It's a million miles away from James Bond, and Lazenby shines as the grieving father.Brian Schuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463833554200343247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875942433636843700.post-83233244495113096052021-12-17T13:12:41.263-05:002021-12-17T13:12:41.263-05:00He's really good here.

About 6 years ago I spoke to Gary Conway at a con. He was extremely nice and said that he would love to get THE FARMER released but it "was out of his hands for the time being". I wonder sometimes if Bill actually has the rights or he just has the only known 35mm materials on it.

It's time for the likes of Quentin Tarantino,Robert Rodriguez,S. Craig Zahler,Arrow Video,the AGFA,Synapse Films,Grindhouse Releasing,or Shout !

The Whip and the Body is yet another example of a film ahead of its time done in by fickle and cowardly distributors. Cutting the heart out of it and then titling it "What!" goes beyond passive aggressiveness into "let's sabotage this" territory. Fortunately, DVD releases have been far kinder to the film.Brian Schuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463833554200343247noreply@blogger.com
