The thriller is really an endangered species on Broadway and Off-Broadway. I read an interview with Russell in which he said that he was very impressed when he first read the play. Suddenly, Isherwood is telling us that, for the most part, the evening is bad, bad, bad.

I saw it on TCM some time ago, but haven't been able to find it anywhere since. Would you be able to convert it to disc? Also, do you have any type of "Making of The Devils" feature? Thanks

There's a 20 minute film called DIRECTOR OF DEVILS (a lot of which is about scoring the film), which I used to have on 16mm. I have never seen it on tape or DVD. I'll poke around for THE BOY FRIEND short.

I forget) that was actually done maybe 30 years later; KR reminiscing, along with Twiggy, about the film's production. It was probably a program about Twiggy, but I only recall this part.
