HOWDY pardners :wink: “There You Go” !!

Marshall SAM McCLOUD From New Mexico “I am investigating some missing brochures” :smiley:

[quote=“SARTANA DJANGO, post:17, topic:883”]YES Cactus you can count on me.
I have the book and if I can find it :o the ordering details I will post for you.
I can tell you that from memory it was a special project involving that Spanish fellow
Lucas Balbo whom I met at many movie fairs & he always had quality exploitation items.[/quote]

Thanks SD.

Wait, i’ve just realised i have that book, but i’m interested in the Jack Palance one you mentioned.

YW Cactus

I will look for the Jack Palance Brochure and Let you know of course.
I have to tell you though that these brochures/books will not be on sale now as they were issued many years ago and are more likely to be found at film fairs from dealers.
The illustrations were superb , all well researched and comprehensive.

I got the Kinski one new, a couple of years back. I guess i’ll just have to keep checking Ebay etc, for the Palance one.

Incidentally i am a big Palance fan too.

Ok Cactus I agree Film Fairs or EBay are likely sources for the brochures.

JACK PALANCE Rip I am also an admirer/fan of his prolific career in Westerns,
Horror, Thrillers, CULT Films. Jack was a very talented professional actor in all his roles.

I would like to start a JACK PALANCE thread or Maybe you can , especially if you do a
similar great comprehensive job with a full filmography etc as you did with Klaus Kinski. :slight_smile:

As luck would have it, i have a full filmography of Mr Palance, including TV Series he appeared in.

I will post it tomorrow.

Yeah, he was a talented actor and i feel much underrated in the 1960’s and 70’s, great Italian movies like The Mongols, Sword of the Conqueror and Barabbas should not be overlooked.

Excellent. I only have the clip which is on My Best Fiend.

I hope it’s released on DVD with english subs.

Cheers.

[quote=“SARTANA DJANGO, post:6, topic:883”]YES Please do that Cactus as Klaus Kinski’s full filmography is one of the best around.

As I read his Film credits down the years I find myself liking well over 95% + of his films.
The only other Great actors that match that feat are
PETER CUSHING Horror master.
CHRISTOPHER LEE Horror master
STEWART GRANGER Romantic Adventures master.
ROD TAYLOR Tough Action master.
CHRISTOPHER GEORGE Tough Action master.
And the Great SW/Western Leading men :
PETER LEE LAWRENCE, RICHARD HARRISON , ANTHONY STEFFEN, AUDIE MURPHY

Maybe 1 or 2 others.

Full Filmography please on Klaus Kinski

[/quote]And add Donald Pleasence to that list.

I found very interesting news about Kinski:

Asylum records confirm Klaus Kinski’s madness

Published: 22 Jul 08 12:25 CET
Online: http://www.thelocal.de/13215/

A Berlin psychiatry clinic has released medical records for one of Germany’s most recognizable film stars, Klaus Kinski, confirming suspicions that the notoriously temperamental star did indeed suffer from mental illness.

The Karl Bonhoeffer Nerve Clinic in the city’s Reinickendorf district, once known as the “State Insane and Idiot Asylum of Dalldorf,” released some 100,000 old patient records this week, according the Berlin daily Berliner Morgenpost on Tuesday.

Kinski’s records stem from a time when the clinic was called the Wittenauer Heilstätten, and have been in the clinic archive since September 5, 1950 under the name Klaus Nakschinski, Kinski’s birthname. According to German daily Bild, the first page of the file reads “Preliminary diagnosis: Schizophrenia. Conclusion: Psychopathy.”

The actor was 26-years-old and in love with a doctor 24 years his senior when police brought him to the clinic for treatment. The woman had been financing his artist’s life, but was engaged to another man and had only motherly feelings toward the actor.

According to Bild the file states: “According to his account, they love each other deeply. She has long since forbidden his visits, but he has not turned away. Instead he sleeps on her balcony and hides himself in her apartment without her knowledge.”

The file goes on to say that Kinski attempted suicide with three morphine tablets, survived, and made a second attempt a few days later with 10 sleeping tablets. He then showed up at the doctor’s apartment, destroyed her kitchen, called her a “whore” and tried to strangle her. Kinski then called police to come pick her up, but they left with him instead.

One doctor at the clinic classified Kinski as “a danger to the public” and another said he showed “signs of severe mental illness.”

The first doctor wrote: “His speech is violent. In this, his self-centred and incorrigible personality is evident as one that can’t blend in civil circumstances. He remains consistent to his egocentric world view and declares all others prejudiced […] The patient hasn’t had a job in one year, but still speaks confidently of the new film in which he will star.”

The file goes on to say that Kinski believed he was unjustly brought to the clinic. He was given insulin treatments and was released three days later according to his wishes. At the time, such insulin treatments was usually given to schizophrenic or manic depressive patients, and resulted in a coma-like state due to reduced blood sugar.

“That was a very risky and menacing treatment method,” Professor Peter Bräunig, chief doctor for the psychiatry clinic at the Vivantes Humboldt Clinic in Berlin told the Berliner Morgenpost of the treatment.

Kinski’s file, along with 100,000 other interesting cases, can be viewed in the Berlin state archives. He died of a heart attack in 1991 at age 65.

The actor, famous for his on- and off-screen intensity worked on more than 130 films and is most famous for his collaboration with German director Werner Herzog in films such as “Aguirre: The Wrath of God” (1972), “Woyzeck” (1978), “Nosferatu the Vampyre” (1978), “Fitzcarraldo” (1982), and “Cobra Verde” (1987).

Always thought there was something wrong with the guy …

But then again, I have known many nutcases that couldn’t even act

I can relate to this.

I will say it now: Kinski was the greatest actor ever! I think we SW fans are blessed by the fact that he worked in 23 SW films. The guy was wild, an egotist, a narcissist, but you can’t act so well in so many films over so long a period without having a pretty firm hold on reality.

Yeah Klaus was pretty special and unique. I have mentioned this elsewhere but the mark of a great actor for me is in the eyes and the abilty to convey emotion with just a look. Kinski did this so well.
