Here's a sidebar to the request for overlooked films, which might prove useful as part of the research process. When I was a youth, there was a magazine, published in Montreal, called Take One. It cost 25 cents and was worth at least $1.50. (There is now another magazine, published in Toronto, called Take One -- with permission of the publisher of the original periodical, I hasten to add. It's relatively new on the scene, and is one of very few English-language magazines published in Canada since the demise of Cinema Canada. If anyone is interested in subscription information, let me know. But I digress...) It included as a regular feature a mini-column called Overlooked and Under-rated. It wasn't quite as brutally subjective and individualistic (yet also entertaining and illuminating) as a column, which appeared only once, as I recall, titled "Things We Really Like." The "Overlooked and Under-rated" column, at any rate, could provide a little snapshot of some films that were perceived as undervalued in their time -- in this case the late 1960s and early 1970s. A related phenomenon, of course, was the irregular feature published in Film Comment, So-and-So's "Guilty Pleasures," in which famous people often wrote about obscure movies consdered bad, if they were considered at all. I don't remember if it was the first, but the most vivid in the series for me was screenwriter David Newman's, largely for the way he introduced Edward Wood into the, uh, canon. Oh, hell. Why wait for people to ask. The address for Take One is 151 Golfview Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M4E 2K6. A 3-issue subscription for a Canadian address costs CDN$14.00; for the US, USD$17.00, and for other international addresses a money order for CDN$30.00. (6-issue subscriptions cost double. These people have odd ideas about bargains.) Recent issues have included features on M. Butterfly, Thirty-Two Short Films About Glenn Gould, and other recent Canadian releases. The recent issue, number 5, is dedicated to articles on Race and Canadian Cinema. Blaine Allan [log in to unmask] Film Studies Queen's University Kingston, Ontario Canada K7L 3N6
