Greetings from a very rainy but pleasant Los Angeles, where the Hollywood sign is hidden behind the mist! Two very different reviews from Image Entertainment today.

Making the Misfits is a comprehensive and insightful look at the filming of John Huston's The Misfits, a great picture that was never a hit. The set was kind of a cultural Ground Zero. Besides Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable each making their last film, Montgomery Clift, Eli Wallach, and Huston were there, and 9 world-class still photographers documented the whole thing. Key interviews from Arthur Miller and Eli Wallach help explain the concentration of ill-fated superstars. A superior Hollywood docu.

Jess Franco's Eugenie ... the story of her journey into perversion takes Savant into territory he should probably stay clear of - it's the best Franco I've yet seen, yet still nothing I'd ever develop an aesthetic liking for. An impressive Christopher Lee appearance helps, along with some good camerawork, but it's still pretentious, softcore sleaze, folks. Apologies to the legions of online Francophiles.

Thanks! Glenn Erickson
