Dear friends, Forgive me for the cross-posting, but I'm desperate -- I hope you kind people can help me. We're preparing with UCLA a DVD release of Henry de la Falaise's LEGONG: DANCE OF THE VIRGINS (1935) and KLIOU THE KILLER (1937), shot in two-color Technicolor in Bali and Indo-China (Vietnam) respectively. Both were produced by de la Falaise's then current wife Constance Bennett. We have been really trying to research the films (the AFI catalog led us to some reviews and a couple of brief articles we found at the Academy and MoMA, a very kind archivist has already sent me a contemporary article from "Man," and I have purchased about every book written on Bali from the 1930s looking for Henry's name to pop up). We have even talked to Constance's son who remembers "Uncle Henry" fondly but has no memory of the films as he was only seven at the time. So, the making of these films remain an enormous mystery. And it's odd because LEGONG seems to have had some success around the world. Have any of you lovely, smart people -- especially those with the taste for extremely obscure cinema -- come across anything about these films? LEGONG is actually a terrific film (KLIOU is only so-so at best but it does show a rare view of Vietnam in the 1930s) and they deserve a far better "history" than I can provide them right now. Thank you!
