DON'T MENTION

THE WAR!!!

•GILLIGAN'S ISLAND: SO SORRY, MY ISLAND NOW (1965),

The Castaways are captured by a Japanese sailor who thinks that WWII never ended, and it is left up to Gilligan to save them. The second, and probably most frequent guest star on G.I. was the great VITO SCOTTI, an actor's actor, whose credits “must be as big as the LA phone book”, says BOB DENVER. As a character actor, VITO was always in demand, because he could literally play any part, making each character totally unrecognizable from the other. 25 mins. RM

THIS

WORLD

WAR II

(1976),

We're mighty proud to be presenting this rare, lost '70s classic - never been released on video, dvd, laserdisc, or even on zooetrope. But, having slipped Rupert Murdoch a vast amount of unmarked bills, a nice print has turned up on 16mm film, so, once again, Splodge! saves The Universe. Or so we like to think.

From what we can gauge, if you love this film, you LUUUV it, and if you hate it, you reallly HAYTTTTE it. However, we love it, and we're banking you will too. Miss this, and, we wager, it'll be the dumbest thing you've ever done in your life!

After seeing AT&WWII, never again will you be able to sit through a viewing of THE WORLD AT WAR (no matter how fruity Olivier's narration is).

Often unjustly characterised as "truly weird", "bizarre" et c, et c, one is led to wonder what exactly is wrong with so many people that they cannot see the beauty in a chronological history of the Second World War, using documentary footage, interspersed with excerpts - many quite hilarious, others quite moving - from old Hollywood war movies, all set to covers of Beatles songs, performed by a galaxy of '70s pop stars, with the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic thrown in for good measure. Ah, ya gotta love the seventh decade of the Twentieth Century!

Directed by Susan Winslow, who, previously, in 1975, had produced for Phillipe Mora BROTHER CAN YOU SPARE A DIME - a marriage of '30s newsreel and mostly-Warner-Bros movie footage to gramophone songs of the period - a bit like PENNIES FROM HEAVEN, but as a narrative and narration-free 'jigsaw puzzle' of depression-era imagery.

(Winslow later co-produced - along with George Stevens Jr - the superb documentary GEORGE STEVENS: A FILMMAKERS JOURNEY (1984). Stevens, incidentally, was a commissioned officer who recorded some key moments in the Second World War, some on colour film-stock, including D-Day, the Allied march through Paris, and the opening of the camp at Dachau.

Soundtrack artists include:

AMBROSIA, ELTON JOHN, THE BEE GEES, LEO SAYER, BRIAN FERRY, ROY WOOD, KEITH MOON, ROD STEWART, LEO SAYER, DAVID ESSEX, JEFF LYNNE, LYNSEY DE PAUL, RICHARD COCCIANTE, THE FOUR SEASONS, HELEN REDDY, FRANKIE LAINE, THE BROTHERS JOHNSON, STATUS QUO, HENRY GROSS, PETER GABRIEL, FRANKIE VALLI, TINA TURNER, WIL MALONE & LOU REIZNER.
