This is a astounding series from the BBC about everyone’s approved social climber, Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced “bouquet”) . Her house is spick-and-span. Richard, her long-suffering and hen-pecked husband, keeps the car in immaculate condition (under Hyacinth’s every-watchful spy) . The empty milk bottles sparkle on the doorstep after their obligatory rinse in the dishwasher. To Hyacinth’s anxiety and shame, most of her family is wearisome well-liked, living together in a rundown house that looks like a junkyard. Sister Daisy and her husband, Onslow, are out-and-out slobs while another other sister, Rose, is an aging tart, and Daddy is not quite “all there”. At least she is proud of her 3rd sister, Violet, the one “with the Mercedes, a sauna, and room for a pony” although Violet’s husband is a cross-dresser and somewhat of an embarrassment to Hyacinth. However, she loves them all, and never fails to speed to their assistance when they need her serve. Often it is Daddy that has got into an embarrassing area which Hyacinth (or Richard) has to always solve.
Highly recommended!
Why is it that the best British sitcoms have incredibly annoying lead characters?
First there was John Cleese as a inflamed hotelier, and Rowan Atkinson as the entire offensively sarcastic Blackadder dynasty. Now, there is Patricia Routledge as a social-climber with affected manners and a piercing utter. And with the succor of talented supporting actors and some gloriously madcap scripts, this sitcom becomes almost pure amusing bliss.
Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced “Bouquet,” ss) is the local social climber, and a anxiety to all who know her — she views herself as the doyenne of suited taste, artistry, morals, decorum, and class, and her perpetually-in-debt son Sheridan as being the next Einstein.
She kisses up to the wealthy and aristocratic, and anyone who is closely associated with them, unaware of how noteworthy her self-promotion scares them and occasionally offends. Her weary husband Richard (Clive Swift) and nervy neighbor Elizabeth (Josephine Tewson) horror whatever she has next, especially when Elizabeth’s sharp-tongued brother Emmett moves in.
She adores her sister Violet, who married a wealthy, unfaithful transvestite and has “a swimming pool, Mercedes, and room for a pony.” But she’ll do anything to screen her impoverished family members: her wacked-out father, sloppy romantic Daisy (Judy Cornwell) and skanky Rose (Mary Millar), who has a unique boyfriend for every episode. Not to mention Daisy’s couch potato hubby Onslow (Geoffrey Hughes) .
The series opens with Hyacinth trying to cover the fact that “dear Daddy” was harm while bicycling naked after the milk lady. And when she makes an pains to aid the delicate recent vicar (the “dishy vicar” as Rose calls him), her family shows up in chubby crazy mode, announcing that dear Daddy has been kidnapped by a gypsy.
From there on, she must tackle dozens of other problems: athlete’s foot, enraged cruises on the QE2 (with Onslow and Daisy), inadvertent theft of a Rolls Royce, riverside picnics gone awry, suicide attempts, estate sales, country retreats, anniversaries, nautical disasters, musicals, barbecues, raunchy Majors, Richard’s ill-fated stint as a filmmaker, Christmas kisses, and Rose’s decision to become a nun in a miniskirt. “It’s all lawful,” she announces as she drunkenly smooches the vicar. “I’m going to be a nun!”
This one also includes the later-produced “Life Lessons From Onslow,” a humorous runt clip display in which Onslow finds himself teaching a university course, illustrated by various clips from the series. God encourage those students.
“Keeping Up Appearances” is in the vast tradition of really embarrassing British sitcoms, usually with at least one person who makes everyone else insane. And there’s no excessive need to win Hyacinth out of her various dilemmas — the writers impartial crank up the humiliation and craziness, and let it climax as the note finally ends.
Sure, there are some dud episodes — the amusement park one with all the passe people is plump of one-note jokes. Sorry, but stale ladies throwing up is not laughable more than once. Most of the time, however, the writing is spot-on, from Rose’s affairs with married men (“You swore you’d be faithful… and then… I score you sneaking abet to your wife!”) to Hyacinth’s efforts to camouflage her family (singing so people won’t hear Violet’s brawl with her husband) .
Routledge is the star of this series, no doubt about it — she makes Hyacinth a magnificently terrible character. She is frighteningly annoying, but she’s also completely oblivious. Not only is she unaware that other people gape her as an upholstered harpy, but she’s unaware that her son is satisfied, her hubby is the walking lifeless, and that when people cover from her it’s not a cute cramped joke.
Swift is a colossal counterpoint, as the weary husband who has stopping trying to fight Hyacinth, and only hopes that he can collect a few reprieves at work. Tewson and the perpetually grimacing David Griffin are suitable as her neighbors, and Judy Cornwell and Geoffrey Hughes as Hyacinth’s distinctly unaristocratic sister and brother-in-law.
Social appearances, family and madcap misunderstandings are the heart of “Keeping Up Appearances.” Snobbery has never been so droll.

