Fantomas Three Film Collection 05/21/19

Kino’s Studio Canal deal continues with more rare gems: Charlie Largent reviews a trio of fantastic pulp crime thrillers from the 1960s, that updates Louis Feuillade’s silent classic to the super-spy 1960s. Half- comedy and half- pop madness, these flashy ‘scope and color comic book adventures are graced with the iconic presence of Cocteau’s Jean Marais as the unstoppable criminal genius Fantômas. The pictures are Fantomas, Fantomas Unleashed and Fantomas vs. Scotland Yard; also starring Luis de Funès as Inspector Juve, with Mylène Demongeot and Robert Dalban. On Blu-ray from KL Studio Classics.
