I"ve been taking sketching breaks from other work with it for a little while now. I was pretty excited when TCM showed The Damned awhile back and it was pretty great. Have you read Reed All about Me, by Oliver Reed? awesome book. A fantastic book and yes too small! I”ve been taking sketching breaks from other work with it for a little while now.

And I completely agree, I wish that it were a bigger book. BUT, I was so thrilled with it, as many of these photos I'd never seen before. It's a book that has been long overdue.

As soon as it started I realised that I recognised the locations. It was filmed about 20 miles away from me in Weymouth and Portland, both areas I know pretty well. As for the story, it is pretty routine cold war British sci-fi/horror, but I really enjoyed it. Ollie Reed was pretty hammy but fitted in well, as the rest of the film was too. Definitely better than a lot of similar fare and well worth you hunting down. I forgot to say, but the same day I saw it, read a bit of Hammer Glamour and visited your website, I flicked through a copy of Cinema Retro in the local Borders, so it really was a Cinebeats filled day! Mick Kimberly,

Mick - It's a small world but glad we can share in our enthusiasm for Hammer films. The Damned is a movie I really need to see. It's not available in the US yet but it's supposed to be released on DVD soon and I'm really looking forward to it since it stars one of my favorite people - Oliver Reed! Polychrome - Hope you get yourself a copy soon!

It has been on my shelf for at least a month (along with dozens of other neglected titles). To then come to Cinebeats after quite an absence and find you covering it was a bit spooky. I grew up on Hammer films on the BBC and ITV over here (I'm 43, so they were on TV all the time when I was under-ten). I had strangely liberal parents when it came to letting me watch films. I don't remember being frightened much though. Went to see "Twilight Pt2" yesterday. Now that is fightening(ly bad). Kids nowadays, eh? Watched (hey, I'm on holiday this week!) "The Damned" today (featuring Shirley Anne Field), after never having watched a Hammer film for quite a while. Either I'm feeling nostalgic, or you have mysterious powers, Mrs Lindbergs!

I know I'd be really happy with a gift of Hammer Glamour if I didn't already own it. Marilyn - That’s what I’m here for! Well not exactly, but I’m glad I could help.
