Long before the film version of Pretty in Pink helped broaden The Psychedelic Furs' reach, the much-preferred album version (to me, at least) was the beloved first track on the US release of the Talk Talk Talk album.

First watch: LATE SPRING (Japanese, 1949) is a lovely film that finds a 27-year-old daughter wanting to stay with her father to care for him in their happy home.
Yet she is pushed unwillingly toward marriage due to societal expectations and an interfering aunt.

Richard Butler’s sneering contempt for love matches fierce and furious music in this call for sex.
The punkest post-punk track on the Furs’ 2nd album.
“I don’t want you always
I won’t hold your hand
I won’t give you flowers
I just want to sleep with you.”

Recent watch: MOGAMBO (1953).
White moviemakers go from Hollywood to Africa to make a tedious film about white people involved in a shallow love triangle in Africa.
It has a few interesting moments—see on-location filming—but stock footage is jarring.
Definitely not John Ford’s best.

Perhaps the darkest track The Psychedelic Furs ever recorded.

Or was in just symbolism?

Rewatch: THE BAT (1959).
A steel-clawed, masked killer stalks a country mansion where a mystery author and companion are staying—and where $1 million in stolen loot may be hidden.
Not terribly scary, but it has atmosphere, wit—and Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead.

First watch: NIGHTMARE (1964), a Hammer #horror film.
I’m forgiving of the somewhat muddled plot because:
✅ It’s Hammer!
✅ It has a creepy house with shadowy figures lurking in corridors
✅ The lighting and cinematography are wonderful
✅ Themes of insanity thicken the plot
