Great Moments In Cinema #37: Danger Diabolik
One of my favorite Italian movies showed up in my mailbox stoday. It ain't no Fellini or Antonioni or any of that stuff: it's Mario Bava's "Danger: Diabolik" from 1968. Based on the famous European comic, and starring John Philip Law and Marisa Mell, this is maybe the best comic book adaptation ever. With certainly one of Ennio Morricone's coolest scores.
The DVD, which I have yet to watch, features the restored English language tracks, a new anamorphic widescreen transfer and a few goodies--all big improvements on the old laserdisc. Can't wait to crack this thing open.
