Cinema Retro #21 Available Now
Ed here: I'm not exaggerating. This is the single best issue of Cinema Retro I've ever read. This is only to say that every piece in the issue appealed to my own tastes. But honestly it is packed with so many goodies it's impossible to exaggerate.t
-------------------
Cinema Retro issue #21 is now shipping in worldwide. All subscribers should have the issue in their hands any day. It's our most provocative issue ever, covering some of the most ground-breaking, censor-shattering films in history. Among the highlights:
Raymond Benson examines the legacy of A Clockwork Orange and interviews Malcolm McDowell and Jan Harlan, Stanley Kubrick's assistant and future producer of his films.
John Exshaw looks into the making of Ken Russell's controversial The Devils and explores how the film has been cut and censored around the world since its initial release- and why it may never be released in America or the UK on DVD.
Stephanie Callas celebrates Bertolucci's X-rated classic Last Tango in Paris
Ian Brown looks into Don Siegel's kinky remake of The Killers- the final film of Ronald Reagan.
Mark Cerulli gives us the inside story on the making of John Carpenter's horror classic Halloween
Adrian Smith interviews "The British Marilyn Monroe", Vera Day and attends the reunion of The Avengers cast and crew.
Matthew Field gets personal with directors Michael Winner, Mike Hodges and Ken Russell
Mark Mawston attends the St. Trinian's reunion
Tom Lisanti covers the bizarre story behind the two competing 1965 big screen biopics of Jean Harlow
Dave Worrall takes a sentimental journey and attends the family memorial service for producer Elliott Kastner
Raymond Benson's 10 best films of 1980
Plus the story behind Cinema Sex Sirens, Cinema Retro publishers Dave Worrall and Lee Pfeiffer's new book that pays tribute to the screen goddesses of the 60s and 70s.
Plus the latest DVD, soundtrack and film book reviews
If you are a subscriber, this is your last issue of the season. Please renew your subscriptions ASAP to make sure you don't miss a single issue of the new season, which begins in December. Cinema Retro back issues are fast becoming expensive collector's items- so don't miss any of the excitement. If you haven't subscribed, do so today and get all three issues of Season & (#'s 19, 20 and 21).
We appreciate the support of all of our subscribers, but to ensure that we keep Cinema Retro "pure" and largely devoid of advertisements, please renew your subscription for season 8 (issues #22, 23 and 24) right away! This will ensure that you will not miss an issue. As you may know, out of print copies of back issues are selling for up to $150 each on the collector's circuit. Your prompt support and renewal is much appreciated- and will help us keep the price stable. (We have not raised our cover price in eight years, despite soaring production and postage costs.)
We will still be filling subscriptions for season 7 until issue #22 comes out in December. If you are renewing, just specify your payment is for season 8.
