LA MUERTE SILBA UN BLUES - "Death Whistles The Blues" (1964)

This week's Saturday Night Special is a 1964 film by Jesus Franco entitled "La Muerte Silba Un Blues," and/or "Death Whistles The Blues!"
How such a cool movie could have one of the dullest posters I've ever seen, I have no idea!

 I originally thought the title was "Death Sings The Blues," which quite francoly, has a much better ring to it!

 "La Muerte Silba Un Blues," was fun to watch from start to finish, it's total eye candy, with a tricky story, and very cool music written by Jesus Franco himself, who is also the guy there playing the sax!

Great observation on how phony people can be!

 One minute the horn used to play "Roof Blues" looks like this.........

 
..............The next minute all the player can remember is 'the headlights' before he dies!

 I'm pretty sure it's illegal to have this much fun!

 Here's another great shot of Jess Franco playing sax!
The music was performed by the "Whisky Jazz Club" orchestra!

 No wonder the world's so screwed up today, this is the kind of guy that was running the show 50 years ago! Gee, you think there's maybe more than one reason his wife doesn't love him?

 During this era of Franco's life, he was making films as good as anyone. His later psyco-surreal sex romps are a different story!

 She says she looks ugly without the wig!

 At this place and time, this guy is truly King of the Jerks!

 When he doesn't get his way he drives too fast!

 Then this wild-eyed joker from ten years in the past shows up.and spoils the fun for everyone!

 In this bar, he's watching these two guys arm wrestle, and he's told to buzz off!

 But instead of leaving, he challenges the two of them!

 He's pretty strong and beats them both fairly easily!

 After that, they all become best friends, and it's a good thing, because he's going to desperately need their help!

 Just one cool shot after another!

Like I said, so simple but very effective!

Of course there had to be a costume party, and this shot almost looks like a scene from "Batman!"

The cape blowing in the breeze makes him look like a super villian!
"La Muerte Silba Un Blues" is a great film, period!
Seek it out would be my suggestion!
