RE: Book Review: 'Don’t Look Now: And Other Stories' by Daphne Du Maurier
Read this book, my mom had it on her bookshelf ( I was lucky to have a Dutch mother who was raised in English speaking countries ). I merely remember Don't Look Now, although I think I had already seen the movie by then ( one of my favorite films from what's probably my fav decade in cinema, the 1970s ).
Reading your description of Not After Midnight, a story I don't remember, I was reminded of a pretty gory (1970s) Greek horror movie that I can't remember the name of. I wonder if it's an adaptation of this tale. Just found it and I don't think it's the same story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_of_Death
Have an awesome weekend and I'll see you around!
Nope, not the same story. SPOILER ALERT, don't read any further if you don't wanna know the ending:
(What happens is that the man of the American couple is actually a satyr, and he gets the schoolmaster to drink the sacred brew and then the schoolmaster becomes a satyr also. The wife of the American man also murders him because he is so disgusting and she's sick of him.)
You have a great weekend also, and I'm glad you are posting again!
I don't mind spoilers :>)
I am, more or less, back but I'm not posting about movies. In all honesty, I don't think I've watched a movie in a month due to the tent life, haha
A hug from Portugal,
