He Knows You’re Alone is a moderately effective slasher that has grown on me as I’ve gotten older. Seemingly hampered by a goofy romantic subplot necessitated by the killer’s fixation on killing brides-to-be, to be fair, this thread is salvaged because stars Scardino and O’Heaney honestly sparked the old chemistry set with ease. Still, I think we should all be thankful most police investigators in real life don’t mimic their brethren in these things. *sheesh* Also of note, even though the movie trumpets itself as being the first onscreen appearance of Tom Hanks, he’s in it for like 10 seconds; and honestly, the filmmakers probably would’ve been better served, notoriety wise, if they had actually been the film where Hanks was hacked to pieces with his head in the fish tank, too. Thus and so, I recommend the movie immensely as long as you all promise to stop the film with about 30 seconds to go and dump the stoopid twist for the sake of stoopid twist only ending.

Da’King Lives! :: The Most Inflammable Combination Since Little Boys with Matches… (June, 1964)
Posted in 1960-1969, Movie Ads with tags Ann-Margret, Cesare Danova, Comedy, Da'King Lives, Elvis Presley, George Sidney, Jack Cummings, Musical, Nicky Blair, Romance, Sally Benson, Viva Las Vegas, William Demarest on August 15, 2012 by WB Kelso
Race car driver Lucky Jackson has a need for speed in almost everything he does, and, while trying to win the bank-roll he needs to compete in the Las Vegas Grand Prix at the craps table, our boy meets his match in a fiery redhead, whose purring engine and swiveling hips stops the gob-smacked troubadour dead in his tracks and sets them both on a collision course for romance (– both on screen and off.) Seriously, watching Elvis and Ann-Margret on screen is like watching two pieces of flint sparking off each other; a volatile concoction of ramming-speed kinetics that dares you to keep up and is a total blast to watch.
