The Original Punk?


Just saw this movie after like 15 years (last time was a rental) & getting outbid on eBay for a Betamax copy w/ a nice clamshell box about 5 years back. Got a Chinese DVD a few days ago. Really missed this sleeper of a film!

I had not heard of it until a few minutes ago. Thankfully, there is a store which carries cult movies (Newbury Comics) within reasonable distance. I'll see if they carry it.

Omg, I love Newbury Comics. I've been ordering stuff from them online (thru Amazon) for years! I never knew they had a storefront.

This was on TCM today. I love this movie. Partly because it was one of the movies my parents grew up with...Ma was a junior in high school.

They sure don't make movies like that anymore.

This was on TCM today.
That's one of the few channels on which one would ever expected to see.

OH....YES! I mentioned on an earlier post, that I saw this on TV in the very late 50's, or early 60's. I didn't quite understand what the movie was about, but I was soooo intrigued by the title, since I was born in 1948 when it was made, and since green has always been my favorite color since I was about 4 years old...strange I know, to have a favorite color at such a young age...but that's another story.

Back then, we really used the TV Guide as if it were another kind of bible to see what shows were scheduled, etc.

Well when I saw the listing and time posted for TBWTGH,
I don't know why I thought I was going to be able to actually see green hair, seeing as though we had a B&W television set!

Now mind you....I didn't care about seeing anything else in the movie in color,

I just wanted to see THE GREEN HAIR!

Although I am a very youthful, 63 year old African-American grandmother who rocks a very fierce, braid hairstyle.....I am sometimes tempted to braid just a little green hair into my braids just to feed the "punk" in me! LOL!!

Weird, green has been my favourite color ever since I was 4 years old too. Maybe for the similar reason, who knows?

Finally snagged the Warner Archive DVD (I'm so happy!).
