would've eaten it to the core before it hit the floor?
ShankS

even a core on the floor would be just enough to test her patience.

ShankS
06-30-2004, 03:24 AM
she was married, i think the strictness came about from years of kids playing up.
one thing though, if you were ok to her, she was a reasonably nice teacher, with a nasty side.
........anyway onto val lewton

I am not aware of this director,but it was mentioned about Cat People?
Which version did he direct?
Please excuse my ignorance.
I actually liked both,but preferred the b&w original version.
And I watched The Munsters all the time-great TV.

thats because most people spend their time in 'general' in the 'stream of conciousness' thread or bitching at each other.
after all .. isnt that what horror films are all about ? :rolleyes:

he was the producer of the films, the director was jacques tournier
in that period the Producer was often the BIG NAME - not hte direcotr, the shift occured more in the 50s and early 60s with folks like Hitchcock, Ford and Hawkes. . . even Dracula was "CARL LAEMMLE Jr. PRESENTS" more than "Todd Browning"