The animals are introduced in a very titillating contrivance, with a sage about each that kids can really characterize to eg the duck who pretends to be injured to distract the hyena away from her babies, the daddy ostrich protecting his eggs, the chimps who cartwheel down the hill, the fish who swallows her young to sustain them suited. Along the arrangement there is footage of other animals who are objective consuming to observe at. The photography is often gorgeous and the classical music catch fits it well.

I bought this DVD for my five year primitive son because I remember seeing and loving the movie as a child. I wasn’t positive how the movie would have dilapidated, but it serene looks blooming first-rate. Now that I’m older I can space flaws that I missed as a child – scenes that have clearly been place up by the filmmakers or edited together from different pieces of footage. This doesn’t detract from its appeal as a family movie.
If you’re a wildlife purist who is after a serious documentary, this isn’t for you. But if you want an engrossing introduction to African wildlife, it’s perfect. The reviewer who complains about the arrangement that clouds are personalised is missing the point – this is a film that speaks to a child’s imagination. My son loves it, although some of it is over his head and I can stammer he’ll fetch more out of it when he’s a couple of years older. Nevertheless, I’m satisfied to have weaned him off Cut Jnr for a while!
we saw this video many years ago, and loved it so distinguished that we have been looking for it ever since. It is the best and funniest animal video, we have ever seen, and we have seen lots of them. We would highly recommend this for families to gaze.

[This is a review of the DVD version] If you appreciate aged poor SF movies but haven’t ever seen them given the Mystery Science Theater treatment, you owe it to yourself to take up this DVD! Mike Nelson and his robot pals Crow and Tom Servo search for this relentlessly laughable turkey of a movie (a scientist saves the severed head of his girlfriend and puts her in a pan, where she pleads with him to let her die. How sloppily-put-together is this film? The filmmakers apparently forgot their contain title and call it “The Head That Wouldn’t Die” in the demolish credits.) –and throughout the entire film, Tom and the `bots mercilessly riff on the film with silly comments and jokes that’ll have you rolling in your seats. Long a staple of Comedy Central and the Sci-Fi Channel, this is one of the first DVDs of this classic comedy series (many others are available on VHS) . In addition to the pristine and distinct describe you pick up with DVD, Rhino has also included the plump *original* version of “The Brain That Wouldn’t Die” on the flip-side of the disc so you can notice it without Mike and the `bots (to riff on your absorb, perhaps? ) . The DVD menus are innovative and worth checking out fair for the clever swish-pan of the bridge of the Satellite of Appreciate (Crow, Servo, and Gypsy flash past us) . If I had any quibble at all it’s a minor one… why is the DVD chapter that begins the film entitled “It’s Movie Time!” when every MSTie knows it should be “We’ve got Movie Heed!”? But I’ll place up with minor problems like that as long as Rhino continues to give us these colossal reissues of classic MST3K episodes. Now if they’d only release “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians” and “Outlaw”… (Also recommended in this series: the DVD version of “Mystery Science Theater 3000: Eegah.”)
I first saw this movie when I was in the 4th grade or thereabouts, and it skittish the living bejesus out of me.
But what do you know when you’re in the 4th grade?
Now that MST3K has reissued this movie and I’ve watched it perhaps 10 times, I laugh all the map through it. The dialogue is terrible. The basic region recalls countless puns about folks who lose their heads and flash-in-the-pan actresses. Excited Scientist Bill Courtner’s girlfriend has lost hers in a fiery car demolish (“Honey roasted,” comments one of Mike’s companions) . Obsessed scientist that he is, he keeps her head alive in a lasagna pan plump of “adreno-serum” in the basement laboratory of his country position. She says, “Let me die!” enough times that you’re ready to oblige her, then strikes up a liaison, sort of, with the thing that lives in Bill’s closet–the product of an earlier experiment that went awry. (When Bill looks in the closet, you’re dying to hear, “Omygawd, it’s Rosanne!” but Mike’s pals missed that one.) The scene in the seedy strip club sends me into hysterics. Best line here, robot Crow observing one of the girls: “I must have blood before the night is done!”
Buy,Download, Or Stream Mystery Science Theater 3000 – The Brain That Wouldn’t Die! Click Here
There are some godawful blunders. For example, the scene in which Bill enters the country situation with a fresh girlfriend follows very closely after his assistant Curt’s having stumbled around the same room bleeding profusedly from … shall we say, a farewell-to-arms type encounter with the thing in the closet. So where’s all the blood?
The ending is a bit gory (though tame by today’s standards) . The thing in the closet certainly wins the grisly award for that year. But when he/it turns away toward the stairwell after making mayhem starting a fire in the lab and taking a bite out of terrible Bill’s throat, we survey another gross flaw: you can actually contemplate where the conceal is tied on at the aid of the actor’s head! Now THAT’s amusing!
Not to mention how Bill’s broken-down girlfriend, tranquil in her pan at the slay, manages to laugh without the relieve of chest, diaphragm or lungs. (I forgot, she has neck juice.)

