Title: 1960's film- Killed by Grasshoppers Post by: Ed, Ego and Superego on December 15, 2011, 05:55:25 PM When I was a kid in 1976-1980 in Germany, Armed Forces TV always played a 1960's-70's film where a guy is laying in bed. Someone on the floor above drills a hole in ceiling, drips some goo over him, then he gets killed by insects, possibly grasshoppers.
Does this ring a bell for anyone? -Ed Title: Re: 1960's film- Killed by Grasshoppers Post by: Rev.

And there was a spy vibe happening. Thanks, I'll call it solved.
