THE LIVING IDOL should have been called ‘The Living End’, as this is one bizarre movie. The last of just a handful of pictures directed by the estimable stylist Albert Lewin, it sadly was the living end to his career as a director. He also came up with the story, wrote the screenplay and acted as […]
