THE AMSTERDAM KILL (1977)

same director as ENTER THE DRAGON, but this is kinda crappy. police eliminate drug dealers, the end.

Robert Mitchum is bored throughout... pre-comedy Leslie Neilsen is just forgettable... music is LOUD, dialogue is quiet and muffled... had to watch with subs on to catch everything said, and this is the official bluray release

Most remarkable thing for me was how not one single line of dialogue was replicated accurately in the subs?

at one point Mitchum is asked where a certain character is... he responds "He's in Hong Kong", but the subtitles say "I don't know where he is"  waaat

Today is the anniversary of Israel's ( accidental?) attack on the USS Liberty. Rather than drag that whole debate out, I'd just note that after that and North Korea capturing the USS Pueblo, the navy very wisely stopped using lightly armored boats as spaces to collect information and instead employed submarines, land based stations, and planes.

Whether you think it was a mistake or on purpose, those guys were sitting ducks out in the open in the ocean.

My ride up there on the Acela train was fine. Also, the cars were freezing cold they couldn't figure out how to turn the AC off or even down. The bathroom looked like everyone on the whole train had used it which they probably had.

Dr. Whom, you may well be right. Hcp from this era appears quite rare on Letterboxd but maybe more normcore hcp existed back in the day and no one who saw it cared to brag about it or hold onto their prints. 

Well, about 10 years ago one of the last traditional porn cinemas of Brussels closed, and it turned out that the owners had literally never thrown anything away. So you had piles of posters and photos and lobby cards, and reels upon reels of movies going back to the 70s. It has been dubbed 'le nécropole du porno' and an exhibition was set up with the material. But it is highly exceptional that this stuff has been kept. There were many cinemas like that, but these simply chucked everything away when it was no longer needed.

Hmmm, are Albert Arthur Allen's photos errr preserved on the internet?    He certainly had an eye for pulchritude.

Very much so! I discovered him through Deviantart, so if you have an account there https://www.deviantart.com/cheyennespirit/art/Albert-Arthur-Allen-A-Day-in-the-Harem-Set-1-1012794528

definitely NSFW!

I'm pretty sure the movie was made in parallel with this set. I find his photos have a more modern feel, contrary to a lot of early 20thC photographers who looked back to Victorian academic conventions.
