GAILY, GAILY / BUONA SERA, MRS. CAMPBELL

March, 1970 comedy double-feature at the State in Schenectady. GAILY, GAILY (1969) was Norman Jewison's follow-up to THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR; BUONA SERA, MRS. CAMPBELL (1968) was set in WW2-era Italy. No DVD on either title yet.

GABRIELLA, etc.

January, 1974 adult triple-feature at Raleigh's Center Drive-in...GABRIELLA (1972) was the softcore movie later re-edited into CLASS OF '74; Johnny Legend says this earlier version was never released theatrically but I guess he was wrong; Something Weird has it on VHS and DVD-R, and the later version is available on bootleg labels. SUGAR COOKIES (1973) was the NYC-shot adult horror film with Mary Woronov and Lynn Lowry. Can't find any info on 3 FOR A PARTY.

FREAKS, etc.

Wild triple-feature from January, 1971, which screened at Proctor's in Schenectady and the Oxford in North Troy. One for the heads, I guess. Wonder how the print for FREAKS (1932) looked? NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968) is available on about a million labels, but I think the Elite version is the one to go with. Funny misprint for Buñuel's Un chien andalou (1929).

FRANKENSTEIN MUST BE DESTROYED, etc. part 2