Incidentally, in my version the destroy credits also screw up the title, calling it The HEAD That Wouldn’t Die.

Typical manic editing for the dubbed US release, here only given a SEVERELY modest fullscreen (non pan-and-scan) DVD release from Westlake Entertainment(and honestly it seemed to me it was a different ‘edit’ entirely from the US network television airing of this film I once saw when I was younger… but it could unprejudiced be my imagination too;) .
Aloof, this version of director Rene Cardona’s brilliantly flawed surreal masterpiece is like a Ken Russell Christmas narrative. It’s metomorphic, yet simple and uncouth. It has wonderfully bizarre music and spot gain, as well as glowing costumes, colors, and lighting (unless this film was originally B&W and I’m not aware) . I loved the regional representations of the children, and the poor english dub is obviously a cheesy B-movie fan’s lemon or esteem. I cherish it.

The print on this DVD is fullscreen and has severe specks and scratches, the record quality is rough at times… And either a digitally remastered audio track or print has been presented here. It’s not really specified on this Westlake Entertainment DVD release. There is NO DTS track, though– that seems to be incorrectly listed as a feature of this particular 2004 Westlake Ent. DVD release here on Amazoncom.
But it’s collected worth it to recognize a goofy gem of an X-Mas film, corpulent of wild ideas and imagery (A TALKING CHILD LOCATOR? YIKES!) –Some of which is very considerable a precursor to the newer remarkable beloved shows like Pee Wee’s Playhouse and HR Puff-N-Stuff (one never knows) . Fun film for the whole family in this edited up version for the US audiences. Pitch the devilish demon is harmless pseudo-relgious/spiritual nonsense, while ol’ Saint Cleave is portrayed like a GOD.
Fun concepts abound, but the dub is Unpleasant. But fun.
Highly recommended, and the DVD has a nice veil that looks almost like a silver-age droll book screen!

