I try to not see Middle Earth through the films however. Aguirre Wrath of God for example and the scenes on the raft is in my mind as I paint Renaissance stuff for example and Victorian through Nosferatau. Got out of the habit of cinema going ( except for children’s films) as the family grew up and was just getting back into it when I retired prior to the Corona virus.įilms often play a part in how I visualise m y games. Wednesday afternoon was free from classes and Filmhouse in Edinburgh charged us students 50p so I went to anything and everything, the good ,the bad and the ugly. I always feel “Passport to Pimlico” has great gaming potential in it or as a scenario springboard. Jan and I liked the Audrey Hepburn films that have spies and/ or an imagination in it, can’t recall the name. I have a liking for them “Student Prince” which I can never quite fathom out as it is not the best of films.
I do like the stills you have posted, very evocative of the world of imaginations.
One of several Youtube links to entire film (admittedly with adverts)
#The prisoner of zenda 1979 dvd cover movie#
I could not find this 1922 MGM movie in UK playable DVD form so hopefully not infringing anyone’s copyright by watching. Must track the Peter Sellars 1979 one down. Taster Clips of several film versions of Zenda exist, the 1937 ones onward seem to be available online or DVD. A Hollywood mix of Balkan romance uniforms … Tarlenheim (right) The bad guys in black helmets – Teutonic looking Black Cuirassiers, who play no further role in the film whatsoever … all dressed up and nowhere to go, nothing to do … The good guys – the White Guard at the Coronation … hardly seen after this. I watched a free YouTube copy of the Prisoner of Zenda 1922 silent film version (speeded up on the right corner click replay to 1.5 / 1.75)
