Strangers Kiss (1983) - Fun City Editions

[JupiterMission]

The Pure Cinema Podcast has EXCLUSIVELY revealed that Matthew Chapman's 1983 film Strangers Kiss will soon be coming to Blu-ray from Fun City Editions. The film - loosely based on the making of Stanley Kubrick's Killer's Kiss - stars Peter Coyote, Victoria Tennant, and Dan Shor.



From Wikipedia:

To help his actress girlfriend regain her confidence, a Hollywood bigshot bankrolls a small film being made by a first-time producer and director duo. Despite the hand-to-mouth way it is made, the film turns out well, as does the off-set relationship between the actress and her unknown male lead.

No release date yet, but stay tuned!

(Hello to Brian, Elric, and Phil!)

The specs were just revealed by FCE:

Description: Hollywood. 1955. Faced with two inexperienced actors, the director (Peter Coyote) of Strange and Dangerous (film-within-a-film) encourages the leading lady (Victoria Tennant) and leading man (Blaine Novak) to fall in love in "real life" so as to provide the "heat" needed for the inner film's romance.

The actress' jealous gangster boyfriend (Richard Romanus), who happens to be the film's financier, is kept in the dark about this love triangle. When the financier finally realizes what is going on, he flies off in a violently jealous rage.

The suspense and tension draws to a tingling close with a strange twist at the ending.