Far out in plot, but directly over the North Pole, lives Santa Claus in his castle in the clouds. From his majestic home, he oversees the Christmas preparations handled by his team of children from around the world. Though, it seems they exhaust most of their time performing regional songs in a trance-like location. All seems to be going well this year, until one of Satan’s devils, Pitch, is ordered to cause Santa peril again. As Santa Claus spies on the children below with bizarre gadgets that gape to be stolen from Peewee’s Playhouse or Sid and Marty Krofft and prepares for his annual coast by gathering supplies from his cohorts, Merlin the wizard and a magical blacksmith, Pitch is busy on the ground teaching children to abominate Santa Claus and to seize and vandalize. Pitch focuses his energy on three spoiled brothers and a dreadful tiny girl named Lupita who is desperate to obtain a doll for Christmas. Lupita’s resistance is unyielding, however, and Santa is positive to reward the melancholy and tormented child. The three unpleasant limited boys, on the other hand, are playing proper into Pitch’s hands. A fourth runt boy is also a subject of wretchedness. The boy is rich, but he’s also a first-rate runt boy who is neglected by his parents. In order to grant the demand in the child’s letter, Santa will have to remind the parents how considerable they care for their son, something he does by drugging their drinks while making his rounds with his disturbing, wind-up, albino reindeer that have a vampiric reaction to sunlight. For the most share, though, it’s all an myth battle of wits between Santa and Pitch, on which the fate of Christmas all depends!
In 1959, the world of cult-film was given a magical Christmas gift in the gain of “Santa Claus,” a Mexican film by director Rene Cardona. This brightly colored, completely backwards fable of Santa vs. Satan has got to be one of the most bizarre films I have ever seen, surely produced by some sort of “Church of Santa Claus.” Despite its thunder weirdness, though, it is a highly exquisite annual experience. People often talk about “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians,” a film I have yet to gather around to seeing, but I can’t imagine it holding a candle to this astonishing travesty. Truth be told, I’m distinct this “children’s film” would succeed in giving many children nightmares, but for the adult who gets a kick out of the occasional bizarre film, this is one for the library! Santa is downright creepy with his infamous laughing fits and the outlandish faces he makes as he plays his organ for the child laborers he uses instead of elves. And, since when does Santa live in heaven and battle Satan? More importantly though, what’s up with those freaky toy reindeer that turn to dust if the sunlight hits them? “Santa Claus,” despite being badly dubbed (and, according to various sources, badly edited for the dubbed version) and having plenty of print scratches and flaws, is a must have for the collector of Christmas or bizarre DVDs. To assign it plainly, this film is a amble!

August 18th, 2010 — Doctor Who - The Aztecs Tagged Doctor Who - The Aztecs, Doctor Who - The Aztecs Streaming, Download Doctor Who - The Aztecs Online, Stream Doctor Who - The Aztecs, Watch Doctor Who - The Aztecs Online
BBC Video has released two further adventures from their long running TV series Doctor Who on DVD. The two stories advance from the very early days of the programme, and one of its powerful later seasons, twenty two years later. Comparing the two stories now, 1964’s The Aztecs and 1985’s Vengeance on Varos, it’s very hard to rep that they are even section of the same series.
When William Hartnell first stepped before the cameras as the recent Doctor in 1963, so exiguous was known to the viewers about this enigmatic character, and indeed remarkable of what we know about the Doctor now was invented years after the series began. The initial brief for the producers was to allege as well as to entertain, and as such the Doctor and his travelling companions often found themselves going procedure encourage into Earth’s history to encounter proper events. The Aztecs is the second of these purely historial stories to be broadcast. I for one was never very fond of these stories as a child. Ironically, the things that bored me then are what really makes this tale stand up so well nearly forty years later. As with all early TV drama in the UK, the explain had a little budget, miniscule TV studios, a dinky cast and was recorded “as live” with no room for editing. Despite these handicaps, the account is serene remarkably spicy to peruse.
The DVD is packed with extras, many of which go a long design to perhaps explaining why this four fraction sage has ancient so well. Producer Verity Lambert, and the two surviving members of the new Tardis crew, Carole-Ann Ford (Susan) and William Russell (Ian) provide a genuinely bewitching commentary, where they capture many of the production issues they faced at the time, with on-screen captions filling in the gaps from their memories. Also here, other members of the cast have been interviewed for a separate 25 microscopic extra “Remembering the Aztecs” and state designer Barry Newbery appears in another 25 microscopic special “Designing the Aztecs.” You’ll also come by an piquant feature describing how to execute Cocoa (in a very “South Park” style) and a clip from another BBC classic point to “Blue Peter” telling the sage of Cortez and Montezuma. And that’s not all! There’s an Arabic dub of episode 4, subtitles, a ogle at the restoration process, an easter egg and some standard photo galleries and character backgrounds.

