Ding Dong Merrily on High
Alex Cox was impressed by Alain Cuny in EMMANUELLE, particularly his ability to say “Let me take you to les dernier limites d’erotisme” with a straight face. But I guess when you have a face like Cuny (left) it can’t help but be straight. His anguished granite slab might, in other circumstances, have made a great basis for a Quasimodo, but he instead gets the plum role of Archbishop Frollo, watching as Anthony Quinn chews up the even meatier part.

Archdeacon Frollo, actually.

Oh yes. I don’t know the difference.

Good job you weren’t around when Archdeacon Frollo or his Archbishop were. Blasphemy or heresy, your fate would be the same…

Our King James IV was a great fan of the torture method shown in this movie, which in Scotland was called “the bootikins.” Cutesiest name for a torture device ever?
