'Urban Ghost Story is the third collaboration between Chris Jones and Genevieve Jolliffe of Living Spirit Pictures, their previous two feature films being The Runner and White Angel.' Has anybody heard of this? Made in 1998. Or how about Faces In The Dark, circa 1960? | ||

Or Goodbye Gemini (1970)? | ||

I saw GOODBYE GEMINI at the cinema! Can't recall much about it, other than that it starred Judy Geeson, about whom I had a bit of a thing... Not seen either of the others but both sound intriguing. | ||

I saw it on DVD a long time ago and thought it wasn't bad. It's a fairly low-buget film. If I remember correctly, Billy Boyd (pre-Lord of the Rings) was in it. | ||

Huw - In Urban Ghost Story. Mick - was it seen as exploitation at the time, Goodbye Gemini? | ||

There are also two documentaries I'm interested in tracking down: The Moon and the Sledgehammer and Legend of the Witches. Has anybody seen these? Both 1970's, I think. | ||

Frank - Goodbye Gemini was certainly marketed as exploitation. We have the trailer here at Probert Towers and it really goes over the top with its emphasis of exploitation elements thrust into the swinging London scene. Castwise it's interesting - Martin Potter had just finished working with Fellini (and would soon work with Norman J Warren on Satan's Slave and Chris Boger on Cruel Passion / Justine) while Judy Geeson had carved quite a reputation for herself as a teen sexpot in movies like Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush and the one where she seduces Rod Steiger the title of which eludes me at the moment. Hope that's helpful! | ||

Thank you, Mr Curtis! It had Claire Bloom in it as well, I think. I saw it many years ago on Channel 4. Probably best not to tell Zed she takes her clothes off in it as he's probably got enough on his mind already. | ||

Judy Geeson, I mean | ||

I remember quite liking Faces in the Dark when I was fourteen and finding it watchable decades later. It's no Vertigo or even Diabolique, though, and less effective than the Boileau-Narcejac imitation Taste of Fear. |
