It's the usual over-the-top cartoon style male fantasy stuff from Russ. It's interesting that he made this in 1967 and he still could not bring himself to show nudity. Quite the prude.

Book #412: False Pretenses (1994, Arthur Lyons)
I've read this before. The start sounded very familiar and with 50 pages to go I knew "whodunit". Arthur tries a little too hard in the first half of the book. He spreads the hard boiled PI style on a bit too thick. In the second half, he calms down and pretty much sticks to the unfolding plot. Pretty good private eye tale.
Movie #1982: 200 Motels (1971, Frank Zappa)
It took me 41 years to see this film? Yikes!
Anyway, I needn't have worried - it's pretty much a stinker. Lots of frantic cutting and visual effects makes this a freakout? No.

Walk km 10014-10019 (11,970 to go): every block: William Street
Movie #1980: La Morte Saison Des Amours (1961, Pierre Kast)
It's amazing what obscurities you can find on YouTube. Here we have 100 minutes of the idle rich continually telling each other what a terrible life they lead. Yech!
Movie #1981: Festival Girls (1962, Leigh Jason)
Leigh Jason's final film - he went from Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanywyck in "The Mad Miss Manton" to Arch Hall Jr in "The Choppers" to this.
Actually, it's quite entertaining but not due to any talent from the cast or crew. They were setting their sites very low and they hit the target. For the "blonde dynamite" they couldn't even afford a woman that looked good - although Barbara Valentin does look fine in a bikini. The striptease scenes at the end appear to be tacked on. One looks like it came from a JD movie.
An entertaining mess.

Movie #1979: Two And Two Make Six (1962, Freddie Francis)
a poster for this film using its charming American title: The Girl Swappers
It's a strange thing about British comedies: there is no requirement that they be funny! Instead of the usual misunderstanding this film is based on the actual physical switching of two people. And that's the whole film - they milk that one switcheroo for a full 90 minutes. It gets rather dull after awhile. However, Janette Scott is smashing!
