"I Saw What You Did" - (1965)

Lypsinka has made hay of/with this particular line.

Is it streaming anywhere?

GET OUTTA HERE, R2!

I love this movie and have seen it probably a dozen times. Joan at the height of her dipsomania, wearing a chandelier around her neck.

There was a 90s TV remake that was interesting but not half as good.

Joan’s hairdo was fabulous. A true hair hopper. Forgot about car registration strapped to the steering column.

Joan's piteous "Look, honey!"

What was that giant necklace about? Was it actually a style at some point? Or was it meant to camouflage her wrinkly neck and bosom? Bizarre.

The devilish look on her boozed-up face when she sees the car registration card is my all time favorite JC movie moment!

I’ve only seen this film in faded, scratchy prints. It looks amazing here.

John Ireland worked pretty steadily, so it’s surprising how he struggled financially. He’s an interesting presence, unusual features and a strange understated manner of acting. He performed in Queen Bee, too.

In this era of filmmaking, Joan is still a pleasure to watch. Those acting in scenes with her seem legitimately frightened. She’s such a strong presence it’s like watching a great big hungry cat. This scene in particular with her guttural “get outta here!”. I also liked her Grinch-like grin when she sees a chance to snatch the registration card form the car’s steering column.

R7 Joan sometimes wore her own clothing in films of this era. In some of the Herman Cohen shockers like Trog, filmed on the cheap in the UK, Joan sometimes changed her outfits in a car.

In Berserk, you can see triangular shadows in the key lighting to hide her neck wrinkles. I think these “signature” chunky necklaces were partly camouflage. First Lady Barbara Bush wore them, too, much later.

There's too much humor in it. Maybe because it dealt with teen girls before the slasher genre emerged.

Someone should re-edit and add more horror elements.

The car registration attached to the steering wheel. Was that a thing? Never saw it before. Joan snatching it (and kissing it -- WTF?) at the end was a major plot point because this allowed John Ireland to find their house. I think this is one of the first movies where "The call is coming from inside the house!!" was used as in "Scream." The girl leaves her friend and runs for the car which of course won't start, and then the hands come over from the back seat. I had nightmares.

This was just on Svengoolie a couple weeks ago.

Andi Garrett was no Diane Baker.

This demands a remake starring Lizsha, "I Shaw What You Did".

No R15. Retire your act.

John Ireland had a third leg. I think his is the biggest VPL I've ever seen.

I enjoyed the 1988 remake. Robert Carradine was effectively creepy.

Linky stinky R17

Lotsa Ireland bulge here:

Watch from the 1:20 mark until the end. Ireland had a python in his pants.

The costume designer would've seen the bulge and made sure it didn't show during wardrobe tests or filming. Someone would've caught it.

I saw this on TV when I was a kid, and it scared the hell out of me and my brother, since we liked to make prank phone calls. This scared us away from that...for a while.

Joan looks much better in the film's publicity shot

Okay, so how did it make it to the final cut.

I recently saw that movie on Amazon (I’ll watch anything with Burt Lancaster in it) and I was stunned at John Ireland’s snake.

The thing about films from 60-90 years ago is that the men frequently had unbelievable VPL because, I guess, they tended to wear boxer shorts under loose-fitting, soft fabric pants. So anyone who has any discernible VPL was showing it off. Didn’t need to be a period piece like Gunfight above; it was just the style.

One of the reasons I love movies from the 30s through the early 60s (and sometimes the 70s… and even the 80s… I couldn’t believe all the extreme examples of VPL in episodes of Murder She Wrote!)

I honestly didn't see it upon repeated viewings.

How could you not have? It's APPARENT.

I really want to see this movie, I Saw What You Did, but I can’t find it for free online. Which is as it should be—I need to see it in proper HD, as released by Shout Factory.

If as good as Strait-Jacket or Homicidal, I’ll be a very happy horror hound indeed.

I saw what you did and moved to another room.

Here you go R28.

Is that safe link, R30?

R31, I’ve not had problems with it. I have blockers and security installed though.

Apropos of nothing, but expressions like “statement necklaces” make all the shit that comes with being gay so worth it.

What happened to that necklace? Did Christina get it?

Thank you R30

Baskets of Blessing on you, my darling!

She is not slurring, that is how she sounded once she got the dentures.

They didn't yet have the courage to make a true teen horror movie, perhaps because the kids were so young and the times were still so innocent. But Joan is convincingly menacing.

Joan’s big, high Dairy Whip hairdo in that first clip is pretty good-looking. She was still a very attractive lady in this timeframe. When she chases the young girl down the driveway, you get a pretty rare sense of how tiny she was in person. She was very small but so expressive on camera. I think Virginia Grey commented that Joan’s scenes with her on the film The Women were reshot by Joan’s preferred cinématographer, and that extra process meant three weeks of wages for those appearing with her.

Christina got only one unmatched earring...

for reasons that are well known to her

<- I want it back.

Hi fucker
