"The Hideous Sun Demon" wasn't exactly a rockfest, but it did have one interesting sleazy bar song, "Strange Pursuit" - Sung by Nan Peterson. The voice & piano are a duet straight from.....you know I'm really not quite sure where, you tell me! Definately Weirdsville!Where Can I Buy Some Cigarettes
This scene is used in IT CAME FROM HOLLYWOOD, a clip collection of the worst that Tinseltown had to offer. If memory serves correctly, you can see a fly light on the plyboard backdrop while this is being sung!
ReplyDeleteYou know, for a movie with that title and premise (and being Clarke's only foray into directing), it's surprisingly not that bad. I particularly some of the camera angles. Very creative. I'm also wishing I had seen a lot more of Patricia Channing
ReplyDeleteI like the moody "Strange Pursuit" and the piano music that accompanies it. The song was written & sung by Marilyn King, sister-in-law of Robert Clarke and a member of The King Sisters vocal group (they were very popular in the 40's through the 60's). Nan Peterson lip-syncs the number.
