DiNNER WiTH LYNCH:
Curtis Harrington.

"You Americans have such a simple view of the world. You think that everything can be seen and touched and weighed and measured. You think you discovered reality, but you don't even know what it is."

The Pink Smoke’s John Cribbs recently returned to the Dinner with Lynch podcast with host Bradley J. Kornish to discuss filmmaker Curtis Harrington, an underrated filmmaker who made the transition from experimental short films to mainstream Hollywood, a career trajectory similar to that of stable DWL subject David Lynch.

Bradley and John discuss Kornish's early work, including Dennis Hopper-falls-for-possible-killer-mermaid feature debut Night Tide, as well as Harrington's conquest of the Grande Dame Guignol subgenre with such films as Games, What's the Matter with Helen? and Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? and delve into his twisted Oedipal nightmare The Killing Kind. Of course they can't avoid dipping into the director's later TV effort Devil Dog: The Hound of Hell.
