Try this URL link ... it's a silly but fun THE GOOD THE BAD & THE UGLY tie-in gundown game.

Savant's new reviews today are

Mill of the Stone Women Mondo Macabro USA
The Wolf Man: The Legacy Collection Universal
Fat Man and Little Boy Paramount and
Man of La Mancha MGM

So Savant finally caught up with the elusive Mill of the Stone Women, and liked what he saw. When you question my sense of proportion, remember that I've been impatiently waiting to see this for about 30 years. Some horror fans find it slow and uneventful, and yes, I must confess that there isn't a single explosion or gushing artery in the whole picture. No rap score either.

The American Cinematheque is having a Sam Peckinpah revival (the films, not the director himself) and this Saturday are showing a double bill of Ride the High Country, one of his best, and Major Dundee, the one I think is the most interesting. They're showing one of the 'legendary' missing scenes from Dundee immediately afterward, from my surviving flat 16mm source. If that's an extra enticement to turn out for the program, terrific; I'm hoping that Dundee will be a new print. That's Saturday the 8th at 7:30 at the Egyptian on Hollywood Boulevard. So, spread the word ...

Thanks, Glenn Erickson
