I have been meaning to do this for a while.
A thread for the work of Mr. John Llewellyn Moxey.

WELCOME!



Mr. Llewellyn Moxey, you directed some of my favourite EW films, namely 'RICOCHET' and 'FACE OF A STRANGER' plus the visually very different 'STRANGLER'S WEB'
Also worthy of mention is 'THE 20,000 POUND KISS' (because Alfred Burke was in it, and I could watch him all day)

Do you have any memories you would be able to share?
Do you remember any locations:-
The house and woods in 'FACE OF A STRANGER'
The house in 'STRANGLER'S WEB'
The house in 'RICOCHET'

Was the prison footage from 'FACE OF A STRANGER' borrowed from 'THE CRIMINAL', because it looks like it!


Many thanks and best regards.

**EDIT**
Almost forgot,

A great and largely unsung, in this country, director. He went to the States in the sixties and stayed there directing many tv series episodes but also quite a few tv movies, some of which are now cult horror films.
2 of my favourites for instance:
The Strange and Deadly Occurrence (1974)
The Night Stalker (1972)

He doesn't do cinema preferring to work within the budgetary confines of television.
His most recent work is overseeing some of his releases on dvd.

He gave a spectacularly one-sided interview to DVDEmpire a couple of years ago which didn't really endear him to his many fans, I'm sure.

Thanks for the kind words. I hated the interview, and was not very well when it was done. Hey ho thats yesterday...etc: Great to hear from you and the others.
Please keep in touch. All the best John

Well said MoEW and PJ.

I wonder if there is any hope at all that the "Edgar Wallace Mysteries" might see a DVD release? I would have thought they would make ideal box sets due to the @60 mins running time?

I can't remember how I first came across CITY OF THE DEAD, I suspect it was by recommendation, but I am certainly glad I did. What a cracking film !

The casting of the priest - and what a great opening shot of him. Plus the swift disposal of the heroine. A great atmosphere too.

Chris Lee & Patricia Jessel in the same movie ? Excellent stuff.

John might be glad to know that Denis Lotis is still playing the circuit, doing the rounds on the 'seniors specialist' holidays - still crooning....

Denis Lotus still performing? Strewth!! Good on him. To digress only slightly, Freddie Garrity (Freddie and the Dreamers) has died after being ill for a while. I know he hardly had much of a Britmovie career but thought I'd mark it.

I called him at home when I was reviewing City of the Dead for EInsiders.com. He lived in Washington state in the US at the time. He was not very coherent at the time and I couldn't use what he gave me in the review. No matter what has happened to him over time, he made some memorable films!

It must have been due to the difference in time zones. I feel like an ass now. My humble apologies if my post seemed rude. The important part of the post was the last line. You sir, have made some very memorable films. For which we are all indebted.

Whilst we've got your attention John, out of curiosity, which of your own works ranks as your favourite and are there any particular regrets or projects that never got off the ground?

Just an attempt at humour...that obviously didn't work.
Ignore it
