Contact: [email protected] Help! (Capitol, 11.6.2007) Once upon a time, boys and girls, there were these mopheads from Liverpool. They made these songs that made everybody happy. Then these men in suits said, “There’s even more gold in them thar boys.” And a movie was begat real fast cause everybody knew they were flashes in the pan. An American expatriate, Richard Lester, was chosen to make it because he had made It’s Trad, Dad! and knew all about quickly fading musical fads. And behold, A Hard Day’s Night was a masterpiece, and everybody was very, very happy. And the suits said, “Dick, do it again,” and Help! was born. It also made people happy, but it is not a masterpiece. Somewhere in the mysterious East, Clang (Leo McKern) is about to sacrifice a virgin when he discovers the would-be victim has sent the required sacrificial ring to Ringo Starr, famous jewelry fetishist. So Clang, his men, and the lovely Ahme (Eleanor Bron) head for London to get the ring back. Ringo is willing to give it up but can’t get it off, so the boys seek the help of Foot (Victor Spinetti), a mad scientist, and Algernon (Roy Kinnear), his bumbling assistant.

  • H6910 HOW I WON the WAR (GREAT BRITAIN, 1967) (Other Titles: Comment, J’Ai Gagne La Guerre)
    H6910 HOW I WON THE WAR (GREAT BRITAIN, 1967) (Other titles: Comment, j’ai gagne la guerre) Credits: director, Richard Lester ; writer, Charles Wood ; novel, Patrick Ryan. Cast: Michael Crawford, John Lennon, Roy Kinnear, Lee Montague. Summary: War/comedy set in North Africa and Europe during WWII. Lt. Ernest Goodbody (Crawford), a middle-aged British veteran of WWII reminisces about his triumphs in the British Army. His warm memories, however, belie the realities of a disastrous career leading one of the worst units in the British Army. According to Michael Lanning (below), Vietnam provided the motivation for this anti-war, anti-officer, anti-military film. Vietnam is mentioned at film’s end when one soldier asks another: “There’s a new war shaping up in Vietnam; do you think you’ll be in it?” The second soldier responds “No, I don’t like the director.” Armstrong, Marion. “Savage satire” Christian century 85 (Jan 24, 1968), p. 117-18.

  • Nothing but the Night
    Talking Pictures TV www.talkingpicturestv.co.uk Highlights for week beginning SKY 328 | FREEVIEW 81 Mon 20th January 2020 FREESAT 306 | VIRGIN 445 Nothing But The Night on Talking Pictures TV Starring: Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, this chilling tale of murder in an isolated Scottish orphanage features a brilliant cast, including: Diana Dors, Georgia Brown, Keith Barron, Gwyneth Strong, Fulton Mackay, Michael Gambon and Kathleen Byron. Christopher Lee co-produced the film, which was directed by Peter Sasdy, who has a prolific track record in the horror genre. This intriguing story begins as a crime thriller and becomes a sci-fi horror with occult overtones, culminating in a fiery climax. Diana Dors is also fiery as a redhead on a mission and the pairing of Cushing and Lee is, as always, unmissable. Grittier and more naturalistic than their usual horror films, this twisted tale keeps the audience guessing right up until the dramatic finale. Nothing But The Night airs on Sunday 26th January at 10pm. Mon 20th Jan 09:10 Wed 22nd Jan 15:05 Sparrows Can’t Sing (1963) Night Without Stars (1951) Comedy, directed by Joan Littlewood.
