Acteurist Oeuvre-view – Lilli Palmer – Part 17: DE SADE (1969) and THE HOUSE THAT SCREAMED (1969)

In this episode of our Lilli Palmer Acteur-ist Oeuvre-view series, we watched a couple of 1969 movies somewhere on the horror spectrum: De Sade, a movie of ideas that doesn't live up to them, written by famed horror/sci fi author Richard Matheson; and The House That Screamed, an Italian slasher with a twist or two to recommend it. Good parts for Lilli Palmer in a couple of seriously silly movies. And in our Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto segment, Fast Times at Ridgemont High leads Elise to go on a weird despairing rant about teenagers and sex (if she does say so herself). Come for the irresponsible opinions, stay for the bumper butt orgies.
