WHAT
KEEPS YOU GOING ?

Okay,
I know this is the internet, and it's tempting to skip
to the end (I do it all the time),
but,
if you haven't seen these films, you'll get the most
out of them by watching from the
beginning
and all the way through ... or just save them for the next
time you visit that
wholemeal friend
in
the countryside who refuses to own a TV,
or
the next time you take a
long, boring train journey.
Saw
this TV movie in the 80s and was bowled over by it.
Took
a while to find it, especially as I had somehow thought
it was Italian.
Unusual
fare from Franco's Spain
(34 Minutes)
American
viewers might be more familiar with this, but it's shown
very rarely in the UK.
(1
Hour, 44 Minutes)
Quite
a few films of this period had quite a subversive edge,
which I love ...
See
also Sullivan's Travels (1941), Time, Gentlemen, Please
! (1952) and,
of
course, the classic Day The Earth Stood Still (1951)
P.s:
I usually re-process films and have them play in a new
tab in 720p resolution,
but
it takes quite a long time and I'm feeling unusually
lazy at the moment -
maybe
later ...
