ECCO / FORBIDDEN

(1965)


In 1963, filmmakers Bob Cresse and Lee Frost (HOUSE ON BARE MOUNTAIN, LOVE CAMP 7) saw the U.S. grosses of MONDO CANE and quickly imported and adapted the shockumentary of the decade. Narrated by Academy Award® winner George Sanders (ALL ABOUT EVE) and featuring a legendary soundtrack by Riz Ortolani (Oscar®-nominated for MONDO CANE’s ‘More’), ECCO explores a world of delinquency, roller derby, extreme piercing, appalling stereotypes and the infamous Lapland women sequence, now scanned in 4k from the original internegative. Bonus feature THE FORBIDDEN is Frost & Cresse’s rarely seen – and totally insane –1966 fake Mondo, packed with staged scenes, newly-transferred from the only known 35mm print in existence.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

1. Your avatar is a handsome cat.  Is he yours?

You are a person of good taste.  Yes, that's Albert and he's a handsome gentleman cat of 16 years.  He snoozes on my desk while overseeing all eBay activities to ensure I meet his high standards.  He is a kind and furry overlord.

 

2. Will you please hold an item for me until I get paid next week?

I'm sorry, but no.  I rely on eBay for my income and as such I can't hold items.  Albert likes high priced cat food and I hate to disappoint him.

 

3. How soon will you ship my item?

I ship the next business day from Monday through Friday.  If you purchase an item and pay for it on Tuesday, for example, it will be packaged Tuesday night and sent out with my mail carrier on Wednesday.  Items paid for on the weekend will be shipped on Monday.

 

4.. I have other questions.  Can I ask you something else?

Go for it.  Just send me a message on eBay and I will reply as soon as I can.  I'm more than happy to carry on a conversation about movies, anime, the magnificence of Albert the cat and pretty much anything else that sparks my interest
