Been watching some films recently which offered some strange aspects.

1. "The Bloody Judge" (1970) starring Christopher Lee. On three 
occasions the dialogue dissolved from English into German for no 
explicable reason.

2. Part of a 1950s' Pathe documentary series called "A Time To 
Remember". For some scenes dating from 1919 the accompanying music was 
Count Basie's "Honeysuckle Rose" and Tommy Dorsey's "Dark Eyes". For an 
early 40s scene, what else but Duke Ellington's 1931 "Rockin' In 
Rhythm". Oh, I forgot for a 20s scene "Take The 'A' Train"!

3. A nasty horror film called "Hatchet For The Honeymoon", in the 
opening credits it refers to "screemplay by..." Well, they nearly got it 
right. The most horrible part of the film is the acting.
