Billy Wilder explains how the commercial failure of "Ace in the Hole" (1951) changed his view about the audience: "Wilder: 'Ace in the Hole' (1951) was a very peculiar thing. I was very fond of the picture—I got wonderful, wonderful reactions to it from more serious people. But for some reason or other, people did not want to see that grim a picture, that boasted the guy in the hole there, and the reporter, Mr. Kirk Douglas. It was very somber. It was one of my most somber pictures. And they did not believe me that when somebody’s a newspaperman, they are capable of that behavior. Interviewer: Very much ahead of its time. Wilder: [Shrugs.] Yeah. Interviewer: In this current age of tabloid culture, 'Ace in the Hole' has never felt more up-to-the-minute. Is it amusing to you, how this film has held up? Wilder: Yeah, that’s very funny, I must say. It was a complete failure. It was just... I don’t know. I just changed my mind about the audience. I just think that if you do something very fine, that they will get to the core of the thing, what it’s about, what it’s really about. But they never, at the time, they never gave it a chance. Somebody in an editorial, I think, in Life magazine said that “Mr. Wilder should be deported.” I felt that I was not with it anymore. That I wrote against the audience, the people who paid, in those days, a dollar fifty, two dollars. They felt robbed. They wanted to be entertained, entertained in a serious way, but not too serious a way. I don’t know. Then again, they did go for 'Double Indemnity' (1944). You can never, never, never predict an audience’s reaction. You never know how it’s going to affect them. But I hear about 'Ace in the Hole' quite a bit these days." ("Conversations with Wilder", Cameron Crowe, 1999) P.S: On this day, 75 years ago, "Ace in the Hole" (1951) premiered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA.

In 1972, Alfred Hitchcock's "oner" leaves the murder to our imagination as the camera follows, then creepily retreats on a studio set. At the end, a hidden cut reveals the real location in London. Did he use a crane, jib or overhead track inside?

Showed my four year old King Kong. Lots of harmless fun seeing people get chomped and smushed but I had forgotten how hardcore this moment is.

In 1967, Tony Curtis felt unsatisfied with the recent movies he had starred in. He though his career was losing momentum & needed a new challenge. "The Boston Str@ngler" (1968) provided him the perfect opportunity. He had heard that the producer was looking at many actors to play the title role irrespective of the popularity. Richard Fleischer also wanted Tony Curtis to star in the movie. However, Darryl F. Zanuck didn't think Curtis was right for the part. He thought Curtis was too recognisable to play the character. One day, Curtis took some putty and built himself a big nose, changed his eyelashes, eyebrows and hair. He took photos of himself with his 35mm camera —profiles and front views — and had two dozen eight-by-tens printed up on grainy paper. He gave them to Richard Fleischer, who went to Zanuck's office, threw the pictures on the table, and said, “Here’s your strangler.” Zanuck said, “Yeah, that guy could be him. I like that look—who is it?” , Fleischer replied, “Tony!”. He was then cast in the picture.

Mario Bava on the troubles he faced while making 'Planet of the Vampires' (1965): "I wish that the audience and the critics knew the conditions under which I am forced to make movies. For 'Planet of the Vampires' (1965), I didn’t have anything to work with. There was only a studio, completely empty and squalid, because there was no money: I had to turn that into a [mysterious, alien] planet. So what did I do? In the studio next door there were two big plastic rocks, a leftover prop from a sword-and-sandal movie or something. I took these two rocks and I put them in the middle of my studio, then I covered the floor with smoke and I darkened the white wall in the background. I shot the whole movie by moving the two rocks around the studio. Can you believe it? And, while I was shooting, there was this American screenwriter who kept rewriting the script, changing scenes and dialogues… After a while, I stopped listening to him. Do you remember that, at the end of the movie, the astronauts land on planet Earth at the beginning of its existence? Well, the screenwriter wanted the astronauts to get off the spaceship and meet Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, which was located in Missouri, USA. Naturally, I refused to shoot this kind of stuff." (Mario Bava's interview with Luigi Cozzi, translated by Cinepugno, 1970)

Romeo Is Bleeding (1993) - Pure 90s neo-noir fire. Gary Oldman as a dirty cop spiraling way out of control, Lena Olin delivering one of the most dangerous femme fatales ever, and the whole film soaked in style, violence, and pitch-black humor.

Rainer Werner Fassbinder on the recurring theme in his movies: "Every decent director has only one subject, and finally only makes the same film over and over again. My subject is the exploitability of feelings, whoever might be the one exploiting them. It never ends. It’s a permanent theme. Whether the state exploits patriotism, or whether in a couple’s relationship, one partner destroys the other." ("Rainer Werner Fassbinder: 10 essential films", Alex Davidson, BFI, 2015) P.S: Remembering the great German Filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder on his 81st birthday!

Zatoichi’s Conspiracy (1973) is a little Been There Done That, a somber retread of the first few movies in tonal opposition of Katsu Production’s exploitative bite, but it just makes the spewing gory payoff richer, and it’s SO lovely to get a farewell score from Akira Ifukube.
