The opening chapter of my Golden Age of Hollywood novel, Tula, takes place in Kings County Asylum, Brooklyn, where Tula introduces her story. The asylum looks bleak, and it was. The building was smaller when Tula was there; additional storeys were added in the 1930s.
#Actress Julie Adams bumped her head doing a scene from Creature From The Black Lagoon. After getting her head wound treated the scene was completed with no problems. This is a cool picture with the cast members and the Creature himself.
A favourite film a day for 365 days.
Bloody, scathing, deliriously over-the-top satire of late 80s capitalism. (And also unexpectedly touching.) If this doesn't quite make my Top 10, it's definitely in my Top 20. I love this film.
