THE 5,000 FINGERS OF DR. T (1953) & KWAIDAN (1964)
New Beverly Cinema Los Angeles, CA
Sunday, Dec. 11, 2011:
The Wright Stuff III: Movies Edgar Has Never Seen
'Far Out & Far East'
Evening hosted by Edgar Wright, Patton Oswalt & John Landis!
THE 5,000 FINGERS OF DR. T 1953, USA, 92 minutes, 35mm, Sony Pictures Repertory Directed by Roy Rowland Produced by Stanley Kramer Written by Dr. Seuss and Allan Scott Starring Tommy Rettig, Mary Healy, Hans Conried, Peter Lind Hayes 7:00 pm
PLUS, on the same double feature:
KWAIDAN 1964, Japan, 161 minutes, 35mm, Janus Films Directed by Masaki Koybayashi Starring Rentaro Mikuni, Keiko Kishi, Michiyo Aratama, Misako Watanabe, Tatsuya Nakadai In Japanese with English subtitles 9:00 pm
This is a double feature: your ticket admits you to BOTH films!
The box office opens approx. 30 minutes before the first film and then re-opens shortly before the second film for those who wish to only see the second film.
If you wish to only see the second film and purchased ticket(s) through Brown Paper Tickets, you will be able to claim your ticket(s) to the second film about 10 minutes before the second film starts.
It's a double bill of Technicolor and Eastman color glories as we journey into the dreams of Dr. Seuss and emerge into some fevered Japanese nightmares. In my near four decades as a film fan, I've seen THE 7 FACES OF DR. LAO and THE FIVE FINGERS OF DEATH, but never the many digits of Dr. T. On the second half of the bill is the phantasmagoric KWAIDAN, an expressionistic and hugely influential ghost anthology that was nominated for 'Best Foreign Language Film' in 1965. Can't wait.
Evening hosted by Edgar Wright, Patton Oswalt & John Landis!
