Stuart, thanks for getting back!
I’m afraid even in MAAT the filmography is in terrible need of revision, but the interviews NEVER will be so every J fan should grab a copy before it is OOP.
I have both of your books by my side whenever any of the films I am watching are covered in them.
It is just frustrating knowing that there is so much more info available and there is no book for us English speaking Japanese film fans to go to.
Since I have not seen most of these in the original versions until the past few months, I am now semi retired and have time to actually study them. I am finding that, even though I have been a fan of the ‘50 films since I first saw RODAN when it was originally released, I am really a newbie when it comes to this group of films, especially those from the early ‘60s on.
Indeed, I had never seen GORATH and SECRET OF THE TELEGIAN in any shape or form until recently and have enjoyed them immensely on my big screen TV in glorious 16x9 Tohoscope.
Some films that I derided in the past, I find are now quite enjoyable. After only being exposed to the inane dubbing and cropping they have been subjected to in America, they are a revelation to me.
For example, I truly enjoyed INTENTIONALY laughing at that great comedy team of Godzilla and son and I thought the child in GODZILLA’S REVENGE was quite a good little actor and his plight was very touching. The film really worked for me even with the re-usage of footage from the earlier films. I was literally amazed I was enjoying it so much.
I still HATE that kid in the first Gamera film, though and a couple of films I thought I would re-discover and enjoy for the first time I found were still not working for me. FRANKENSTIEN CONQUERS THE WORLD and WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS, for example.
I remember hating KING KONG VS GODZILLA for what they did to my Kong, but now I see how the humor works in it and I can now understand the skill of a suitmation actor. MANTANGO is another film that I consider right up there with the best of Bava. But then I always liked that one.
Oh, I just have to ask. Have you seen THE FINAL WAR? Are scenes from it used in INVASION OF THE NEPTUNE MEN?
And, THE INVISIBLE MAN: Some sources say it was made in 1949 and you mention it was filmed the same year as GOJIRA. Has any light been shed on that film?
I had better stop as I have a million questions that I know you could answer in a new book if one is ever going to deservedly get published. My fingers are crossed hoping you can get to do it.
