Mike Hodges tells some great De Laurentis stories after collaborating on Flash Gordon.
He witnessed a top-floor office confrontation with a producer turn quietly ruthless as, by the time the producer reached the lobby, his name was removed from the production list on the wall and he was off the film.
During filming of Flash he approached Hodges, through the maze of rainbow-coloured costumed extras, candyfloss sets and "Gordon's ALIVE" dialogue. Pointing to the down-to-earth British crew he asked him, "Mike, why they laugh?"
LOVE that moment in Manhunter; "My next victims. Do.You.See?"
And the very Scottish East coast Brian Cox's "Smell yersel', Will"
Mike - proposed blog project: I post prompts pertaining to cinematic subjects I wish to learn more about, you respond by emptying your incredible cinepaedic mind of all it contains re. said subjects. One-sided, sure, but I'll let you refer to me as your "protégé." Deal? No?
Would you believe - would you believe - I've never once seen Flash Gordon? I know, I know - release the spacehounds, or release the spacebees, or release spacehounds with spacebees in their mouths and when they spacebark they shoot spacebees at you etc.
Love Manhunter though. Haven't seen it for quite some time though. Don't own it. Boo.
It's just the illusion of knowledge, Gerard.
The only reason I remember this is because I spent an age transcribing an interview with him. It's pot-luck really.
Now, must get back to analysing that picture of Jane Fonda in the green mini-dress.
