Pop Goes the Losey

dcairns.wordpress.com     May 18, 2008          

“The last person that would come to mind to produce a movie that fits the adjective ‘zany’ would be Joe Losey. It’s all wrong. Monica Vitti playing a cartoon character for starters, that’s a bit silly. But it looked absolutely beautiful, and there were beautiful people in the film. It just didn’t...