The legend is very reliant on characterisation and performance, and played uninteresting straight by all the actors fervent. Sadly, this cannot be said of the tongue in cheek camp playing of the sister release, Vengeance on Varos.
The quality of the images are improbable. The novel master tapes were destroyed attend in 1967, and only a washed out film print exists in the BBC archives. However, it has been painstakingly restored, cleaned and improved, and finally the restored print being “Vid-Fired” to recreate almost exactly the fresh quality of the video tapes. It’s an incredible technical feat, and the results are very, very impressive. I unbiased wish they had applied the technology to the earlier released “Tomb of the Cybermen.”
It’s a terrific portion of TV drama, but I admit it may not be to the liking of fans of the sci-fi based Doctor Who. If you like Vengeance on Varos, you almost certainly won’t like The Aztecs. I however give it the pudgy five stars!
When Doctor Who began in 1963 the plan was that the childrens programme would have two elements as a mix in the stories. Having a machine that could disappear through time and dwelling, the TARDIS, meant that two types of chronicle could be used: science fiction and history. The basis of the reveal could be seen in the unique cast. Of the Doctor’s unique companions two are school teachers, Ian Chesterton – a science teacher; Barbara Wright – a history teacher. The interests and strrengths of each were conventional in these early stories.

In the early days of Doctor Who historical alternated with science fiction; but from slow December 1963 with the favorite and significant success of the first appearance of the Daleks it was apparent that the series was to focus more on science fiction than history. In some ways that is wretched. Science fiction tends to think the time in which it is produced, and years later ideas that seemed futuristic at the time of recent production later seem amusing. This is the case with powerful of the early sc-fi in 1960s Doctor Who. In the surviving stories (or parts of stories) from this era it is apparent that the historical stories have frail better. The king of the historicals was scriptwriter John Lucarotti. During William Hartnell’s reign as the Doctor Lucarotti produced three splendid scripts, Marco Polo (soon to be available in an audio only CD version) ; The MAssacre of St Bartholomew’s Eve (available in the UK in an audio version as all new episdoes have been destroyed) ; and the narrative under review, The Aztecs.
The Aztecs is one of the best early stories. The TARDIS arrives in the tomb of an Aztec high priest some years before the arrival of Cortes. While exploring Barbara is wrong for the reincarnation of the high priest and is acclaimed a goddess. The Doctor, Ian, and Susan are viewed as her servants. Barbara fascinated by the strengths of Aztec culture takes it upon herself to consume her set as goddess to change the Aztec culture of human sacrifice. The Doctor is askance concerned that time travellers cannot change history.
While Barbara enjoys some success with persuasion of one of the high priests, her area upsets the high priest of sacrifice who determines that he must exhibit she is a fallacious goddess, and must deal with her companions.
The four parter is honest the just length and – for what was at the time detached children’s television – the characterisation is subtle and revealing of aspects of Aztec culture. Particularly impressive is Lucarotti’s drawing of the two high priests – the head and the heart of Aztec society. Both have positive beliefs, both have their beliefs challenged by the time travellers intervention.
There are fight scenes, a putative care for interest for Hartnell’s Doctor (the scenes played by Hartnell with his ageing female companion are a delight), and consideration of great cultural and just questions. When in another culture simply because you, with western liberal values, abhor of the characteristics of that culture, do you have a factual to quiz that it change? In one stark conflict barbara is presented with a sacrifice she attempts to prevent, where the victim wishes to die for the honour that will be brought upon him and his family.
This is highly recommended for Doctor Who fans. While in dim and white, the characterize quality has held up reasonably well, and the regular cast are well settled in their parts. This coupled with the profitable script, and the desirable characterisation form this a must have for Time Lord fans.
if you devour this try to procure believe of The Crusade, two episodes of which are available on video (together with CD for the missing episodes) coupled with Glyn Jones’ The Region Museum.

