@TurnbullMartin What a fantastic picture. It has a mystical quality - a dream of a cinema in the small, silent hours of the night. I want it as a poster.

Martin Scorsese on his admiration for Mario Bava's "K!||, Baby... K!||!" (1966):

"I’ve kept going back to Mario Bava’s films throughout the years, and the ones I love never disappoint me: 'Black Sunday' (1960), 'Blood and 'Black Lace' (1964), the “Wurdulak” section of 'Black Sabbath' (1963), 'Lisa and the Devil' (1973). I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen 'K!||, Baby... K!||!' (1966) and, every time, it casts the same spell. It’s a genuinely hypnotic piece of filmmaking, and it goes into a deeply unsettling direction that many filmmakers with bigger budgets and far greater resources have tried for and few have managed to sustain, or even find.

At this point, I want to add that the strangely discordant American titles of some Bava pictures only add to their dream-like disorientation. When 'K!||, Baby . . . K!||!' came out here, the title led me to expect ’60s Bond sub-genre guys in shades riding around in convertibles and models in bikinis—pretty much anything but a 19th century gothic tale set in a Transylvanian castle."

(Martin Scorsese's foreword to "Mario Bava: All the Colors of Dark", Tim Lucas, 2007)

P.S: On this day, 60 years ago, "K!||, Baby... K!||!" (1966) premiered in Turin, Italy.

In memory of the eternally ethereal Vivien Leigh, who passed this day 7/8/1967.
Shown here in bits from "Waterloo Bridge", the bittersweet film that showcases her stunning beauty combined with romance and tragedy.
