On this day, 46 years ago, Dario Argento's "Inferno" (1980) was released in Italy. After completing filming, Dario Argento screened "Inferno" (1980) to [then] President of 20th Century Fox, Sherry Lansing. While watching the film with him, she grabbed Argento's arm and hung on tightly during every shocking/scary scene in the movie. Argento thought it was a good sign for the movie. When the film was over, she said to Argento that the movie was "too strong" for the American market. The movie did reasonably well all over the world, but was released only on VHS in the USA. It wasn't released in theaters. Argento was upset by this as it was an important film, which he held close to his heart. ('Dario's 'Inferno' - making the second mother)

Leslie Stevens' "Private Property" (1960) was filmed in 10 days with a budget just under $60,000.

The movie was thought to have been lost for more than 30 years, it has been preserved and restored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive.

When Nikkatsu studio executives saw the finished cut of Seijun Suzuki's "Branded to Ki!!" (1967), they thought it was too terrible to be released, so they shelved it. Suzuki along with others in the film business, film critics, and students protested in unfairness since, by contract, Nikkatsu was supposed to release the finished film theatrically. It went to court, with a ruling in favor of the director. Nikkatsu had to pay for damages and have the film released. Suzuki's contract with Nikkatsu was terminated, and with the bad reputation, was unable to work on a feature film for the next 10 years. (Source: IMDb)

Next to the evocative images that Jesús Franco created in "Vampyros Lesbos" (1971), it is the music that is most memorable about the film. Forsaking the typical jazz of his previous films, Franco came up with a psychedelic sound. European audiences loved the style and ambiguity of the film making it a big success in Europe when it was released in late 1971. Something about the film has stayed resonant with audiences over the years. The soundtrack was innovative enough that 20 years after it was first released it became a Top 10 hit on the British alternative music charts.

According to Dan Aykroyd, many theaters in the Southern states of USA refused to screen "The Blues Brothers" (1980) because they felt that there were too many Black people in it. Dan Aykroyd talking about it: "Interviewer: When the movie came out, it wasn't immediately a huge hit. It had to be kind of carried on a wave into distribution. Aykroyd: It really was—for that time, it was a huge hit. Yeah. The movie opened at the top and then 'Airplane!' (1980) came in. But no, it opened number at top of the box office. It made about $80,000,000. Well, $78-80,000,000 in the gross that summer. So, that's very significant. Interviewer: But you didn't have the distribution that you wanted when the movie opened Aykroyd: Well, we didn't have southern states, because the exhibitors down there didn't want the movie, because there were too many Black people in it. Can you believe that? In 1980. (Sarcastically.) Thank you very much. God bless America. Ho-ly. Interviewer: They literally, explicitly said that. (Dan confirms). That's not you interpreting their actions. Aykroyd: No, no, they refused it. Finally, when the movie did do well in business elsewhere, southern exhibitors took it on. But no, it was a hit. It was a hit that summer. And it made its money back, of course, many times over by now."

The release of "The Long Good Friday" (1980) was delayed due to political fears. Having been made in 1979 for £900,000 with backing from Black Lion, a subsidiary of Lew Grade’s ITC Entertainment behemoth, the film hit festivals in 1980, but was delayed when Grade and others balked. There were concerns that the IRA might blow up cinemas that screened it, and another version was prepared with the Irish references and violence heavily excised. Additionally, out of fear that Americans wouldn't understand Bob Hoskins' accent in "The Long Good Friday" (1980) & as they thought Brummie accent would be better, an actor from Wolverhampton had dubbed Bob Hoskins' lines in the movie. Hoskins was incandescent when he found out about it. Hoskins and others members of the crew threatened to sue. A great list of people including Richard Burton, Alec Guinness, and Warren Beatty were ready to stand as expert witnesses. According to John Mackenzie, Grade organisation feared the bad publicity and didn't want to annoy establishment figures like Guinness. So they agreed to sell it to Handmade Films. Because of this fiasco, the released of the film was delayed well over a year.

When he and Gene Siskel reviewed it on their TV show, Ebert raved about it, said the film "thrilled me from beginning to end" and said it was both a great action film and a well-written drama. He later gave it 4 stars in a written review as well. Fans who had not been that aware of the film (which was released to limited fanfare and ad space in the doldrums of the Spring 1987 release period) went to see it after Ebert's rave and soon widely agreed with him on its quality.

