What I've heard of the commentaries are very illuminating, particularly the one with Karlen which feels like he's simultaneously bemused by his past and fascinated by what he was once involved with.Mr. Peel aka Peter Avellinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553482286909862975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-88768397684751462952008-10-26T14:13:00.000-07:002008-10-26T14:13:00.000-07:00Excellent write-up on this haunting film. Kumel's ...Excellent write-up on this haunting film. Kumel's rather slim filmography is very frustrating when you consider this classic and other works such as Malpertuis and Eline Vere which would make a great companion piece to the stately House Of Mirth. The Daughters DVD is one of my favourites, and the two commentary tracks make for great listening.Steve Langtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00759586159893673244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-83992882445226582882008-10-25T08:28:00.000-07:002008-10-25T08:28:00.000-07:00Fred--Thanks very much, glad you liked the piece. ...Fred--<BR/><BR/>Thanks very much, glad you liked the piece. I'm sure it was fascinating to get to visit those cities. My knowledge of DARK SHADOWS is limited, though I know some people who are huge fans. I've seen both of the theatrical films but it's been a few years so my memories are vague. I only know CAGNEY & LACEY because it was the sort of thing my parents watched and remembering what Karlen looked like there it's hard to believe it's the same person.Mr. Peel aka Peter Avellinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553482286909862975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-28812653927373610172008-10-24T10:04:00.000-07:002008-10-24T10:04:00.000-07:00Great review of one of my favorite films of the 70...Great review of one of my favorite films of the 70s, and one of my all time favorite vampire films. The pacing, cinematography and chemistry of the 4 main actors is excellent. I love the location scenes in Brugge and Ostend (two places I've had the pleasure of visiting). Having been to both places in late Summer/early Fall, it was interesting to see them both in late Fall/Winter. Very different impressions based on the seasons.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I don't recall if you mentioned this, but John Karlen had appeared the previous year as Willie Loomis in House of Dark Shadows, a very different (but equally enjoyable) vampire film.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768886260813823765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-86190936756854780162008-10-23T19:43:00.000-07:002008-10-23T19:43:00.000-07:00Jeremy--Glad to hear that you like it as well, esp...Jeremy--<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear that you like it as well, especially since it's one of those films where you can't be sure how other people may respond to it.
