Hammer Horror - Unmade Hammer Part 2

Ep. 59

Cine-Lit continues its adventures in "What If" country as we explore the unmade Hammer projects that were announced, mooted and, in some cases, scripted films, but that languish in the might-have-been archives. In this instalment, we look at the various attempts to bring more vampires back to Hammer with proposed new Count Dracula adventures, an unconventional biopic of Bram Stoker, and attempts to bring to the screen one of the most famous vampires from the world of comics. Also, we talk about the pitch and poster to bring Scotland's most infamous aquatic monster Nessie to the big screen.

The Trouble With Harry (1955) & The Wrong Man (1956)

Alfred Hitchcock made some of the most well-respected films of all time, Vertigo currently tops the Sight and Sound list of the 100 Greatest Films of All Time but what about some of Hitch's lesser works? Adam and Darrell take a look at two films shot and released during a particularly purple patch for the director. In the midst of films like Rear Window, Vertigo, North By Northwest and Psycho, these two films seem to stand out like criminals in an identity parade. One is a black comedy while the other is based on a true story and leans heavily into film noir. Join us as we talk about Harry and Manny in The Trouble With Harry (1955) and The Wrong Man (1956).-This episode was originally issued as a Cine-Lit Patreon Subscriber episode in June 2022.-Check out the Cine-Lit website for additional content and further reading: https://cinelitpodcast.wordpress.com/Edited by Steve Woodward at https://podcastingeditor.com/
