Didn't get anywhere close to completely my write-up of my favourite discovery this month; Mervyn LeRoy's pre-Code drama I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang.
Neither did I get to even start on Álex de la Iglesia's superb horror comedy The Day of the Beast, regrettably.
Fortunately, your host still managed to squeeze in two other unearthed gems which got the Dada Debaser™ treatment; teen horror Mirror Mirror, and another LeRoy winner, Little Caesar.
No notes this month.
