|    Fantastic Classics - Day of the Double F    |
|    19 Mar 17 22:13:41    |
      From: jack.bohn64@gmail.com              A feast of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, arranged into two by two       according to matching themes.              It begins very early Tuesday morning with "Westworld" and "2001" -- apparently       chosen for its robots in revolt segment.              Then follows mad scientists experimenting on themselves with "Dr. Jekyll and       Mr. Hyde" (1932) and "The Invisible Man" (1933). J&H is interesting in being       one of the "classic" monsters Universal didn't make a straight horror film of,       though Abbott and        Costello met them. Universal might have gotten the rights to this movie when       they acquired what IMDb calls "over 700," (including "The Island of Lost       Souls" and "Death Takes a Holiday", and generally the Marx Brothers) but       Paramount had already sold it        to MGM in 1941 when they made their Jekyll and Hyde film.              The schedule drifts into other subjects, coming back to "The Little Shop of       Horrors" and "The Birds", and I always wonder if the petshop bird is a clue,       but I can't work it out.              Then it's the motherlode Thursday and Friday. Primetime begins with "Gojira"       -- the name applied to the original Godzilla movie when it's the Japanese and       not the American version with Raymond Burr -- and the original "King Kong".              Then "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"/"The Thing from Another World"       "The X from Outer Space"/"20 Million Miles to Earth"       "Nosferatu"/"The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" for German Expressionism.       "The Wolf Man"/"The Cat People" revival of Universal horror and RKO's response.       Then Universal's first cycle of horror and Hammer's first period with:       "Horror of Dracula" (1958), "Frankenstein" (1931), "The Mummy" (1932), and       "The Gorgon" (1964).       "The Wizard of Oz"/"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King"       and       "A Clockwork Orange"/"Soylent Green"              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
