When It Rains, It Pours, Darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                   I keep hearing, in my head, BARBRA singing "When the sun comes out/And the rain stops knockin' on my windowpane."  This by way of inviting all you out there to "Svengoolie's" screening of the 1975 film, "The Devil's Rain.," tomorrow evening, at 8PM.

                                                    I do this, with reluctance.  If you have seen the film, you know why.  For those who have not, tune in to see how awful, and boring a film can be.

                                                     This, despite having a galaxy of TV stalwarts, like Ernest Borgnine, William Shatner, Ida Lupino, John Travolta, Keenan Wynn, and Joan Prather, among others.  Keenan was compensated for this dreck by appearing in one of cinema's all-time masterworks that year, Robert Altman's "Nashville."  As for Ernest Borgnine, well, following his success as the boss everyone loved to hate, and see killed, in 1971's "Willard," he began appearing in a slew of films, where he was often the demented leader of some cult.  My favorite of these was "Deadly Blessing," a1981 film featuring Sharon Stone, where he played some twisted Amish like leader.  The ad was the most famous item about the film--a picture of a woman screaming in a bathtub, legs up and spread, as a snake pops out of the water, between them.  Yeah, I know.   But I am telling you, everyone went to see it, and because it was directed by Wes Craven it was actually good.

                                                     No such luck with this one.  If you must watch, girls, the best to hope for is Kerwyn, and maybe a cameo by Toonie, because "Sventoonie" does not return till the fall.

                                                        When it comes to trash like this, give me "The Initiation Of Sarah," or "Satan's Schol For Girl" any day--or night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
