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.
