THE PRESIDENT'S ANALYST, etc.


Interesting pair of triple-features at the Tri-City Twin, from July, 1968. THE PRESIDENT'S ANALYST (1967; interesting spelling there) was the unique and of-its-time James Coburn vehicle. THE OLDEST PROFESSION was the Goldstone Film Enterprises release of the European anthology Le Plus vieux métier du monde (1967); no DVD release. WILL PENNY (1968) was a western featuring a great cast (Charlton Heston, Donald Pleasence, Lee Majors, Bruce Dern, Ben Johnson, Slim Pickens, Anthony Zerbe, Luke Askew). THE HAPPENING (1967, no "s") was a Columbia hippies-vs.-mafia comedy featuring Anthony Quinn and Michael Parks; doesn't seem to have ever gotten a home video release. WILD IN THE STREETS (1968) was the Robert Thom-scripted, caustic counterculture classic from AIP. FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE (1965) was the middle film in the Leone/Eastwood trilogy.

THE PLAY PEN GIRLS, etc.


The Mohawk Drive-in featured this adult triple-feature back in January, 1968. THE PLAY PEN GIRLS (1967) was an obscure nudie (maybe from New York) with Janet Banzet; no home release known. THE SEX CYCLE (1966) was a Joe Sarno film with Victor Bertini, the director of THE PLAY PEN GIRLS; on VHS from Alpha Blue and Something Weird. SATAN IN HIGH HEELS (1962) was a low-budget noir known for its Mundell Lowe crime jazz soundtrack.

PLANET OF THE APES, etc.


Here's another pair of Tri-City Twin double-features, this one from July, 1968. Did you know Felix Silla played a baby gorilla in PLANET OF THE APES (1968)? Sinatra played a P.I. in TONY ROME (1967). DON'T RAISE THE BRIDGE, LOWER THE RIVER (1967) was a Jerry Lewis comedy. BERSERK! (1967) was a horror film starring Joan Crawford; no DVD on this one yet.
