The town that dreaded sundown (1976). Filmways Pictures, USA; director: Charles B. Pierce. Horror
thriller about a serial killer in Texas in the 1940s, filmed in a semi-documentary style, based on real events
(the Phantom Killer, who was never caught). ‘R’ rated; the film is considered one of the earliest examples
of the ‘slasher’ genre. Never officially released on DVD, and now apparently in the public domain. A
forgotten classic. 1600ft & 2000ft, scope, colour (Eastman, fading, but not too bad).
Yesterday, today, tomorrow (1963). Compania Cinematografica Champion, Italy/France. Academy
Award for best foreign film. Very entertaining Vittorio de Sicca comedy in three episodes, about three
different women and the men they attract; with Marcello Mastroianni & Sophia Loren (as constantly

print, dubbed into English. 2× 2200ft, scope, colour (Eastman, fading).
