Thanks for reading, Mike! Having just counted it, my current Naschy tally is at 21 - with 3 more to go till the end of the month: the two I mentioned in THE DEVIL'S POSSESSED (1974) review, and another he was supposed to star in but ended up only scripting - John Gilling's THE DEVIL'S CROSS (1975). Incidentally, having watched the clothed version of THE HANGING WOMAN (1973), there is no "crazy sex scene" like you mentioned!
As for Thelma Todd, after reading your ***1/2 review of THIS IS THE NIGHT (1932), I just had to get hold of it...but I don't know when I'll be able to check it out (or the countless other "Pre-Codes" I own, for that matter)! As it happens, I've just been asked by a local friend to write an essay about "Christ In The Movies" for a Good Friday-related site he runs...as well as supply reviews for a site dealing in all kinds of Italian movies...not to mention the fact that I'm still going through the Bunuel filmography due to a local season I was supposed to be involved in (actually, the organizers haven't contacted me in some time, so I'm not even sure it is still on!) - so, I guess I'll be pretty busy in the coming months!