Full Review:
Caution–This view reveals major details about the movie’s dwelling.
I first saw this film in the theater in March. I was in the market for a quality present to celebrate Women’s History Month and the tail ruin of “365 Days of African American History.” But it was Friday night and I was also in the mood to laugh. So I convinced my date to glimpse “Madea’s Family Reunion” rather than the action flick he was lobbying for. We’d both seen the stage version of “Madea’s Family Reunion” and all of Tyler Perry’s other shows on DVD and knew the film would be fun. But we didn’t anticipate the degree to which Mr. Perry and his pistol packin’ alter ego, grandma Mabel “Madea” Simmons (one of three characters he plays in the film), would load so many dead-serious and inspirational messages into this scenic gem.
The ethnically diverse audience at the cinema where we saw the film seemed to concur. We all gasped and guffawed, oohed and aahed at the appropriate moments (except one, which I’ll address later), and stayed to examine the outtakes and extra treats rolled alongside the credits. Mr. Perry knows his audience…he kept us enraptured, in the palm of his hand, until Madea broke the spell and directed, “You can go home now.”
The film’s script, music (which writer, producer, actor, director Perry had a hand in), cinematography, casting and wardrobe blissful the senses, with one major exception that profoundly disappointed me. Not everyone seemed to agree; I was surprised (and red faced) to be the only one in the theater to react audibly to the rendering of the “Springtime in Paris” wedding theme pulled together by wedding planner Milay Jenay Lori (played by Jenifer Davis) . When I saw it, I couldn’t assist but blurt out, “That’s dreadful!” Everyone else in the theater was peaceful. They were probably either wishing I’d pipe down or wondering, as I was, why–given the movie’s broad budget, the beauty of some scenes and realistic homeliness of others–the bridal spot had to be so goldarn tacky. But that’s a minor matter, like a ding in the fender of a top-of-the-line sports car, or the fact that fine-as-wine and manly-but-artistic Frankie (played by Boris Kodjoe) was not as wealthy as the equally comely, “admire you to death,” Carlos (played by Blair Underwood) .
“Madea’s Family Reunion” is not impartial a gem. This blockbuster’s also a cash cow. According to Wikipedia, “On opening weekend, February 24, 2006 Mr. Perry’s movie version of Madea’s Family Reunion opened at number one with $30 million, more than triple the amount it cost to design.” Furthermore, as IMDb reports, “After the first week record-breaking release of the first “Madea” film by Perry, Tyler, Lions Gate Home Entertainment acquired a seven-picture deal of the remaining Madea films.” In addition to his commercial and considerable success, Mr. Perry’s website reports that he is currently celebrating being the first playwright of this genre to be sponsored by a major pharmaceutical company, Glaxo Wellcome.
I’m thrilled at Mr. Perry’s success. Like single-mother Whoopi and motherless-at-an-early-age Madonna, the N’Awlins native and adult survivor of child abuse has joined the ranks of wildly common self-made millionaires who have overcome great personal tribulations, taken unusual jobs to finance their dreams, and even spent time homeless. Mr. Perry began writing stage plays at age 18, and so far has conquered stage and veil. Next on the horizon: his first unique, Don’t Beget a Unlit Woman Occupy Her Earrings Off: Madea’s Commentaries on Like and Life. I can’t wait to salvage between those sheets!

As some-one who is given to regularly reviewing the works of Ken Russell (against my better judgement), a completely (often deliberately) misunderstood and unjustly derided film-maker, you eventually arrive some kind of review-brick-wall; a point from which it’s impossible to progress any further.

‘Lisztomania’ is Russell’s MOST misunderstood and MOST unjustly derided motion picture; I’ll bet mighty filthy lucre he laughed like a drain while he shot it.
If ever a film, quandary packed with fabulously garish and disrespectful visuals, was designed and clinically executed with the sole purpose of goading pompous, humourless, over-reverential critics – ‘Lisztomania’ is definitely it.
Where else can you survey iconic composer Richard Wagner grow a pair of vampire fangs; perform an Aryan monster (Thor – played by overblown organ-obsessive Rick Wakeman!) stage a thoroughly nightmarish ‘Rape of the Rhine Maidens’ with the perpetrator sporting a Star of David tattoo (on his forehead!!) ; train innocent slight kiddies anti-Semitic rock songs about ‘Teutonic Godheads’; die; return from the grave as Frankenstein’s monster with a Hitler moustache firing an tall guitar/machine gun at a spaceship plump of his and Franz Liszt’s ex-lovers who are trying to bomb him?

