If you were a devotee of late night cable during the 90's there was a couple of things that were a given - soft core sex and Andy Sidaris films. Featuring a bevy of explosions, guns, exotic locals and Playboy Playmates in various states of (un)dress his films are sorely in need of an upgrade from the various budget multi-packs that are out there.
Kino comes to the rescue in May with a Blu of Andy's second film SEVEN from 1979. Featuring the great William Smith, Barbara Leigh (almost Vampirella for Hammer), Susan Kiger and Reggie Nader it will released with it's uncut (!!) 110 min. version intact.
Like Russ Meyer, Andy made most of his movies as an independent, but also like Meyer he did a couple for major studios with SEVEN and his first STACEY being distributed by MGM - which explains its acquisition by Kino (with hopefully STACEY to follow).
I dont think I have seen any of his work but we just need 70's movies in general to make a come back.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that! If you ever curious about Andy the Mill Creek boxset is an excellent starting point and can be had for about 8 bucks. Thanks!
