HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY: MINISODE 2 – EYES OF LAURA MARS
For the second in our series of minisodes in which we explore the 60s and 70s films that helped make Faye Dunaway a star, we take a look at the 1978 supernatural cult thriller Eyes of Laura Mars. In the film, Faye plays the title character, a renowned New York fashion photographer whose works spark controversy due to a melding of high fashion and striking violence. However, when Laura starts to experience horrific visions in which she sees the people in her life murdered, she turns to a handsome detective (Tommy Lee Jones) for help. Co-host of Pfeiffer Pfridays, Jerry Downey, returns to talk about this unique late-70s slasher, specifically its heavy giallo influences, its comment on what constitutes art, and how well this project served Faye as a follow-up to her Oscar win.
YOUR HOST
Frank Calvillo (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, What Ever Happened to Bette & Joan?, Hollywood Royalty)
Born and raised in South Texas, Frank currently lives in Austin and has been in love with movies ever since his father showed him some Three Stooges shorts when he was five years old. Today he loves all kinds of film, regardless of era, country, budget or genre. He believes every film has an audience and is at least one person’s favorite movie. After writing for Sight & Sound and Slackerwood, he now writes for Cinapse where his increasingly random taste in all flavors of cinema (from Rashomon to Mars Attacks!) continues to thrive. His ultimate goal is to write a script for his boyhood crush, Michelle Pfeiffer.
