MOVIE NIGHTS

Every weekend we're watching movies together...whether you're in Pennsylvania USA, or Sydney Australia. It's a throwback! Back to the days when you had the anticipation for waiting till the weekend to see the classic horror or science fiction film that was listed in the TV Guide. The plan is to watch a movie at 7:30PM on Saturday night in your own time zone. Or, if you can't Saturday night...anytime during the weekend. Then, we'll all get together and e-mail our thoughts on the film...a few paragraphs...or simply a sentence if you'd like. They after-viewing reviews appear first on our Creepy Classics/Monster Bash News Page. See the latest thoughts posted by viewers ther now.

Concept submitted by Mike Adams of Cartaret, New Jeresey.

Saturday April 27, 2013 - MOVIE - Fantasy "SHE" (1935) Starring Randolph Scott, Helen Mack and Nigel Bruce  The story of adventurers that find a hidden land where an evil woman ruler (SHE) commands a real Fountain of Youth. She is "She who must be obeyed!" Randolph Scott, the lovely Helen Mack (SON OF KONG) and Nigel Bruce (Dr. Watson from the classic Sherlock Holmes movies) are the protagonists. A great fantasy with feeling and magic. Suggested by Kevin Slick, Louisville, CO.

Reviews of SHE (1935):

I first saw this story in the later version with Ursula Andres and Peter
Cushing a long time ago. I like this earlier version much better, perhaps
it's the black and white which is more mysterious to me. Helen Mack is
plenty plucky and Randolph Scott is top notch as the good guy with the
chiseled features. I love the art deco sets and overall look of the film.
The various dance scenes are a little over the top I wonder if an aspiring
Martha Graham might have choreographed these scenes. The gigantic sets
look great and over all the special effects work well.

When She makes her
entrance through the smoking door it's brilliant. It's interesting to
think that when this story was originally published it was still in the
era of exploration when the idea that there might be unknown lands in the
remote reaches of the earth were not that strange.

For a Saturday
afternoon matinee film there's a lot going on, the idea of immortality,
the choice of life with all it's joys and sorrows and eventual death over
never ending life is played out with some depth and real emotion from the
characters. This story excited my imagination as a kid when I first saw
it and it's still a fascinating story to consider and a beautiful film to
watch.

SHE is one of those movies that I never actually got to see until I was an adult. I love it. Beautiful, magical sets....warm acting and I thought Nigel Bruce was particullary good. It was great to see him in a role outside of Dr, Watson from the Rathbone Sherlock Holmes series.

This film is a fantasy adventure of the highest degree with everything. Helen Mack is also wonderful in this. You may know her better from SON OF KONG (1933).

I better give this a "thumbs up" or suffer the wrath of "She Who Must Be Obeyed!"

BTW - The colorized version, overseen by Ray Harryhausen, is gorgeous.
