(1938) Evelyn Venable, Craig Reynolds, Reed Hadley, John Kelly. A woman is shocked when she discovers her husband is the head of a truck-hijacking ring.

Armchair Fiction presents a new line of “Scandalous Classics,” featuring the works of Florence Stonebraker.  FLESH IS WEAK is another well-crafted tale of steamy lust, seedy men and women, despicable conduct, overt sexual permissiveness, and unabashed vice!  “Flesh is Weak” is another Stonebraker gem.  It's the story of a lustful teenage girl who was blinded by her passion for seedy men...

(1955) Orhan Erçin, Zafer Önen, Türkan Samil, Özcan Tekgül, Mirella Monro.  This really isn’t much of a movie, yet somehow it kind of works (5.5 on IMDB).  There’s a flying saucer, a dorky robot, an elixir of life, and a plethora of cheesy alien dames who have come to Earth looking for…you guessed it…men!  And who do they find?  

(1959) Ken Takakura, Kenji Imai.  This is a terrific film about a mad killer on an airliner.  The film’s initial exposition is great as we get to know all the various passengers who are boarding the plane. The killer, who has just murdered three people, then boards with a gun in hidden in his pocket (no security screening back then).  When one of the passengers discovers his identity, the killer holds the plane at bay (in flight) and threatens to kill anyone who refuses to obey him...

(1967) Andre Reybaz, Georges Douking, Francois Vibert, Magali Noel, Francoise Winskill.  This is a fantastic film filled with a plethora of haunting Images.   It is almost too deep to describe in a simple synopsis.  Let it suffice to say that the story deals with a gem-carver in old Prague who becomes entangled in a web of murder plots and other strange supernatural happenings...

(1961) Bill Travers, William Sylvester, Christopher Rhodes, Bruce Seton, Vincent Winter.  THIS IS AN ORIGINAL, FACTORY SEALED VCI VHS pre-record and our quantity is limited.  This is a kind of British version of Godzilla.  Scientists capture a towering prehistoric monster and bring it back to London...

The second tale is another great Edgar Wallace thriller, “The Clue of the Twisted Candle.”

(1970) Patty Cakes, Chaz, Pamela Des Barres, Miss Harlow, Goldie Glitters.  This is a fairly obscure documentary about the well-known rock 'n' roll groupies of the late ‘60s.  It’s a fascinating look into the lives of rock and roll’s fringe players, and the depiction is not always a pretty one.  Look for shots of the infamous Plaster Casters...

(1958) Boris Buzancic, Djurdja Ivezic, Antun Vrdoljak, Vanja Drach.  This highly unique thriller centers around two vehicles—a bus and a truck—that are speeding towards each other along a wet, narrow two-lane highway on a stormy night.  Right from the start we learn that the two vehicles will eventually collide because of the actions of a reckless driver.  It’s even pointed out which seats will spell death for their occupants...

(1983) Pip Donaghy, David Gwillim, Lila Kaye, Ron Pember, Merelina Kendall.  This six-part, two-disc mini-series is a vivid retelling of the classic H. G. Wells story and probably comes the closest to the Wells original than any other screen version.  Donaghy is superb as Griffin, the man destined to go mad because of his own fantastic discovery...

(1964) Jim Davis, Don 'Red' Barry, Margo Woode, R. Wayland Williams, Tris Coffin.  An inexperienced army lieutenant grabs five volunteers for a dangerous mission from which they may not return.  Their task is simple:  take out the North Korean mortar position that's been pounding U.S. supply convoys and preventing them from reaching the troops at the front line...

(1969) Jürgen Jung, Paul Albert Krumm, Hans-Dieter Jendreyko, Ilona Grübel, Hertha von Walther.  Revising history, this film portrays a 19th century landscape where vampires have taken over the world.  Even worse, these vampires are immune to the rays of the sun and have become a twisted form of aristocracy.  But a brave group of humans plan a daring revolt...
