Curtis Harrington Links


Today I am putting in a bunch of stuff related to one of my favourite directors, Curtis Harrington.

Here is a scene from 'Night Tide' 1961, Harrington's first feature film, which features a fantastic performance by fresh-faced sailor Dennis Hopper and equally unusual and astounding ones by Linda Lawson, Gavin Muir and Marjorie Cameron (who you may know from Kenneth Anger's Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome).



And here are the end credits from 'The Cat Creature' a made-for-TV movie from 1973,



There's an interview with Harrington here

and a good profile of the man and his work here

Here is Harrington talking about his film The Killing Kind:






Go Here to see a trailer for the 1977 film Ruby

Here's a trailer for the film 'What's the matter with Helen?'



And here's the first (fiery) part of How Awful about Allan,




Queen of Blood (1966):