You can’t…
Only (and remarkable, great more), in ‘Lisztomania’.
See Ringo Starr as the Pope: “Raped at gunpoint? ….well it happens to the best of us my son”.
Gasp at the brilliantly unfeasible nudity; reel at the disgraceful marrying of graceful classical pieces with shameful rock lyrics; drop on the floor and roll in the mud as Roger Daltrey’s hair miraculously changes from 70’s curly-perm to straight shoulder-length half-way through the film – making a mockery of any attempt at continuity…
And I’m unbiased scratching the surface.
‘Lisztomania’ is one of the most enchanting films ever made; it’s also one of Russell’s most autobiographical as well as the most historically lawful of all his biopics.
None of this matters a jot – I’m unprejudiced trying to interpret the pneumatically opinionated excess and comically distorted abandon with a fact or two; give the delirium some gravitas and worthiness…
Ken won’t thank me – likewise those tediously listless classical music bods who will never realize that the art they so revere and champion was of its time populist and often reactionary – won’t thank him.
‘Lisztomania’ is Ken Russell slowly raising a middle finger to the critic, to the elite and to the church among (many) others.
Unfortunately, when mega-conservative David Puttnam and his un-enlightened, un-prepossessing cohorts realized what Russell was doing with the money they were giving him…they didn’t give him any more, and without the backing of Lord and Lady Muck at the BFI he never again achieved the kind of artistic success as his insane 70’s period.
He’s made pleasurable films, but never really re-captured that desperate energy and budge he possessed in such abundance.
Those responsible should hang their heads in shame; as the limo drops them at yet another red carpet event celebrating ‘the Bank Job’, ‘Four Weddings’, ‘Notting Hill’ or whatever lumpen mush is passing for British movies these days.
They won’t, but the fact ‘Lisztomania’ exists at all, will support to remind them that Britain could once turn out a precise film and not honest a dispassionate formula.

The color is extraordinary as is the sound. The relate is so distinct that you’d converse you were watching the shows in their recent hurry. Powerful clearer and considerable more knowing than the syndicated television versions, and best of all, UNEDITED! syndication chops off probably 5 to 8 minutes of each episode. Unfortuneatley, there isn’t powerful for bonus features, but unprejudiced having each episode unedited in grand color and clarity is more than enough, with a titanic label to boot.
The episode where Gilligan dreams that he is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde actually would be number 81 “And Then There Were None”. Such it will be featured on the upcoming DVD place featuring the complete third season. There is nothing missing here at all.

In 1957, Paramount produced a very exquisite musical comedy called “Humorous Face”, directed by Stanley Donen, and to the music of George Gershwin, Adolph Deutsch, Roger Edens and Leonard Gershe. With a simple space, the film begins in Modern York City within the offices of the major fashion magazine named “Quality”. Its president, Maggie Prescott (Kay Thompson), is clear to gather a recent scheme to promote the magazine. In a moment of inspiration, she comes up with the slogan “Deem pink,” and breaks into song praising the color pink and saying that everything (from women’s clothing, soap, furniture, etc.) must be pink. Of course, she “wouldn’t be caught plain” in it.
Moving on to another magazine project, Maggie wants to fetch the perfect place to photograph one of the magazine’s models named Marion (Dovima, who was a major fashion model in the 1950’s working closely with photographer Richard Avedon. This was her only film.) . An assistant suggests that they go to a bookstore in Greenwich Village to develop an luminous atmosphere. Maggie, Marion, a host of Maggie’s staff all in pink and the magazines head photographer, Dick Avery (Fred Astaire), force their plot into a dingy, but unruffled, bookstore along with all of their equipment. A store employee, Jo Stockton (Audrey Hepburn) protests the uninvited intrusion vehemently, but the “Quality” magazine army locks her out of the store to work undisturbed. After several hours, the “Quality” mob vacates, but the books and store are left in a shambles for Jo to orderly up. Dick offers his back to orderly the store, but Jo refuses. After Dick leaves, Jo proceeds to suppose another fantastic song in the film, “How Long Has This Been Going On? “
Maggie decides that “Quality” must derive a staunch “Quality woman” to narrate the magazine and it isn’t Marion. When Dick develops the photos taken at the bookstore, Jo is in one of them. He suggests to Maggie that Jo could be the woman that they need, but Maggie has her doubts. To lure Jo to the “Quality” offices, they order a enormous number of books and want them delivered. Jo arrives hours later with a pile of books and is accosted by Maggie’s staff who want to redress her in preparation for a photo shoot. Jo escapes and hides in Dick’s black room. They talk and he sings to her another of the film’s title song, “Amusing Face”. Jo completely disagrees with everything that “Quality” magazine represents; she believes in “empathicalism”, a philosophy that rejects all material things, as described by her idol, Professor Emile Flostre, who lives in Paris. When Jo is told that the “Quality woman” photo shoot and a fashion explain will be done in Paris, she reluctantly agrees to be the model since it will give her the opportunity to meet Prof. Flostre.