The premiere of Carl Theodor Dreyer's 'Vampyr' (1932) in Germany was delayed by UFA for nearly nine months since the studio wanted the American films "Dracula" (1931) and "Frankenstein" (1931) to be released first. But the film was still a financial failure. When it finally premiered in Berlin on 6 May 1932, the audience booed the film, and Dreyer reportedly removed several scenes following the first screening. When the movie was screened in Vienna, audiences demanded their money back. When this was denied, a riot broke out, and police restored order with night sticks.

According to Richard Fleischer, Howard Hughes saw "The Narrow Margin" (1952) several times and it was his favourite picture. He was so impressed with the film that he didn't want to change anything in the movie but he wanted it to be entirely shot again with Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell as the leads. Fleischer didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard about the plan. He was concerned that Hughes would get someone else to direct the movie. If it happened, he thought, "Instead of being the tightly wrought gem of a film noir we all believed it to be, it would now become—well, something else". But thankfully, Hughes plan didn't materialise. But it resulted in the film being released two years after it was completed. It became the the highest grossing movie for that year for RKO. P.S: On this day, 74 years ago, "The Narrow Margin" (1952) premiered in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.

According to director Richard Franklin, someone at the theater had asked Curtis, "What is it like putting Australians out of work?". Richard Franklin felt that even though it didn't affect Curtis that much, it made her feel unwelcome and she wasn't in the right frame of mind for the first scene in the movie.

A group was formed to protest the film and lobby for it to be removed from theaters was called "Citizens Against Movie Madness". Two weeks later, the film was withdrawn. Even though executives at the studio stayed away from the media when the controversy erupted, writer Michael Hickey said he accepted any request for an interview he got, including Entertainment Tonight. He thought the controversy was absolutely hilarious and a lot of fun. He said, "I was in no way chagrined by the controversy, I thought it was great!

He was very surprised by the warm reception the film received. When Belmondo agreed to star in the movie, Godard gave him three pages, where it was written, "He leaves Marseilles. He Steals a Car. He wants to sleep with the Girl again, she doesn't. In the end, he either dies or leaves — to be decided" Godard wrote the dialogue for the movie on the morning of each day's shoot. Belmondo & Jean Seberg had all the freedom in the world to improvise. P.S: On this day, 66 years ago, "Breathless" (1960) was released in France.

Friday the 13th (1980) A low-budget independent production that unexpectedly became a global phenomenon. Despite critical backlash for its graphic violence, it launched one of the most successful horror franchises in history and defined the 1980s slasher genre. The film was born out of "need and desperation" by director Sean S. Cunningham, who sought a commercially viable project after several previous failures. Cunningham famously placed an ad in Variety for a movie titled Friday the 13th before a script even existed to secure interest and funding. Writer Victor Miller drafted the screenplay (initially titled A Long Night at Camp Blood) to create a "cinematic roller coaster" similar to Halloween (1978). It was shot in the fall of 1979 at Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco, a Boy Scout camp in Blairstown, New Jersey. Tom Savini was hired for nearly $20,000 to create the film’s iconic, realistic gore effects. Savini is also credited with suggesting the famous "jump scare" ending featuring a young Jason Voorhees emerging from the lake. Betsy Palmer took on the role of Mrs. Voorhees for $1,000 a day, primarily to purchase a new car, famously calling the script a "piece of junk" at the time. A young Kevin Bacon was also cast as one of the ill-fated counselors. Bacon often jokes that his character was destined to die because he followed the classic "slasher rules"—he both smoked a joint and had sex with his girlfriend, Marcie. Bacon revealed that the number one picture fans ask him to sign is a still of his own corpse with an arrow through its neck. While he is "easygoing" about autographs, he admits it is "a little bit disconcerting" to sign images of himself dead and bloody decades later. The film's success caught major studios off guard, leading to a bidding war won by Paramount Pictures for domestic rights ($1.5 million) and Warner Bros. for international rights. It was the 15th highest-grossing film of 1980 and the second most profitable for Paramount that year. Its massive return on investment proved that low-budget horror could be a major studio powerhouse, triggering the "slasher boom" of the 1980s. While critics like Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert condemned the film—even revealing the ending to discourage viewers—their attacks inadvertently fueled public curiosity. The film was a cornerstone of the early home video era, released on VHS, Betamax, LaserDisc, and CED in 1980. Over the decades, the film transitioned from a "trashy" independent flick to a cultural institution. Fans host annual "Crystal Lake Tours" at the original filming location and celebrate the series every Friday the 13th. It established horror staples like the "Final Girl" (Alice), the "ki-ki-ki, ma-ma-ma" sound effect by composer Harry Manfredini, and eventually, the legendary status of Jason Voorhees as a pop-culture icon.
