Dead Man's Eyes (1944)

"I wouldn't be surprised if this man were insane. He wouldn't be the first one who'd gone mad studying the processes of the mind."

"Precisely, Captain. I compliment you on your sagacity."

"You know, it's people like you that have caused me to steer clear of all this book psychology."

Universal's saddest lump of clay Lon Chaney‚ back doing what he does best (having a dreadful time)#he starts off in high spirits here; he's got it all‚ a career as an up and coming artist‚ a devoted model‚ a loving fiancee and her #moneybags patron father‚ and best of all he has a little shelf on which he keeps his big bottle of eyewash next to his identical big bottle #of acid. truly what more could a man ask for. but what's that... no Lon! surely not! whoever could have foreseen such a tragic incident..#so yeah Lon loses his eyes‚ then gets new eyes but may have murdered to get them. cue classic did he didn't he shenanigans and the usual #absurdly dickish cop poking in his nose and basically bullying everyone. high melodrama nonsense but for the first time this film shows #some cracks around the edges; the cast are more variable than in the previous films‚ with Acquanetta stilted and monotone while Ed Fielding #goes too far the other way as a constantly shouting and gesticulating father figure. outside of Lon‚ Gomez is probably the best value #and seems to be having genuine fun as the asshole investigating the case. not quite as good as sanctums 1 and 2 and with a touch more #chauvinism to it (particularly in the way Acquanetta is consistently described as moody or difficult‚ or how all the male characters #discuss Parker's romantic future without her even being present let alone asked) but it still has fun nonsense to be found

In 1965 I was making my first documentary for television. I once titled it Music Makers of the Blue Ridge but these days I title it Bluegrass Roots. I was 23 years old and I was headed to the mountains of North Carolina, to Asheville, to meet with and film 82 year old Bascom Lamar Lunsford. I had written him a letter asking if I could accompany him as he sought talent for his great music and clog dance festival - the Asheville Mountain music Festival which had been going on since 1929! I spent three weeks shooting this film with Bascom and his wife Freda. I was filming with a 16 mm sound camera and a friend carrying a Nagra audio recorder. Bascom told me that he was going to invite a clog dance group to his house In South Turkey Creek North Carolina for a dance demonstration. He said he would roll up the rug in his living room so we could hear the feet as they clogged on the wooden floor. And so this scene happened and I absolutely loved filming it. Although my camera rig was 49 pounds with a battery, I danced with the dancers with glee and recorded one of the best scenes that I have ever filmed. Clog dancing at its best. Local folk. Just having fun. And the musicians? The best in bluegrass or mountain if you want to call it that or old timey if you want to call it that. The musicians included Obray Ramsey and Bascom's relative Ray Lunsford. In one moment you can see me & my camera in the mirror filming the scene. After all these years I still love Mountain music and dance. I have been in touch with several of the performers and some are still alive and some are still dancing in the mountains of North Carolina – the Appalachian mountains – THE center as far as I'm concerned, of spectacular bluegrass and country music. If you have enjoyed watching this clip, please click the super thanks button below the video screen to the right side. It will help keep me going sharing more of my film clips with you. The one hour film ran in the primetime in 1965 and got the cover i've TV Guide with a fabulous review. Today it is considered a classic and I am proud that so many subscribers and others have chosen to watch it – many more than once. Thank you Bascom Lamar Lunsford and all those who appeared with him in my film.

David Hoffman, filmmaker

LECTURE 14: HELP!/BEATLEMANIA AT HIGH TIDE: This segment from the superb documentary Making Sense of the Sixties (directed by David Hoffman) focuses on women in the United States and the Women’s Liberation Movement. It’s a sympathetic portrayal of the movement, and it does a magnificent job of showing the intense level of discrimination and the lack of opportunities facing women in 1970. Start the video around 3:20 for some eye-opening facts and statistics. Also, pioneering radio correspondent Margot Adler’s analysis of women in American society between the mid-1960s and early 1970s (at around the 3:50 point) is absolutely brilliant. Have a look!

Weird Woman (1944)

"Do you realise that you've been turning the hands of the clock back to the Dark Ages?"

"Norman, some things don't belong to any special age. They're a part of everything and of all time. Forces for good and forces for evil. I did nothing to hurt anyone, only to help you and protect you!"
