SYMPTOMS (1974) dir. José Ramón Larraz Helen has invited her friend Anne from London to stay with her at her isolated country mansion, despite it being run-down and Helen only occupying a few of its numerous rooms. Helen’s instability becomes increasingly apparent to Anne, but her concern about her friend’s wellbeing gives way to broader questions that plague her about the strange behaviour of Helen’s staff, strange noises in the house and unanswered questions about a previous house guest.

there should have been a hammer version of the picture of dorian gray with shane briant as dorian (again, yes, but good this time), peter cushing as basil, madeline smith as sibyl vane, and christopher lee as lord henry

#SORRY #thinking a kind of creeping flesh dynamic as a result of the casting somehow? so maybe another contender for sibyl could be #lorna heilbron? or maybe vanessa howard because she was SO underused in the awful briant adaptation it was criminal. as much as he was #himself. christ

uh the funniest coincidence I have discovered whole day： AV was in one of BBC Play of the Month episodes which is called “I Have Been Here Before” (written by J. B. Priestley) in 1982 where he played an unhappy husband lost his wife to someone else, I have discovered the actress played his wife is Lorna Heilbron (Anna Grant’s actress... well I had seen another Play of the Month episode where she played opposite to Jeremy Brett in “Love's Labour's Lost”, imho she was kind of stiff in it, I don’t think she was very much of an actor in that episode, tho). AND PD played the same role as AV did, the husband character, but only in a different production (1985, at Towngate Theatre)  

#av as in valentine #pd as in paul darrow #for the clarification #for the context the actress i mentioned played a somewhat... similar situation to what pd did in b7 #if any of my mutuals haven't watched b7

Symptoms — A film by Joseph Larraz

A young woman is invited by her girlfriend, who lives in an English country mansion, to stay there with her. The estate, however, isn’t quite what it seems–and neither is the friend who issued the invitation.

Directed by José Ramón Larraz (as Joseph Larraz). Produced by Jean L. Dupuis. Written by José Ramón Larraz (as Joseph Larraz), Stanley Miller and Thomas Owen (story). Music by John Scott. Cinematography by Trevor Wrenn. Edited by Brian Smedley-Aston.

Angela Pleasence as Helen, Peter Vaughan as Brady, Lorna Heilbron as Anne, Nancy Nevinson as Hannah, Ronald O'Neil as John, Marie-Paule Mailleux as Cora, Mike Grady as Nick (as Michael Grady), Raymond Huntley as Burke.

The restoration of José Larraz’s Symptoms, now made available on BFI Blu-ray/DVD, returns a lost gem to the British horror canon. It was previously only available in shoddy bootlegs that did little for the film’s oppressive atmosphere, so the restoration finally gives us a chance to savour the film’s peculiarities in all their offbeat glory.

Unexpectedly chosen as an official British entry at the Cannes festival of 1974, it’s a creepy, modern gothic tale, as inspired by Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960) as it is by Repulsion (the more obvious comparison). Set in an English country house, where a neurotic woman (Angela Pleasence) has invited her girlfriend to stay, it’s a slow burner but John Scott’s excellent score and Larraz’s sparse but effective use of shock tactics (a face at a window; a briefly glimpsed figure at the edge of the frame that really shouldn’t be there) ensure a mounting sense of dread. Pleasence steals the show but is capably assisted by Lorna Heilbron as the new object of her twisted affection and Peter Vaughan as the reddest herring in 70s British cinema, a brooding handyman who knows more than he’s letting on.

Napoleon And Love: Rose (1.1, Thames, 1974)

"I think you yourself were in some way connected with Robespierre?"

"I was on his brother's staff, for a time."

"A pity. For your career."

"I was posted to his staff."

"Still, a pity. Oh, I know you're a soldier and not a politician..."

"I am becoming a politician."

Fair to say I know shamefully little about napoleon apart from a few broad strokes painted by popular culture (the film #Waterloo and Time Bandits which reused Holm in the role mostly). The napoleon in this first episode is almost unrecognisable from the image #I had in my head: young uncomfortable slightly nervy. Holm immerses himself in the part and it's a very thorough and three dimensional #Performance (despite the horrible wig he has to wear). Also quite unlike the popular image is Josephine played wonderfully by #Billie Whitelaw: her TV work was relatively rare but always something special. She's scheming and calculated and totally utterly false #But somehow totally likeable with it at the same time. She's a woman whose whole life has been dictated by external forces #Be they a matched marriage or political turmoil or waning fortune and she has clearly chosen to play life at its own game and wring it #For everything she can. And yknow. Good for her. Mckenna is always a delight and he looms large over the political machinations here with a #Quiet word or subtle look in the right direction. A very promising opener and I'm excited to see how it develops
