00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:42,Hello, my name is Jess Franco.

00:00:42,918 --> 00:00:47,I ** a director of Spanish
origin, as people say in France.

00:00:49,633 --> 00:00:53,I have done most of my
films outside of Spain.

00:00:54,096 --> 00:00:59,I have been making
movies for a long time

00:00:59,685 --> 00:01:05,which means that I have made movies
throughout General Franco's regime.

00:01:09,111 --> 00:01:12,As a director, I have made
movies just about everywhere

00:01:13,490 --> 00:01:21,in England, France, Germany,
Italy, the United States

00:01:21,582 --> 00:01:26,sometimes under various aliases.

00:01:29,256 --> 00:01:31,Hello, my name is Lina Romay.

00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,I ** an actress, originally from Spain.

00:01:36,013 --> 00:01:42,I have been in quite a few movies, not
especially in Spain and maybe this is

00:01:42,477 --> 00:01:46,the reason why you
haven't heard much about me.

00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:49,I too have worked
under different aliases.

00:01:50,819 --> 00:01:55,I ** very happy to
be watching this film.

00:02:00,412 --> 00:02:04,So then, what can I tell you?

00:02:04,249 --> 00:02:08,You are seeing the first
images, here under the credits.

00:02:11,340 --> 00:02:21,I made this movie about twelve,
fourteen years ago, right?

00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:22,Yes, approximately.

00:02:23,060 --> 00:02:26,We shot the film in Paris.

00:02:27,606 --> 00:02:30,It's a French film.

00:02:31,276 --> 00:02:35,It is not a Spanish co-production.

00:02:38,450 --> 00:02:48,The producer was Mr. Rene
Chéateau who wrote the script.

00:02:49,044 --> 00:02:54,He was credited as Fred
Castle, scriptwriter

00:02:54,966 --> 00:02:58,but he is the same
person, Mr. Rene Chéateau.

00:03:02,057 --> 00:03:13,We shot the film in Paris in six
weeks, also in the suburbs of Paris.

00:03:15,904 --> 00:03:19,And in the middle of the winter.

00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:23,As you can see it's Christmas in Paris.

00:03:23,704 --> 00:03:36,That's because it was really
Christmas when we shot the film.

00:03:37,926 --> 00:03:42,I had a great cast for this film.

00:03:44,766 --> 00:03:47,As you can see, the
actors are well known,

00:03:48,186 --> 00:03:51,really great people,

00:03:55,819 --> 00:04:00,We also had a large crew,
something that I don't usually have.

00:04:00,949 --> 00:04:02,There were even some
technicians whom I did not know.

00:04:04,661 --> 00:04:13,And I would see people on the
set, that I didn't even know.

00:04:14,963 --> 00:04:20,Because René Chateau didn't
want to have a big production

00:04:21,595 --> 00:04:24,because he was
used to it at the time

00:04:24,431 --> 00:04:26,when he was in partnership
with Jean-Paul Belmondo

00:04:27,184 --> 00:04:31,and he made huge
budget films with him

00:04:32,272 --> 00:04:38,he made big movies with Henri Verneuil
or directors of that caliber.

00:04:38,028 --> 00:04:44,His films were commercial
films, but they were well made.

00:04:45,035 --> 00:04:49,And so I decided to make this
a smaller production because

00:04:49,039 --> 00:04:52,it put me more at ease.

00:04:52,417 --> 00:04:57,I like it when I know everyone is
the film, and what everyone does.

00:04:57,130 --> 00:04:59,But that was not the case here.

00:05:00,717 --> 00:05:06,What is more, René was very
nervous during the shoot.

00:05:06,515 --> 00:05:09,It was his first time
as a solo producer.

00:05:11,478 --> 00:05:14,And so he was full of
doubts, he could not sleep.

00:05:14,272 --> 00:05:17,He would call in the middle
of the night to tell me

00:05:17,567 --> 00:05:25,let's fire this guy, let's change
that, etc. He was really hysterical.

00:05:26,618 --> 00:05:35,But in spite of all this, the
film turned out quite well.

00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:43,For example, the director of
photography did a superb job.

