New Scotland Yard: Fire in a Honey Pot (1.8, LWT, 1972)
"You make it sound very convincing."
"I beg your pardon?"
"Your Mr. Logan was seen at the club on the afternoon before it burnt."
"Oh, now, don't ask me what could have taken him there, to a place like that."
"You mean you've never heard of the protection business?"
"Isn't that what you're in?"

Woodvine's love of gardening comes up again and even allows#him to hoodwink a suspect (in an entirely legal but morally dubious way). a bit of a minor entry i think‚ it's just a little silly#and distracted. also once again I am asking why a cop as senior as Woodvine is on thr ground investigating p much every crime he finds

so I just watched phantom lady and took like sixty screenshots because I loved all the outfits and of course they didn't save.
and, um, if I ever had a boss who looked like Alan Curtis I'd definitely be happy to have dinner with him every night.

Alan Curtis Quantified
Alan Curtis (Harold Ueberroth, 1909-1953) was well on the way to some kind of lasting stardom when a bad reaction to a routine kidney operation took him at age 43. Despite a somewhat forgettable name and visage, he had attained leading man status and was in some well remembered Hollywood movies. Curtis started out as a male model in print ads in the Chicago area. By 1936 he was getting bit parts…

“And that performance then begat a movie called Love Actually. It was conceived when the movie director [Richard Curtis] put that cut of “Both Sides Now” on and much to his surprise, he was crying. It caught him off guard. And so he built a whole movie around it, “Love Actually.’”—Joni Mitchell, 2012.

Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (1972)
"Come children, Uncle Alan's going to curdle your blood."
"Uncle Alan already does. Turns my stomach, too."
#children shouldn't play with dead things#1972#horror imagery#horror film#bob clark#american cinema#alan ormsby#valerie mamches#jeff gillen#anya ormsby#paul cronin#jane daly#roy engleman#robert philip#bruce solomon#alecs baird#seth sklarey#bob sherman#curtis bryant#carl zittrer#a pretty rough and ready indie horror film about a theatre troupe who fuck around with the occult (and‚ naturally‚ find out)#this hasn't a whole lot to recommend it on its own merits; it's most interesting as a formative work by filmmaker Clark‚ his first stab at#the horror genre. juat a few years later Clark would helm the superlative Black Christmas‚ sincerely one of the greatest slasher#films ever made‚ but Children... is if anything a testament to just how much his style progressed in a short span. there are moments here#that pack a visual punch‚ tbf‚ and once the dead begin to rise it improves considerably. anything with the impressive looking 'Orville'#corpse (third and final pics above) is great. the problem is more in the script‚ cowritten with star and frequent Clark collaborator Ormsby#it's a turgid mess‚ with an hour of bitchy bickering between the theatre group before anything really happens. there's some great snark in#there and it's pretty entertaining at first‚ but my god does it go on (and on) until you're willing the zombies to tear everyone to shreds#in the zombie canon this has obvious debts to Romero's NotLD as well as more traditional folklore‚ but its emphasis stays frustratingly on#the unlikeable characters and their incidental conversations rather than exploring anything more interesting.
