I am planning a more in depth overview of this beautiful film that plays like a surrealist opera, with extravagant choreography and fantastic art and visual design. Massive quasi Sumerian /Deco sets by Art Director Van Nest Polglase and set direction by Thomas Little. A stunning score by Max Steiner
Costume Design by Aline Bernstein and Harold Miles
Randolph Scott plays Leo Vincey the descendant of his identical looking ancestor who claims to have visited an ancient lost land over 500 years ago, where exists the secret of immortality within the eternal flames of a mystic fire. Over seen by an immortal Queen called ‘She’ the entrancingly beautiful Helen Gahagan
Vincey sets out with family friend Horace Holly, the wonderful Nigel Bruce to discover this mysterious legend, taking along with him as well, the beautiful Tanya Dugmore (Helen Mack), a guide’s daughter.
They struggle through the frozen terrain of the Russian arctic, until they stumble upon Kor, the hidden civilization brutally reigned over by the vicious Queen She. Once She sets her sights on Leo, she believes that it is her beloved John Vincey, her long lost lover who left her behind 500 years ago!
“From H. Rider Haggard’s weird, wondrous story of the beautiful woman who bathed in flame and lived 500 years .. at last to find her first love at this very hour!”
Dave has a brief fling with a sexy fan who calls his radio program and asks him to “Play Misty For Me” Unfortunately this one night stand between savvy playboy disc jockey and an obsessed female fan turns into a nightmarish game of cat and mouse.
Spirally toward a deadly climax once another woman enters the picture.
The story is by Jo Heims, (You’ll Like My Mother 1972, Nightmare in Badham County 1976 and uncredited for Dirty Harry 1971)
Directed and starring that guy with the satin toned whispering voice, Clint Eastwood, as Dave, Jessica Walteras the psychotically iconic Evelyn Draper and Donna Mills as Dave’s love interest, Tobie.
Original soundtrack by Dee Barton and great use of Roberta Flack’s timeless song The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. Predating Adrian Lyne’sFatal Attraction, Walter’s portrayal of an obsessive psychopath is absolutely stunning. Truly one of the most memorable thriller’s in film history!
Director Robert Fuest creates an atmosphere of nihilism and dread in this classic 70s horror film starring the brawny brow Ernest Borgnine as Jonathon Corbis/Satan, Eddie Albert as Dr. Sam Richards, Ida Lupino as Mrs Preston, William Shatner as Mark Preston, Keenan Wynn as Sheriff Owens, Tom Skerritt as Tom Preston, Joan Prather as Julie Preston, Woody Chambliss as John and a young John Travolta as Danny.
Set in the American rural landscape a group of Satanists create a legion of eyeless followers who worship a goat headed devil, and threaten to banish all who disobey to dwell inside a large blown glass bottle, amidst perpetual rain of the woes and tortures of hell upon them. This ‘rain’ has the ability to melt it’s victims, as if they were made out of play-doh!
The Preston family has been broken apart by the cult, some of the remaining family members go on a mission to destroy the cult, and force their way directly into the pits of this hellish nightmare to wreak revenge upon Mr Goat Head and his legion of empty eye socket devotees.
Perhaps considered laughable at the time, I saw the theatrical release at my local drive in on Long Island, and am not afraid to admit that I was scared shitless by the images of the no eyed victims. Even John Revolta who had just come off the Welcome Back Kotter craze appeared truly terrifying to me at the time. Still does for different reasons not mentioned here…
I just love this film, for it’s unique, and utterly creepy manifest, with it’s great cast and an unforgiving campiness that makes it memorable and fun to watch. Borgnine has a streak of sardonic charm in many of his acting roles, so seeing him don the goat horns and fiendish snout is precious!
“There have been films about earthquakes, airplane disasters and blazing infernos but there has never been anything like… The Devil’s Rain”
“The 300 year old search to damn mankind is over…and the towering terror of the devil on earth is now unleashed!”
Happy Trailers-’come in out of the rain’-MonsterGirl
