Viewing Notes

On a bit of a Freddie Francis kick since I haven’t seen a lot of these for over a decade. This anthology isn’t billed as a comedy but I’m tagging it that way. Anyone watching these segments would see the humor in them.

None are particularly great but all are enjoyable for each of the stories. Plus you have a hottie trifecta of Suzy Kendall, Joan Collins, and Kim Novak. Then there’s Donald Pleasence in the framing story. Fun stuff!
