Uncle Tom’s Cabin (German: Onkel Toms Hütte) is a 1965 German film directed by Géza von Radványi. The film was entered into the 4th Moscow International Film Festival.[1] It is based on the novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
In the early spring of 1977, the film was reissued in the United States in an edited form, with new scenes directed by Al Adamson. On the heels of the success that year of the miniseries Roots, the ad campaign for the reissue touted that the film had “ALL the SENSUAL and VIOLENT passions ‘ROOTS’ couldn’t show on TV” and offered “the REAL story of the SLAVES, MASTERS & LOVERS.”

Fatal Instinct is a 1993 American sex comedy thriller film directed by Carl Reiner. A parody of the erotic thriller genre, which at the time had reached its commercial peak, as well as being a pastiche of 1940s film noir and psychological thriller genres, in particular Double Indemnity, the film stars Armand Assante as lawyer/cop Ned Ravine (a take-off on Body Heat, in which William Hurt plays the similarly named Ned Racine) who has an affair with a woman named Lola Cain (Sean Young). Kate Nelligan stars as Ned’s wife and Sherilyn Fenn stars as his secretary. It also satirizes Sleeping With The Enemy many times. The film title is a combination of Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct, both of which starred Michael Douglas.
Conclusion
Enjoy Eartha Kitt Weekend
Next week is the November Fancy Dress Party, the idea is to do a buffet party then choose your favourites for your boxing day buffet relieves a bit of pre christmas stress if you are like me.
You can do the 70’s style one.
Or could do the freezer style one if you prefer.
Or the 80’s one with quiche and little jacket potatoes and sour cream and salad.
We will probably do a mish mash of them all.
Quite fun!!!
