Podcast appearances and mentions of Stanley H Brassloff

Despite her recent marriage, Jamie remains obsessed with toys and fixated on her absent father. She strays from married life to become a New York City sex worker, nurturing a fantasy of locating her father and earning his approval. Unfortunately for all involved, she succeeds the only way she knows how. A passion project for stand-up-comedian-turned-writer-director Stanley H. Brassloff, Toys Are Not for Children stands out among 70s pop-psychodramas for its unwillingness to cater to any audience whatsoever. 

Welcome back to another episode of the GGtMC!!! This week Todd and Sammy share thoughts on Scarlet Street (1945) directed by Fritz Lang and Toys Are Not For Children (1972) directed by Stanley H. Brassloff and released by Arrow Video!!! Emails to midnitecinema@gmail.com Adios!!! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ggtmc/message

We entered into this show without the guidance of Julie...and we felt her absence...but we persevered and made it through the fire of two VERY problematic and interesting films. We start off with 1970's "The Mind of Mr. Soames" with a great lead performance from Terrence Stamp and directed with flair by Alan Cooke. Based on a novel of the same name, it tells the story of a 30 year old man who's been in a coma since birth who is awoken after a surgery is performed. We then follow the titular character as he is brought through the various stages of human development at a very rapid pace. It is fascinating science fiction and totally worth your time. We follow that up with the real standout this time, the incredibly twisted and dark "Toys Are Not for Children" from 1972. It is one of only two films from Stanley H. Brassloff and we REALLY wish he had gone on to make more. The story is focused on young Jamie Goddard who's parents SERIOUSLY did a number on her. She is now an adult with an unusual series of connections in her brain that link toys, her father and sexuality. It goes there, and it stays there and it really makes you think. This is a strange combination of grindhouse exploitation and art-film. It blew us away and we recommend it highly, but with warnings...there is some deeply problematic stuff in there, but we do think it's worth your time. Let us know what you'd like us to look at next by writing to flickersfrom@yahoo.com or flickersfrom@gmail.com.  You can also reach us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!
