Collection ID 813
Director: Kurt Neumann
Starring: David Hedison, Patricia Owens, Vincent Price, Herbert Marshall, Kathleen Freeman
Genre: Drama, Horror, Sci-Fi
Studio: Twentieth Century Fox   Release date: 1958   Rated: Not Rated   
Language (Country): English, French (USA)
Summary: After her husband Andre Delambre is crushed to death in a mechanical press, his wife recounts to his brother Francois Delambre and police Inspector Charas the events of the previous few months. They were very much in love and with their little boy, a very happy family. Andre was experimenting with teleportation - transporting objects from one point to another by breaking the object down to the atomic level and then reassembling it in a receiver a distance away. The system had some glitches - it seemed to work with inanimate object but his cat disappeared when he tried teleporting it. He thinks he's solved all of the problems with his invention and decides to try and teleport himself. When a fly enters the teleportation device with him, disaster strikes.
My Rating:
My Review: Written by James Clavell, directed by Kurt Neumann. Starring David Hedison, Patricia Owens, Vincent Price, Herbert Marshall and others. Here is the original sci-fi classic - Science gone awry. Man meddling with the primal forces of nature. Here a scientist is experimenting with matter transference (teleportation). The movie opens with a murder mystery. Why would Helene Delambre willingly murder her husband? What are the circumstances of this bizarre crime? As the inspector (Herbert Marshall) and family friend (Vincent Price) begin their investigation, they have no idea the bizarre facts they are about to uncover. Working on his own, imbued with arrogance, Andre Delambre (played by Al Hedison) presumes that he has considered all the possibilities. As he steps into his matter transport booth, a mundane house fly enters with him. As the transference occurs, their atoms are mixed and a horrific abomination steps out of the booth. A fantastic, fatalistic, drama, wrapped up in a thrilling sci-fi wrapper. Magnificent writing, acting and set design. I give it a 5 out of 5.

Collection ID 647
Director: Sergio Leone
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Gian Maria Volontè, Mara Krupp, Luigi Pistilli
Genre: Art House & International
Studio: MGM (Video & DVD)   Release date: 1967   Rated: R   
Language (Country): English, French (Italy)
Summary: A ringing instance of a sequel far outstripping its predecessor, Sergio Leone's "For a Few Dollars More" takes the lethal antihero from "A Fistful of Dollars", gives him both a rival and an adversary worthy of sharing a gun-blazing corrida, and ratchets up the stylization to something approaching grandeur. This time the Man with No Name (Clint Eastwood) is a bounty hunter whose desert Southwest killing ground is suddenly crowded by the presence of an older, black-clad shootist (Lee Van Cleef). Individually and together, they terminate sundry grotesques while closing in on their biggest quarry, a memorably insane bandit called El Indio (Gian Maria Volonté is brilliant). There's just enough plot to imbue Van Cleef with genuine mystery, a dark avenging angel from a lost past whose pull would supply the emotional core of Leone's later masterworks "Once upon a Time in the West" and "Once upon a Time in America". Leone's bravura widescreen compositions are breathtaking, and Ennio Morricone's music score--tinged with lunatic religiosity--is his first great one. "--Richard T. Jameson"
My Rating:
My Review: Directed by Sergio Leone , starring Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef, this is another classic 'Spaghetti Western'. The dialog is great, the music (by Ennio Morricone) is absolutely fantastic. The story is worthy of any classic western, and the movie drips with atmosphere. The sets, locations and costumes create an authentic feeling that never fails to satisfy. The introspective close-ups and flashbacks add immeasurably to the drama, and the performances are genre casting.
