Mill Creek Through the Decades: 1970s Collection: Fun With Dick and Jane (1977)
Dick and Jane Harper (George Segal and Jane Fonda) were living the American dream, but when Dick’s aerospace job got liquidated due to the fuzzy accounting of his boss Charlie Blanchard (Ed McMahon, and if you think I’m not doing a week of movies that Ed was in, you don’t know me) and have to […]
Mill Creek Through the Decades: 1970s Collection: Dollars (1971)
You know, I’ve never really liked Warren Beatty and then this movie — and several others on the Through the Decades: 1960s Collection like Lilith and Mickey One — totally changed my mind. A Hamburg, West Germany bank has privacy laws that are quite favorable to an entire rogue’s gallery of criminals who need a place to keep […]

[…]
JESS FRANCO MONTH: A Virgin Among the Living Dead (1973)
Originally filmed as La nuit des étoiles filantes (The Night of the Shooting Stars), Jess Franco felt that this movie was one of his favorites and he even appears as Basilio, a man who wanders the movie speaking to a chicken’s head, and his wife Nicole Guettard is also on hand as a nurse. But then, […]
JESS FRANCO MONTH: Marquis de Sade: Justine (1969)
After The Blood of Fu Manchu, producer Harry Alan Towers and Jess Franco wanted to make a more adult film and this movie was the result, made with a million dollar budget, which isn’t much for some people but would be one of Franco’s largest budgets. There were still some issues, like how Rosemary Dexter […]
JESS FRANCO MONTH: The Blood of Fu Manchu (1968)

The fourth movie in the Fu Manchu series produced by Harry Alan Towers, this movie finds Jess Franco pulling off an amazing movie: […]
