More from underrated maestro Herbert Mason. dcairns.wordpress.com/2024/04/27/sid…
A lovely little pre-war espionage drama in the early Hitchcock mode, starring farceur Tom Walls: STRANGE BOARDERS. Featuring an investigation into potential plagiarism in Henri-Georges Clouzot's first film... dcairns.wordpress.com/2024/04/25/mal…
So All You Need Is Death earned back 5% of its filming budget in the first weekend of release, which is not something many films manage to pull off. If it isn't playing in a cinema near you, please ask them to programme it, they will comply.

I'm devoting a week to looking at Awful British Comedians. dcairns.wordpress.com/2024/04/08/awf…
"a skewed, unnerving vision... much nastier than anything Nick Cave mined from the old murder ballads. Hallucinatory chaos... the less you know about where this film is going, the more the experience will be enhanced." @SightSoundmag on All You Need is Death

@AnneBillson @dcairns @robnitm I don't live in London. Actually, I don't even live in England. The ducks have led me to assume it must be Chinatown, and I've looked up where an alley was there via Google Maps.
@Apujolmas @dcairns @robnitm Brilliant! I guessed it would be somewhere in Chinatown due to the glimpse of wind-dried duck, but was inclining more towards Rupert Court.
How the hell am I supposed to ignore the bear NOW?
@robnitm Anne Billson suggested I ask you. A friend is trying to identify this London location from 1985. Ignore the bear.
@Apujolmas @dcairns @robnitm Exactly where I thought it was.

@dcairns @goonshowpod (Awful British Comedy)
@dcairns @goonshowpod I'm now even curious if they shot on the same sets in typical Carry On reusing whatever's at Pinewood (my fave of those - the Vulgarian castle in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang via some matted-in minarets is the Khazi's Palace in Up the Khyber).
@dcairns @goonshowpod Doctor in Trouble is the most ABC of the Doctor films.
@goonshowpod Weirdly always merge this in my head with A Countess from Hong Kong (as I was saying to @dcairns, both being Pinewood-shot comedies set on ocean liners with Angela Scoular).
