The Great Gaboo (1929)
Based on “The Rival Dummy” by Ben Hecht, The Great Gaboo was released as an “all-dialog singing, dancing and dramatic spectacle” with huge musical numbers that stand in stark contrast to the plot and often stop the film’s pace cold. There was even a scene shot in color, “The Ga Ga Bird”, which is missing from […]
Junesploitation 2021: Motorama (1991)
June 25: Junesploitation’s topic of the day — as suggested by F This Movie — is a car movie. A ten-year-old runaway boy named Gus has left behind an abusive home to go out on the road in a stolen ‘66 Ford Mustang that he drives with stilts attached to the gas pedals. His goal is […]

Directed by Bernard L. Kowalski and written by Hal Dresner (Zorro the Gay Blade) and Daniel C. Striepeke (who also […]
The Woman Hunter (1972)
The Woman Hunter has an all-star cast, with Barbara Eden in the lead, alongside Stuart Whitman, Larry Storch and Robert Vaughn. Like I said — it’s what I say is an all-star cast. Most Giallo heroines are characterized by their wealth and potential mental issues. However, in The Woman Hunter, when Dina Hunter (Eden) survives […]
