On David Cairns's Wall

I don't guess you'll be making it to the New York-based retrospective-within-a-retrospective of Universal's 100th and a backroom Siodmak tribute? Some marvelous double features: Uncle Harry and Cobra Woman for the price of Jaws!

    Sounds great, but financially I don't think there's any way. I always thought Cobra Woman really belongs with The Dark Mirror though...

    Leave it to Americans! That said, their pre-code double bills were pretty stunning. Red Dust followed by Safe in Hell. It was like Christmas and Fat Tuesday stuffed in a suggestively-named dessert.

    I'm sure it'll be terrific anyway. There's such a wealth in Siodmak's back catalogue, including rarely-seen stuff like Someone to Remember (which is very Christmassy, actually)...

    That's sitting on my hard-drive, actually, thanks to your article. I'll be viewing in the next few days. But don't tell the government.
