TV Double Feature:
Blacula (1972) Vampire cheapie is made slightly more interesting by its ethnic setting and lovely Denise Nicholas. Provides the unique spectacle, never again repeated to my knowledge, of a cruising gay black vampire. Cameo by Elisha Cook Jr. as a needlessly one-handed morgue attendant - the kind of deal where one sleeve has to be four inches longer because he's got a prop prosthesis on over his hand - who unfortunately does not re-appear as a needlessly one-handed vampire morgue attendant as I had hoped after his demise. Worth seeing once so you can say you did. 4/10
Some Girls Do (1969) British-made attempt to re-introduce 1930s action hero Bulldog Drummond as a swinging super-spy opposed by a feeble villain and a dozen robotized bikini babes with artificial brains. Even Robert Morley's five minutes onscreen are uninteresting, thanks to the aimless script. Minor distraction is provided by mediterranean locations and the mildly diverting sight of young women of average figure in bright orange bathing suits carrying machine guns. A sleep aid. 2/10
