Been watching movies since 1956, have liked many.
But this one *stands apart*, in a *class by itself*.
It’s *better* than a great movie, it’s a *cum-drinking bitch*.

TIP: *Disable Your Screensaver* Start/screensaver/right mouse-click/open controls/turn off.
Then:
*DELETE* ALL temp. files and browsing history—I use ***Google CHROME***/Adobe FLASH/REAL Player, ***best*** browser set-up for movies.

I use ***CC Cleaner***, *free* download registry cleaner works like a charm as good/better than the fee-based cleaners: Get it *HERE*:

Open program, click on *Run Cleaner* and you’re done:
Look how many megs of temp files you had clogging your registry !!!

BEST results with 64-bit, 32-bit *sticky* image quality.
Click “Full Screen”/lower right.
ENJOY.

*Eat your hearts out, bitches.*

Have also seen ET MOURIR DU PLAISIR—B & R is *way* superior: the cut footage is a needless sub-story about the servants, and scenes with the doctor. Losing them does *not* detract from the story, and gooses the pace. This IS a 74 minute movie. ET MOURIR is *very* disappointing.
BLOOD & ROSES is the *real deal*—they *knew what they were doing*, cutting out extraneous material which reduced impact.

Other films that actually profited from being cut for American release are BURN !/QUEIMADA ['69] and FISTFUL OF DYNAMITE/DUCK YOU SUCKER ['72]—both were disfigured by overt Marxist political agitprop which *cold-stopped* the story, an affliction that effectively killed off the spaghetti western.

Only European film that *is* better in its *original* version is HORRIBLE DR. HICHCOCK ['64] running 76 minutes U.S. The *ENGLISH* cut, “TERROR OF DR. HICHCOCK” hews to the original—88 minutes AND has very good ENGLISH dubbing. The one to get.

The stunning soundtrack by Jean Prodromides was issued on FONTANA France 1960 in 45 EP and was a hit. Strangely it has not been re-issued on ANY CD—original 45 EPs can be found on Ebay sometimes, dig deep.

Hillman Books issued a tie-in paperback novelization of BLOOD & ROSES, 35c. You’ll pay more for it *now*. Follows American cut. Good of its kind—I remember many “novelizations” of films in the 1960s. Monarch Books had a whole line of horror-sc-fi novelizations.

The beautiful U.S. poster of BLOOD AND ROSES is ***available on a T-shirt***—color fidelity PERFECT—I wear it with my linen suit, *killer*. $15 at filmfax.com. 2 for $25.
They also have a beautiful TERROR OF DR. HICHCOCK, British poster T-shirt. BLACK SUNDAY, BRAIN EATERS and many others worth a look for the cult film fan.

Cheers !

I’m still dying to see the Archives up and running. What seems to be the problem?

All Hendershot Sisters here are alive and well. As always, I wish the same for you & yours.
