Oh well, I'll watch FantastiCozzi instead, documentary about the #BMovie director Luigi Cozzi beloved of #Monsterdon for films like Starcrash & Hercules and beloathed of #MonsterMiru for inserting real footage of dead people into his 1977 cut of Godzilla

[START OF LONG THREAD ON COZZI FILMS]

I thought with the time change I'd be able to stay awake all the way thru #MonsterMiru 

But I'd been awake since 3am & didn't make it. 

Seeing the consensus on #Cozzilla, instead of finishing it tonight, I might just watch the Cozzi documentary after #MondayActionMovie 

Thanks for streaming last night 👍️

Re: WWII footage in Cozzilla

The year before, the film All This and World War II was released, then pulled from theaters. It combined WWII newsreel footage with covers of Beatles songs.

All prints were rumored to be destroyed, but there’s a copy on YT. How bad was it? Well, the opening credits introduce the Nazis, perpetrators of the Holocaust, set to “The magical mystery tour is coming to take you away.”

How did this get made?

@SnoopJ

You must put Cozzi in context; 1977 Italy was not like 1977 America, and they were quite proud of Spectrorama-70!

Plus it isn't easy to make a convincing 'monster' movie, let alone try to explain Godzilla!

Is Cozzilla a “mondo” film?
