Unlike the ponderous trailers produced by Hollywood studios today, trailer-making
30 or 40 years ago was considered an art form-the best editors and most creative
minds were assigned to create titillating, provocative "come-ons"
for film audiences everywhere.
Radley Metzger, before he directed such classic films as Therese and Isabelle,
The Lickerish Quartet and Score, was employed by various companies to create
trailers for films that have become both enduring classics and campy kitsch.
This collection of vintage trailers, all made by Radley Metzger, includes 45
of the best examples from the world of cinema circa 1950-70, from art house
classics to European sex imports to Drive-In cult classics.
Featuring the original theatrical trailers for the classic shocker The Mysterians;
Ingmar Bergman's The Magician & The Secrets of Women; Andrzej Wadja's Ashes
and Diamonds; the notorious Olga's Girls and Hitler's Inferno; Elke Sommer in
Daniella by Night & Sweet Ecstasy; sexploitation classics The Weird Lovemakers,
The Fourth Sex & The Twilight Girls; and Radley Metzger's Therese and Isabelle,
The Alley Cats, The Lickerish Quartet, and Score. Plus dozens more!
