'J 'a ' P H
(1982) Louis Jourdan,
Adrienne Barbeau
Those of my acquaintances who
are comic-book connoisseurs swear
that the DC comic "Swamp Thing"
is top-notch. I, of course, am a
mature, cultured individual with far
loftier pursuits (such as watching
bloodthirsty-giant-rabbit movies)
than indulging in such childish
whims as comic-book reading, so
this movie has yet to do much for
me.
Our hero, the scientist, has some
formula that will save the world.
The villain arrives with armed swamp
thugs and tries to steal the mystical
elixir. Some of the goo spills on our
hero, and he becomes a hideous
rubber-suited guy with a conscience.
He slogs through the bogs, pining
away for his true love and upending
villainous motorboats. Harmless fun
that is neither camp nor frighten
ing. By Wes Craven, director of the
notorious "Last House on the Left"
and "Nightmare on Elm Street."

"Tfie Lost Weekend" (1947)
Ray Milland, Ja ne Wyman
This is the greatest alcoholism
movie ever made. Despite the im
plausible, wimp-out ending, it is
alternately harrowing, melodramatic
and funny in a sadistic sort of way.
Glassy Eye Hall of Fame award to
Frank Faylen for his work as Bim,
the night orderly in the psych wing
of New York's Bellevue State Hospi
tal. Bim prepares Kay Milland for his
impending delirium tremens: "That
stuff about pink elephants .. . that's
the bunk. It's little animals . . . little
funny animals. Little rabbits. Tiny
turkeys in straw hats coming through
the keyholes." Ray is understanda
bly upset.

Roger Corman is probably the
most famous B-film director of the
'50s and '60s, and his influence on
the film industry is staggering. While
many remember his clever low-budget
horror flicks, "Shame" is for my
money one of his most important
films and easily his most socially
conscious.
William Shatner stars as a slimy
racist who invades a sleepy south
ern town and, through numerous
inflammatory speeches, incites the
townspeople to engage in racial
hatred and violence. Dependable
character actor Frank Lovejoy is the
newspaper publisher who tries to
discredit Shatner and is severely
beaten. Later Shatner blackmails
the publisher's daughter into fabri
cating a story about being raped by
a black youth at the town's newly
integrated high school. The youth is
nearly lynched before Shatner's
plans are uncovered.
Filmed in three weeks for $90,000
in Charleston, Mo., with real towns
people giving the film a frightening
authenticity absent from many of
Hollywood's "race" pictures. The
subject of integration was far too
volatile in 1961, and few folks went
to see this film. Corman was terribly
disappointed and went back to mak
ing more lucrative horror and drive
in films.
While Corman is sometimes wildly
overpraised, this is a film for which
he deserves a great deal of credit.

"Assassin of Youth " (1937)
Luana Walters
Little information exists about
the scores of drug-and-sex-exploi-tation
flicks from the '30s and '40s.
All claimed to be "sizzling exposes"
or a film that "dared to tell the
truth!" Some were shown at sleazy
theaters in major cities; others were
shown in small town bars and librar
ies in the name of education. Usu
ally a kid smokes some of the perni
cious weed, has sex, lies to his

parents, kills his parents with a fry
. ing pan and is sent to prison, where
he goes violently insane. If "Assas
sin of Youth" is anything like "Reefer
Madness" "Marijuana, Weed with
Roots in Hell" or ''She Shoulda Said
No," it will be fantastic. I recom
mend it.

"Dangerous Money" (1946)
Sidney Toler, Victor Sen Yung
Sidney Toler (born in Missouri)
squints his eyes and pretends he's
Chinese in one of the last Charlie
Chan films. Victor Sen Yung, star of
"She Demons" and originatorof the
immortal Hop Sing character on
"Bonanza" provides comedy relief.
It's considered one of the worst
Chan films.
Sunday, 3 a.m. WGN, ch. 2.
"Paris Playboys" (1954)
Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall
No, of course they aren't actually
filmed in Paris. The budgets for
Bowery Boys flicks could barely pay
for a tumbler of cappuccino, so
occasionally dem boys probably walk
in front of a grainy film of the Eiffel
Tower. Huntz is mistaken for a
French scientist who discovers fuel
made from sour cream. Sort of a '50s
equivalent of the "Gilligan's Island"
episode where Gilligan discovers a
super-duper glue. It's at least as
moronic. Somewhere in some run
down theaters in the Bowery, people
must have laughed because they
made about 60 of these films. Direc
ted by William "One Shot" Beau
dine, who made films faster than my
mom knits sweaters.
Next week: "The Corpse Grind
ers, " "The Th ing that Wouldn 't
Die" and a Tor Johnson cameo.
