    It could have been a stroke of genius reuniting Peter Cooke and Dudley Moore in a send-up of The Hound of the Baskervilles. In the event, director Paul Morrissey goes for Carry On-style humour: plenty of coarse word-play and camp innuendo, but little wit or subtlety. Cooke is a rather androgynous Sherlock Holmes, while Moore inexplicably attempts a Welsh accent to portray Dr Watson (his cameo as Holmes' mother is far less contrived). The support cast is a compendium of British comedy acting of the period--all now departed, and clearly relishing the one-liners and musical-hall farce. There are excellent contributions from Max Wall, Joan Greenwood (priceless in the seduction scene), and--in one of his last major screen appearances--Terry Thomas, as well as a winning "madame" from Penelope Keith. Don't expect even a free adaptation of Conan Doyle's novel, just let the humour take its enjoyably silly course. On the DVD: The Hound of the Baskervilles film reproduces very decently in the 4:3 aspect ratio, with stereo sound that's not too artificial in effect. Special features consist of nine biographical overviews, the re-release trailer, and a six-minute interview with director Morrissey. Die-hard fans of "Pete and Dud" will most welcome the inclusion of the original theatrical feature, playing for almost 80 minutes and featuring extra footage of Moore's wonderfully inept piano playing. --Richard Whitehouse

    This box set features three films all directed by Paul Morrissey and produced by Andy Warhol using his 'factory' actors.

  • Blood For Dracula / Flash For FrankensteinBlood For Dracula / Flash For Frankenstein | DVD | (24/04/2006) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £29.99

    Andy Warhol along with his long-time collaborator and director Paul Morrissey combined their mighty talents for these campy trashy masterpieces of mid-70s horror. Flesh or Frankenstein (1973): Dr. Frankenstein desires to create perfect male and female specimens from body parts he has 'collected'. If all goes well his creations will then start a 'perfect' new race. However when the brain of a holy man is mistakenly placed in the head of the male creature things don't go as the good doctor planned. The result is an abundance of nudity and gore as well as a disturbing gall bladder fetish! Blood For Dracula (1974): Tired and sickly Count Dracula (Udo Kier) travels to Italy in search of a virgin bride. He and his domineering assistant Anton stumble across the supposedly virginal DiFiore family. Unfortunately the DiFiore daughters are less than virginal thanks to the determined efforts of servant Mario Balato (Joe Dallesandro) prompting the Count to bed all the sisters until he has found one with pure virgin blood.
