Currently, I am studying Spanish so I can get through more Franco flicks that have not been subtitled or dubbed. Wish me luck.

It's in French with no English options, The film has long dialogue scenes with many characters in a complicated plot unfolding over years. So, I can't follow it at all. Francesco mentioned the possibility of an English dub. I don't think it has appeared on R1 or US home video yet. I'd like to see it in English. Contact Francesco Cesari. He knows.Robert Monellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06309327472702575547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30886366.post-78506983997305960692008-01-06T10:22:00.000-05:002008-01-06T10:22:00.000-05:00Kaya: There's also WW 2 era documentary footage of...Kaya: There's also WW 2 era documentary footage of Hitler and Nazi rallies in ELSA, I haven't seen HELLTRAIN in years so I can't remember if it's the same. The other film you mention has footage in OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES and the Spanish version, if you're referring to Alfredo Rizzo's I GIARDINI DEL DIAVOLO ( a 1971 Italian war epic) and is also used for stock war footage in WAR SONG, which has other war footage from other Eurocine product also. It all gets very confusing.Robert Monellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06309327472702575547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30886366.post-71394303687271844772008-01-06T07:52:00.000-05:002008-01-06T07:52:00.000-05:00Thanks for the great write up of a not so great fi...Thanks for the great write up of a not so great film. While certainly not a great flick, this is the kind of stuff I really enjoy watching when in a Eurocine mood. <BR/>As an aside, I love the new design for the blog and I'm looking forward to another year of groovy posts. <BR/><BR/>Ah, and thanks for the promotion from the trenches-I think I'll have some fun stuff to share with you this year as well, I'm on a Eurospy visionquest in 2008-and guess who seems to be everywhere in regards to that genre?

The Lesours talk about how they did it in their VW interview. I didn't watch ELSA, but I kind of like the other one just for its cynycal tone a la A Woman for All Seasons: the movie starts with MS dancing in front of a Nazi flag and ends with her singing in front of a US flag.Kaya Özkaracalarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331100036910209484noreply@blogger.com
