THE MAGIC SERPENT (1966, WIDESCREEN) Hiroki Matsukata, Tomoko Ogawa, Ryutaro Otomo. In ancient Japan, a good lord is killed and his throne is taken by a treacherous lord and his sorcerer. Years later, a young prince embarks on a quest for vengeance. An epic battle soon ensues between the prince and the sorcerer. Cool. This is a beautiful production and there are enough giant monsters to make anyone happy, including a dragon and a giant frog! The climactic monster battle is rollicking and great fun. In English. Beautiful color, from 35mm.
THE WITCH (1966) Richard Johnson, Rossanna Schiaffino, Sarah Ferrati. A young historian is brought to a magnificent palatial estate to assemble the largely erotic memoirs of a deceased general. There he falls in love with a beautiful witch. Supernatural horror and danger follow in this engaging Euro-horror opus. A classy film, both elegant and moody. 16mm.
