RIP, Pamela Tiffin.

Pamela Tiffin
(October 13, 1942 – December 2, 2020)

Pamela Tiffin had a pretty short career in movies and on the stage. She was wonderful in a couple of my favorite films of the 60s — One Two Three (1961) and Harper (1966). She passed away last week at 78.

Not long after Harper, she headed to Italy and did a few films. By the mid-70s, she’d retired. It’s a shame she didn’t stick with it a bit longer, she was terrific.

The top image is from the Harper trailer; the bottom for Harper itself.

Blu-Ray News #150: Irma La Duce (1963).

Directed by Billy Wilder
Written by Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond
Starring Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, Lou Jacobi

Kino Lorber has announced a Blu-Ray of Billy Wilder’s Irma La Duce (1963), from a recent 4K restoration. While I love Wilder and Jack Lemmon, and this is certainly a funny movie, I have to admit that I wanted to post something on it so I could mention the great Saul Bass, who did the poster.
