Review of Spirits of the Dead (1968) by Julio S — 20 Dec 2008
This is strange collection of Poe tales I got to catch on TCM. All the writing is in English, with English actors, speaking in English, but is dubbed in French. OK. The doppelganger story was the most interesting to me, followed by the Fonda one, who is just breathtakingly alluring.
Funny, all the reviews I read of this laud the Terance Stamp story, by I just couldn't take it after 20 or so minutes, and this final one did run particularly long. I guess I'd find it interesting if I was as high as the surreal atmosphere was.
I as just as uninterested as Stamp was at the awards. I just fast forwarded through it.
