange for information that is most secret, top secret. It seems simple enough. The plot is set for white knuckled twists and turns that are laced with...

FANTASTIC ARGOMAN

I just stumbled unto this, via the Substance DVD. Haven't seen it all yet, but so far, it's very fun.

Roger Browne is Sir Reginald Hoover, a.k.a. Argoman , an international superhero with psychic powers,which are also very convenient for homing in on sexy women, who doesn't fight for money or power,only asking for unique items that catch his attention.

The transfer appears to come from VHS, with nice colours that I'm sure would look gorgeous on a newer transfer. It's also...

From Cinema Retro:

Cinema Retro has just learned some exciting news about the UNCLE DVD set: it will be released this fall and will be available only through Time Life, which will market the set as it did for Get Smart! This means the entire series will be immediately available and sold in one large box set. The advantage of this is that fans won't have to worry that the fate of subsequent seasons depends upon...

A DANDY IN ASPIC, Anthony Mann's last film, and a Eurospy flick involving a double-agent (Laurence Harvey) whose assignment is to eliminate himself, came out recently in Region 2, I guess, as xploited just put it up...I've never seen it, but will order it sight unseen...Mia Farrow costars (in a smallish part, I've heard), Quincy Jones does the music, and the film is shot on location in London and Berlin, so that along with the Mann factor (he died during production, though!) is enough to get...

Lots of Mcfarland books are overpriced episode guides, but this book is incredible, nearly 450 (!) pages offering a full history of the show, detailed reviews of each episode, nielsen ratings for the episodes discussions of where Cosby and Culp ad-libbed changes to the...

ESPIONAGE IN TANGIERS (1966)

feeds@yuku.com (Latarnia) — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 09:44:54 GMT
Doubled on a new Dark Sky DVD with ASSASSINATION IN ROME, ESPIONAGE IN TANGIERS (1966) has been noted as offering the screen debut of George Lazenby. According to the IMDB, Lazenby's role is a mystery as the film has thus far been offered on video in a cut version, about 60 minutes in length. The assumption is that the complete film, running over 90 minutes in length, will reveal Lazenby someplace.

Well, the Dark Sky widescreen presentation does present the complete film, and Lazenby...
