The Glassy Eye By Dave Meile
Friday, 1:30 p.m. ETV ch. 12.
“International house, ” (1933)
W.C. Fields, Bum! and Allen.
A classic wacko comedy where
various screwball types descend on a
giant hotel in “Woo-Hoo" China to bid
on a new invention. W.C. Fields is
hilarious as usual as he lands in his
“auto-gyro" (part airplane, part heli
copter), insults everyone, and mixes a
rather immobilizing scotch and water.
Bela Lugosi in one of his rare comedy
roles, is the jealous Russian Petrono
vich. The invention (a sort of combina
tion big screen TV and satellite dish)
can tune into events from all over the
world. This gives the viewer an eyeful of
strange cameos such as the insufferable
warbling of Rudy Vallee and Baby Rose
Marie. Yes the Rose Marie from the
"Dick Van Dyke Show." The real mind
boggier here is Cab Calloway and his
Harlemmaniacs ripping up with an
utterly twisted jazzer called "Reefer
Man":
‘ ‘Have you ever seen that Fu n ny
Reefer Ma n ?
Oh that funny, funny, funny
Keejer yianr
If he said he swam to China,
wants to sell you South Carolina
Then you knou) you're talkin'
to that Reefer Man!
He smokes a reqfer he gets high
then he flies to the sky
Oh that funny, funny, funny
Reefer Man!
A comedy gem with the usual depres
sion era jabs at the upper class. Also
ideal for taping on your VCR since ETV
runs most films with no breaks. "Inter
national House" has recently been
released on videocassette and is avail
able at Lincoln video stores.
Friday 8 p.m. USA ch. 17.
"The Psychotronic Man,"(1980)
a cast of nobodies.
It’s time for the USA network (owned
by Time Inc. no less) to expand their
film library. I er\joy watching some crap
as much as the next guy, but this is
swill.
A barber from Chicago furrows his
brow. Music pulsates. The director gets
really hyper with the zoom lens. It
turns out the barber has telekinetic
powers and can make otyects fly around.
He kills people. A lady talks about cat
droppings. A cast of non-actors. Watch
it for 20 minutes. I dare ya.
WOWTs Insomniac Theatre.
Friday 5 a.m. WOWT ch. 6.
“TheMummy’s Curse, ”(1944)
Lon Chaney, Virginia Christine.
Long before she played Mrs. Olson
and said cool stuff like ‘‘It’s mountain
grown, da reechest kind," Virginia
Christine was slam dunked in various
goo and gauzes to play Anaka, a female
mummy. She and her 3,000-year-old
beau Kharis (gooey, gauzy, three sheets
to the wind Lon Chaney) rise from the
smelly bowels of the Louisiana swamps
to wreak havoc.
As everyone knows, mummies need to
drink tea brewed from ancient Tana
leaves before they can get motivated.
There's usually a couple of eccentric
priests around to serve it up. Chaney,
tiring of the uncomfortable make-up
and the thankless roles, er\joyed spiking
his Tana leaves with scotch. Whammo!
Disoriented, stumbling, mummy, as
Christine told “Films in Review"
(October 1986) “One day on the back
lot, we were doing this shot in which
the mummy has to carry me up to an old
shrine ... up these steep, crooked
steps. There 1 was with this strap
attached to my waist, around Lon
Chaney’s neck, starting up these steps
— and he is absolutely stoned. Chaney
was just stoned. He was pretty much
throughout the entire picture. We start
up these steps and he's weaving. Finally
the director said ‘Cut!’ and they took
Chaney out of the Mummy suit and put
the stand in into it.’’
The priests are played by Peter Coe
(best friend of cult film auteur Ed
Wood Jr.) and Martian Kosleck, who
made a living out of playing flaky
r... 1
artists and sleazeball Nazis. “The
Mummy’s Curse,” is no classic but
loads of fun anyway. Stoke up the VCR
as usual.
Saturday 10 p.m. USA ch. 17.
“Night Flight "series.
Three or four hours of “Dragnet”
episodes. Forget the new movie, see
Jack Webb get the last word when
dealing with hippies, shoplifters, and
others who dare to be liberal.
WOYVT’s Insomniac Theatre
Saturday 4:45 a.m. ch. 6.
"Invisible Man's Revenge, ”
(1944) Jon Hall, John Carradine.
Hall is the typically wronged man
who, with the aid of scientist Carradine,
becomes invisible and goes after the
crumbs that framed him. With scream
queen Evelyn Ankers, and the great
Gale Sondergaard (who with her hus
band Herbert Biberman) was black
listed by the House UnAmerican Activit
ies Committee.
Jon Hall, was a big cheese at Univer
sal in the '40s and usually wore a
loincloth in films with "Island,” "Pago
Pago” or "Ali Bab” in the title. He quit
films, invested in photographic equip
ment, and made a living loaning it out
to studios. He made a horror stinker
"The Beach Girls and the Monster" in
’64 and suffering from cancer, com
mitted suicide later that year.
"Invisible Man’s Revenge," is not as
good as the '33 classic “The Invisible
Man” (out on video) but my annoying
love for the Universal Studio's horror
flicks of the '30s and '40s compels me
to recommend it. The great special
effects are by the largely unsung John
P. Fulton. Directed by Ford Beebe who
did great serials like "Flash Gordon.”
