Spaghetti Eastern

Неуловимые мстители (a.k.a. The Elusive Revengers) 1966.

Amazing poster. The roll of film-as-gun cylinder is straight out of Tarantino territory, but I suspect he’s already seen it, has an original print of the film, and knows enough of the subgenre to host a three-day film festival.

Raymond Chandler in the 1970s.

Fifty years ago today:

I can confidentially state that Twilight Zone has been more of an influence on me than any other bit of pop culture. It’s also one of the first television programs I can remember watching. Some kids had Scooby Doo, others had Rod Serling and Jack Webb… usually found weeknights on KTLA starting at 11:30pm.
