This reminds me of my viewing last night which was the Amicus production of
Dr. Who and the Daleks. (1965) A fun remake of the second BBC
Doctor Who story
The Mutants. Nowhere near as gritty as the sequel
Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 AD It has a cheap British charm all the same, even if Cushing's a bit wet (for want of a better word) as Dr. Who. The Daleks still look great though and you can see why they really took off back then and remain iconic to this day. I'm digressing from my point here though.
On the disc is an interesting documentary about the Dalek films titled
Dalekmania. (1995). 58 minutes of rare material, interviews etc. What really stood out was an Italian trailer for the second film. Complete with ropy dubbing, exploitative headlines, green lines of print damage. It all seemed so brilliantly Italian, i was half expecting a Dalek to gut a mongoose.
