Decent film overall I guess- and at least I remember a lot of it, so there's that! The above dvd set that monsterguy95 showed is also one of the few ways to get SHE DEMONS on dvd as well.

Heuvelmans makes mention in ITWOTSS that it's more or less the oceanic version of On the Track of Unknown Animals, which is basically his book of unknown terrestrial animals, and that he was working on a third book for freshwater cryptids. Does anyone know if this was published at all, maybe in French? I'm big on cryptozoological literature, and the prospect of there being unpublished works by Heuvelmans always frustrated me, that guy was great. As for the film, I'd never heard of it till now. Gonna have to track that down.

Not only will "L'Oeil du Sphynx" republish the books long out of print but they will also publish the unpublished manuscripts which formed as a result of his studies: they will all be updated and annotated by Jean-Jacques Barloy, PhD, long-time friend and student of Bernard Heuvelmans. This set will be a special collection entitled the "Library Heuvelmansienne", directed by Jean-Luc Rivera. It will also include the first full biography dedicated to Bernard Heuvelmans, written by JJ Barloy and another book of memoirs by Mrs. Lindbergh. "This is the first time that all the work of Bernard Heuvelmans cryptozoological will be combined, thus forming a single unit. The EODS announce the publication date of the first two volumes in the coming months." I met Mr. Heuvelmans several times in 1962/63 via our mutual friend, the late Jean Boullet. I don't know when he died, but he seemed very old to me - I was 22 at the time, after all... I also knew Alika Lindbergh when she was known as Alika Watteau, I remember her portrait of a smiling Yul Brynner with bat wings on the sides of his head, and called "L'homme chauve sourit" (an untranslatable pun, it can be phonetically understood as "The Bat Man" or "The Bald Man Smiles", in French...)

His works were always very readable, and not as dry as some such scientific writings. He always looked like a personable fellow in pictures. I'm afraid he died around 2001 or 2002, as I remember I was still in high school at the time.