The film continues in Paris where Jo models many clothes designed by Givenchy and a romance between her and Dick Avery develops. Jo finally gets the opportunity to meet Prof. Flostre (Michel Auclair), but will he meet Jo’s expectations? Will the romance between Jo and Dick survive the photo shoot and meeting Prof. Flostre? Does Maggie regain to get the Paris fashion expose of your dreams? You’ll unbiased have to perceive this very racy film to accept out!
The songs in the film include:
* “Judge Pink” 5/5, Kay Thompson. A hastily, fast & whimsical song.

Some may contemplate that “Comic Face” is nothing more than fluff, but it was produced to entertain with color, fashion, music, dance and comedy and it does so very well. The acting, singing and dancing from Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire and Kay Thompson is quite obedient and I rate “Laughable Face” with 5 out of 5 stars. If you’re primarily alive to in Oscar-winning dramas, “Droll Face” may disappoint you; but if you devour light-hearted musicals and like to laugh, then you’ll probably be very entertained with this fun film!
FUNNY FACE is one of the most savory and exquisite of Hollywood musicals. Featuring an immortal George & Ira Gershwin gather (“He Loves and She Loves”, “S’Wonderful”, “Let’s Kiss and Form Up”, “How Long Has This Been Going On? “) ; the smartly-written screenplay by Leonard Gershe also marks this film with a strong storyline. I’ve yet to meet anyone who doesn’t like this movie.
When Quality Magazine invades a pokey Greenwich Village bookstore for a photo shoot, it’s the “dowdy knowing shopgirl” Jo Stockton (Audrey Hepburn) who gets unwittingly discovered. Photographer Dick Avery (Fred Astaire) finds something special in this “comic face” and jets her off to Paris as the current model for Quality’s beauty campaign. Of course fancy comes knocking for Jo and Dick, but not before some superior songs have been sung, and showstopping dances have been performed.
Kay Thompson steals the entire movie as the deadpan magazine editor Maggie Prescott. She gets things off to a cracking open with “Deem Pink”, traipses all over the streets of Paris with “Bonjour Paree”; and also gets a kooky 11 o’clock beatnik routine, “Clap Yo’ Hands” (with Astaire) . The character of Prescott is a thinly-veiled caricature of well-known fashion editor Diana Vreeland; whilst Astaire’s role is modelled after photographer Richard Avedon. Fans of “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” should support an recognize out for ragged brides’ Virginia Gibson and Ruta Lee, reunited here as two of Prescott’s assistants.
Audrey Hepburn’s early ballet and dance training came in handy with making Silly FACE, her “Basal Metabolism” routine is spectacular (and she sings quite well too) . Filmed on area in Paris, the entire movie definitely has the reliable European Travelogue feel to it.
This 50th Anniversary Edition of Droll FACE will feature a brand-new High Definition transfer of the movie, some tremendous modern featurettes (“The Fashion Designer & His Muse”, “Parisian Dreams”), plus the material from the previous DVD release (“Paramount in the ’50s” featurette, a photo gallery and the trailer) .
