Bitter Cinema

First Time on TV!

Promo for NBC’s world premiere of Kubrick’s 2001 in 1977, a film only nine years old at the time. I remember seeing this broadcast (it was an NBC “Big Event“). I also remember the Nielsen ratings for it not being so hot.

Der Verlorene

Cover of the pressbook for Peter Lorre’s first and only directing  job (and return to German cinema) , Der Verlorene. The film was also based on a novel Lorre himself wrote. After the movie bombed in West Germany, Lorre was despondent and thereafter strictly did movies for the paycheck.
