70's Rock and Roll Fantasy: Oz (1976) - Part 10 (Finale)






Oz (1976) - Part 10 (Finale)

A film from 1976 that takes "Wizard Of Oz" to a new level - Dorothy is a simple hippie chick trying to get to a rock concert, Oz. And "The Scarecrow" is a "biker" - the good faily is a "drag queen"! Love it!

(aka Oz - A Rock 'n' Roll Road Movie also released as 20th Century Oz in United States) is a 1976 Australian film written, directed and co-produced by Chris Löfvén.[1] It stars Joy Dunstan, Graham Matters, Bruce Spence, Gary Waddell, and Robin Ramsay; and received four nominations at the 1977 AFI Awards.[1] The musical score is by Ross Wilson (frontman for Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock).[1] The plot is a re-imagining of the 1939 The Wizard of Oz film transferred to 1970s Australia and aimed at an older teen / young adult audience. It was released on DVD in 2004 as Oz - A Rock 'n' Roll Road Movie : Collector's Edition with additional material.[2]

Dorothy (Joy Dunstan) is a sixteen-year-old groupie riding with a rock band, Wally (Graham Matters) and the Falcons. Suddenly, the van is in a road accident, and she hits her head. She wakes up in a fantasy world as gritty and realistic as the one she came from and learns she killed a young thug in the process. A gay clothier, Glin the Good Fairy (Robin Ramsay), gives her a pair of red shoes as a reward to help her see the last concert of the Wizard (Matters), an androgynous glam rock singer. She is pursued by the thug's brother (Ned Kelly) who attempts to rape her on several occasions. She also meets a dumb surfer Blondie (Bruce Spence), a heartless mechanic Greaseball (Michael Carman), and a cowardly biker Killer (Garry Waddell).

70's Scary Left Overs: "Two on a Guillotine" (1965) - Part 12 (Finale)






"Two on a Guillotine" (1965) - Part 12 (Finale)

This is a film I saw a kid back in the early 70's when it hit television. It entertained and frightened the heck out of me - it wasn't the guillotine though...it was the rabbit! :)

It is a gothic thriller. Moves a bit slow in the middle, but well worth it - the ednding has a great twist that will have you grasping onto your senses!

Duke Duquesne, is a very eccentric magician and due to his lifestyle his two-year-old daughter is sent away to live with an aunt (living there for the next twenty years). News of her father's death brings Cassie Duquesne back to Los Angeles to attend his funeral. The following day, she is told he left a rather odd will. She will inherit her father's estate on the condition that she stay in his creepy palatial mansion for seven nights in a row - alone.

Directed by William Conrad (Yes, from "Jake and The Fatman")

Starring Connie Stevens, Dean Jones, Cesar Romero, Parley Baer, Virginia Gregg, Connie Gilchrist

70's Mystery: "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane" (1976) Part 10 (Finale)






"The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane" (1976) - Part 10 (Finale)

This is not a slasher or horror film - it is a mystery that I thought was great in the mid-70's. It will give a new meaning to almond cookies for you.

Rynn Jacobs is a thirteen-year-old girl who lives in a secluded house that she and her father have rented in a quiet seaside community. But whenever anybody from the town tries to satisfy their curiosity, Rynn's father is never around, and it seems as if the girl is all alone. Rynn's resourcefulness is put to the test as several people try to find out what she might be hiding, including the snobby landlady and her sleazy son.

Directed by Nicolas Gessner

Starring Jodie Foster, Martin Sheen, Alexis Smith, Mort Shuman and Scott Jacoby

70's Mystery: "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane" (1976) Part 9






"The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane" (1976) - Part 9

This is not a slasher or horror film - it is a mystery that I thought was great in the mid-70's. It will give a new meaning to almond cookies for you.

Rynn Jacobs is a thirteen-year-old girl who lives in a secluded house that she and her father have rented in a quiet seaside community. But whenever anybody from the town tries to satisfy their curiosity, Rynn's father is never around, and it seems as if the girl is all alone. Rynn's resourcefulness is put to the test as several people try to find out what she might be hiding, including the snobby landlady and her sleazy son.
