World Premiere:
GONE WITH THE POPE, 1976, Grindhouse Releasing, 83 min. Writer-director-producer Duke Mitchell stars as Paul, a criminal with an unholy scheme: to kidnap the pope and charge "a dollar from every Catholic in the world" as ransom. This deliriously entertaining saga was shot in 1976 but remained unfinished until 2009. Now fully realized in 35mm!
MASSACRE MAFIA STYLE (aka THE EXECUTIONER), 1978, Grindhouse Releasing, 83 min. Duke Mitchell wrote, directed and stars in this hyper-violent mob movie that plays like THE GODFATHER at half the length and twice the carnage. An exiled mob leader returns to the U.S. to try to re-establish himself, only to set off a bloody gangland war.
Discussion in between films with GONE WITH THE POPE co-stars Jim LoBianco and John Murgia and cinematographer Peter Santoro and editors Robert Florio and Bob Leighton. Other guests to be announced!
