'Smellovision', the technique pioneered by director Jack Cardiff for
his 1960 film SCENT OF MTSTERY, makes a comeback - to enchance your viewing of PETOMANE....

From BBC News
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4903984.stm
'Smellovision' for Japan cinema

Screenings of Colin Farrell's latest film will be accompanied by a
series of
smells at a cinema in Japan.
Seven fragrances will waft from machines under back row seats during
historical adventure The New World.

A floral smell will accompany love scenes, with a mixture of
peppermint and
rosemary for tear-jerking moments.

Cinemas across the country will be able to download programmes to
control
various sequences of fragrances for other upcoming films.

The company who makes the fragrance-emitting machines launched a
service for
Japanese homes last year.

The home version of the equipment costing £510 was designed to provide
aromatherapy during work or horoscope readings.

The machines have to be topped up with fragrant liquids which create
the
scents.

A globe-shaped version of the machine for computer users is also
manufactured, which emits fragrances depending on mood.

It can be used to provide relaxation before bedtime or to keep the
user
alert if they are working late at night.

In The New World, Farell plays American colonial leader John Smith,
said to
have been saved from execution by North American Indian princess
Pocahontas.

Are they saying Colin Farrell needs seven fragrances to bolster his performance. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]

I love Jack Cardiff ( hero!) but not the idea of 'Smellovision' for theatres. I'd pay extra to have them turn it off during a screening.

Best,

Barbara

Probably how to make the best of a physical abnormality that allowed him to gulp in air from the wrong end and produce melodies from the same place..much as one can alter the pitch of air coming from the neck of a balloon I imagine. Without wishing to be too indelicate, according to my book, Le Petomane was also able to ensure, because of his peculiar physical make-up, that normal functions had been completely taken care of before he stepped out on to the stage!

Thanks, Jeff, but I'm getting out of here while the going's still good. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/surrender.gif[/img]

Toot-Toot-Tootsie, bye, bye!

Hello Barabara, I'm amazed at the replies. I'm not French. I have started to appreciate stuff I'd seen on TV years ago. Le Petomane was one of those that stuck in my mind. So, au revoir, I have to read the rest ..........

Hello Jeff, sorry for the delay in replying. I have a low resolution copy and am trying to get one which is better quality. What quality is yours ?
I can't believe what has been going on in my absence.

I believe Galton and Simpson had a hand in the script, which must have looked interesting on the page. Who did the sound effects?

A possible remake ?

Silent but Deadly Gangster Michael Caine is a bad man to be around. Mainly because of his deadly Botty Burps. Then he gets news that his Brother has been killed in Newcastle. Not only does his London Gang encourage him to go , they drive him to the Station! His Boss , Hugh Jarris is heard to whisper " Now I can Breathe easy! "

Theres a Pall over Newcastle and Caine's arrival makes it much worse. His arrival causes a stink amongst the Newcastle Mob headed by T Dan Trump. Caine corners local Businessman Rip Bumby in a Multi Storey Car Park.

Bumby : " You're Blowing this out of all proportion ! "
Caine : " It's time to Inherit the Wind PHFRRRFFRRTTTTTT! "

Caine finally tracks down the killer on a Beach.

Caine " Did you laugh ? Well now it's time to Blow You away! PHFRTFFFRRRFFFTTTT ! "

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The name of this Epic?

" Get Farter "

( apologies )

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Couldn't You just try acting , Old Boy...It's so much easier
