Just saw a cool 1961 Italian war film The Brigand directed by Renato Castellani at Film at Lincoln Center. It is the full three hour cut of the film that was censored when it came out. Great cinematography of a peasant uprising and the Italian countryside:

The Hound of the Baskervilles (the Sherlock Holmes novel) is sort of insane lol. imagine if they suddenly killed off Columbo and then a decade later brought him back with an elaborate Gothic horror story where he has to investigate a pedophile-killing demon hound from Hell
