Hey Presto
SHADOWPLAY (Free subscription) | 26/09/2009
THE MAD MAGICIAN is the second of Vincent Price’s horror flicks, after HOUSE OF WAX (factor in SON OF SINBAD and Uncle Vinnie must be one of the most persistently three-dimensional of actors, for reasons I can’t quite fathom), and despite boasting a story by Crane Wilbur, who scripted the earlier film, and direction by [...]

Herr Future Director
SHADOWPLAY (Free subscription) | 22/09/2009
Here’s Andre De Toth, in De Toth on De Toth, on the famous paddle-ball scene from HOUSE OF WAX ~ Andre De Toth: That shot gave me the only problem with the herd of second-guessers. They all wanted more of it; I didn’t. Bernie Foy knew to get off the stage before the applause dies. Jack Warner [...]

Brained on the Range
SHADOWPLAY (Free subscription) | 22/09/2009
Old movies I have seen projected in 3D: CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON – Jack Arnold HOUSE OF WAX – Andre De Toth THE MAZE – William Cameron Menzies THE STRANGER WORE A GUN – Andre De Toth Another 3D western (on a double bill with the above). I think it was THE NEBRASKAN. That double feature was oddly tiresome apart [...]

Intertitle of 3D Week: The Ninth Day
SHADOWPLAY (Free subscription) | 20/09/2009
Welcome to the Third Dimension! Thank you, Miss Russell, for that technical demonstration. (I’ve never seen THE FRENCH LINE, and so I mainly know of it because I’ve heard Jane Russell complain that the studio wanted her to wear a bikini, and she refused such a scandalous wardrobe, opting instead for a showgirl costume that revealed [...]

Who’s the guy on the left with the strangely extensive head? I’m not sure. Front and centre is the legendary actor, filmmaker and mentalloid Timothy Carey. On the right is a young and distinctly handsome Chuck Buchinski, AKA Charles Bronson. The movie is CRIME WAVE, shot on location in 15 days by Hungarian cyclops Andre De [...]

A dimension not only of sight and sound…

Andre De Toth’s 3D specs. This is a quick heads-up to say that two weeks from Wednesday we’ll be looking at Hitchcock’s journey into the world of stereoscopic vision, the 3D marvel that is DIAL M FOR MURDER. Now, I haven’t been able to source more than a sample of the movie in 3D, but that [...]

The Dirty Half-Dozen
SHADOWPLAY (Free subscription) | 25/06/2009
Roger Corman’s THE SECRET INVASION is a clear fore-runner of Aldrich’s DIRTY DOZEN, dealing as it does with a crack elite squad of crack elite rogue maverick criminals on a top secret utmost importance type mission. For once working for a major studio (well, United Artists), Corman unfortunately wasn’t able to stress the cynical aspects [...]

“War is Hell” has been the operative slogan of combat cinema for the past century. A sister slogan “War is Crime” continues to draw far less cachet for obvious reasons. I can think of only a half dozen films off the top of my head that have explored the relationship as centerpiece. Andre de Toth’s [...]

Day of the Outlaw
Bagatellen (Free subscription) | 02/12/2008
Saddled with one of the more generic names in the genre, Day of the Outlaw largely avoids genre boilerplate thanks to a few choice decisions by director Andre De Toth. Chief among them is his break with the conventional scenery of sagebrush and arroyos, opting instead for alpine Wyoming at the height of winter [...]
