THE BLUE PANTHER (1965) Marie Laforet, Francisco Rabal, Akim Tamiroff, Charles Denner. A lady is traveling by train when a stranger entrusts her with an ornament shaped like a tiger with ruby eyes. She doesn’t know that the jewels are fakes and contain a virus powerful enough to destroy mankind. The evil Doctor Kha is trying to get his hands on it, which will let him blackmail the rest of the world. Cool sci-fi with a James Bondish feel. Aka Marie-Chantal vs.Dr. Kha. Nice color, from 16mm. FORTRESS OF THE DEAD (1965) John Hackett, Connrad Parkham, Ana Corita. An obscure ghost thriller not listed in many reference books. A WW2 vet returns to Corregidor. He is haunted by the ghosts of his former battalion. His guilt soon draws him to the sealed-up bunker where his dead comrades await him. An eerie supernatural thriller with a great climax. Very underrated. From 16mm
