Judy,

This is an interesting film and I love the affective photography which contributes so much. I saw “Nosferatu” many years ago, back in the 1970’s, I believe it was at the Museum of Modern Art. This was years before home video.

R.D. – Evans really great in this film. A brillant convincing performance. Look forward to reading your review.

Thanks Judy.

Fuller is a true rebel in the Hollywood hierarchy and a real primative. He used his newspaper tabloid background in much of his work on the screen. He also made one of the great newspaper themed films “Park Row.”

John, a great post. I’m in the process of watching some of Fuller’s work and was favorably impressed when I saw this recently. Fuller sure accomplished a lot with few resources at his disposal, and Evans really was sensational. Fuller pulled no punches about his political views, but they were so all over the map that nobody could ever accuse him of being an ideologue! I’ll probably be presenting my own (less detailed) take on the movie in a couple of weeks.

This sounds spectacularly weird. I haven’t seen enough classic horror, but have just watched ‘Nosferatu’, so, after being creeped out by Max Schreck, it could be time to see some Karloff too!

A great and detailed review, John – you make this sound like a very powerful and harrowing film. All the background you have included about Fuller and the reaction to the movie adds a lot. Great stuff!

Sam,

While I have heard of “The Invisible Ray” I have yet to see it. Certainly sounds interesting enough. I will have to give it a try.
