Beauty #2 (1965) *
Edie Sedgwick, so memorable in "Poor Little Rich Girl", and so boring here, one of the worst Andy Warhol films ever.
Vinyl (1965) *
Plenty of homoeroticism, but no nudity in this pointless Andy Warhol's experiment. Only memorable for Edie Sedgwick.
Tokyo Olympiad (1965) ***
Snow (1965) *****
Gamera (1965) ***
Probably the campiest of all Japansese monster movies. Dialogues are worthy of Ed Wood Jr.
The Great Race (1965) ***
A huge improvement over "Around The World In 80 Days" (1956), this Blake Edwards' comedy about a car race from New York to Paris (via Alaska and Siberia) has its weak moments, but benefits from two excellent songs and bravura comic performances by Jack Lemmon and Natalie Wood.
Help ! (1965) ***
Fire Of Waters (1965) *
Ten Second Film (1965) *
Insignificant 10-second film consisting of leader fragments. Directed by Bruce Conner.
Laurel And Hardy's Laughing Twenties (1965) ***
Unlike Robert Yougston's earlier compilation documentaries (which presented wide selections of silent comedies from Mack Sennett's Keystone Kops to Buster Keaton and Harry Langdon), this one concentrates on Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy - two of the greatest Hollywood comics. It includes following fragments:
1:42-2:56 "Fatty's Fatal Fun" (1915). A typical comedy in the Keystone mode.
2:56-3:41 "Kill Or Cure" (1923).
3:41-4:35 A bedroom farce (1926, Roach) with Oliver Hardy (solo) as a fiddler.
4:35-5:16 "45 Minutes From Hollywood" (1926, F.Guiol, Roach). Mayhem in a hotel. Stan plays a guest, Ollie - a hotel detective.
5:16-6:10 "Sugar Daddies" (1927, Fred Guiol, Roach). Ollie is a butler trying to remove Stan's hat.
6:10-13:17 "Putting Pants On Phillip" (1927). Stan, dressed in a Scottish kilt, chases after girls. The conclusion of this film is presented in "Four Clowns" (1969).
16:29-25:12 "From Soup To Nuts" (1928).
28:21-29:40] A brief fragment of "Call Of The Cuckoo" (1927). Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Charley Chase and James Finlayson are inmates in an asylum. Another excerpt from this film is shown later.
29:40-32:38 A Charley Chase comedy. Waiting for his girl, he constantly bumps into a woman with a suitcase.
32:38-34:15 Max Davidson is a gardner, his neighbour - a poultry farmer.
34:15-43:06 "Wrong Again" (1929).
46:19-49:46 Charley Chase sneezes at passengers in a trolley car. Later, he saves a man's life by pushing him in all directions.
49:46-1:07:40 "The Finishing Touch" (1928).
1:10:51-1:17:25 "Call Of The Cuckoo" (1927). Max Davidson's new house has running water, leaping electricity, magic carpets, collapsible bathtubs and other inconveniant appliances. Hilarious comedy, a brief sequence of which is shown earlier in this film.
1:17:25-1:35:07 "Liberty" (1929).
1:38:21:1:42:22 "Dumb Daddies". Max Davidson carries a mannequin in a bag and everyone suspects him of murder.
1:42:22-1:44:04 "Double Whoopee" (1929).
1:44:04-1:45:15 "Leave 'Em Laughing" (1928, C.Bruckman, Roach). Stan and Ollie suffer from hilarity, but police officer Edgar Kennedy isn't amused.
1:45:15-1:52:45 Brief bits from "Two Tars" (1928), "Habeas Corpus" (1928, Leo McCarey, Roach) and others.