00:05:45,303 --> 00:05:48,Maurice Fellous is a great
director of photography

00:05:48,139 --> 00:05:51,he was also very nervous

00:05:51,685 --> 00:05:55,yet he was very
logical and very good.

00:05:56,606 --> 00:05:59,The crew was all very, very good.

00:06:01,444 --> 00:06:07,The only problem was that,
with René being anxious

00:06:08,952 --> 00:06:13,we changed technicians,
almost every week,

00:06:14,833 --> 00:06:19,but other than that, most
of the team did not change.

00:06:21,006 --> 00:06:24,The composer was Mr. Romano Musumarra

00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:30,an Italian composer who
has written pop themes

00:06:30,849 --> 00:06:36,who was going to write
the rest of the soundtrack.

00:06:37,105 --> 00:06:43,However, when he saw a
first edit of the film

00:06:43,987 --> 00:06:53,he was afraid because he thought
it was a horrible film, dreadful

00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:56,he could not even look at the screen.

00:06:57,083 --> 00:07:00,And so he decided, finally,
together we decided

00:07:01,630 --> 00:07:05,that we would keep his
songs, his pop music

00:07:07,469 --> 00:07:10,but for the rest of the soundtrack

00:07:11,306 --> 00:07:16,Daniel White and I
would write our own music

00:07:16,561 --> 00:07:24,mostly for the dramatic
and horror scenes.

00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:33,Nevertheless, I ** not 100% happy
at how the film turned out

00:07:34,955 --> 00:07:41,I think we spent too much for
some things and not enough for others.

00:07:42,963 --> 00:07:46,At the beginning, the
special effects were fine

00:07:47,801 --> 00:07:50,but Rene Chéateau wanted to
prepare them as we were shooting.

00:07:51,179 --> 00:07:53,I was used to the American way
of doing things

00:07:54,474 --> 00:07:58,which is to shoot the
movie first, and then

00:07:59,062 --> 00:08:06,to create all the
effects in a studio after.

00:08:09,614 --> 00:08:14,But he was afraid that the special
effects would not match the sequences.

00:08:15,537 --> 00:08:19,And so we lost a lot of time

00:08:20,041 --> 00:08:22,and even the quality suffered

00:08:23,003 --> 00:08:28,because if they go out, if the special
effects men work in their studio

00:08:28,967 --> 00:08:32,they have all the elements all the
things that they need to do a good job.

00:08:32,971 --> 00:08:39,But if they have to work on location,
where the film is being shot

00:08:39,019 --> 00:08:41,and most of the time we were
in real settings, real places

00:08:42,856 --> 00:08:44,it's not the same for them.

00:08:44,649 --> 00:08:47,But it was fine as far
as I was concerned.

00:08:50,113 --> 00:08:53,I did not mind going along with
what René Chateau wanted to do.

00:08:54,409 --> 00:08:57,[LINA] But if there's a tiny
problem, even something small

00:08:58,079 --> 00:08:59,you have to stop
shooting and that's it!

00:09:00,331 --> 00:09:07,They do not have all the equipment
they need to do it, to make corrections.

00:09:09,674 --> 00:09:13,[JESS] As far as I ** concerned,
after all these years

00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,I like this film a bit more.

00:09:15,722 --> 00:09:17,I detested it when I
finished making it

00:09:19,309 --> 00:09:22,because of all these
irritations, these problems.

00:09:23,772 --> 00:09:27,I didn't do the editing.

00:09:28,735 --> 00:09:31,I was there because
I wanted to be there

00:09:32,030 --> 00:09:34,and René Chéateau did
not want me to be there

00:09:35,408 --> 00:09:40,maybe he wanted to
direct the editing himself.

00:09:42,332 --> 00:09:50,I believe the end result is quite
good; it lacks originality

00:09:50,715 --> 00:09:54,it's not particularly classy, but

00:09:54,344 --> 00:10:00,it is professionally well-made, sturdy.

00:10:01,351 --> 00:10:03,That's really all I can tell you.

00:10:04,062 --> 00:10:08,[INT] Could you tell me a little
about the actors in this movie

00:10:09,234 --> 00:10:14,the stars such as Helmut
Berger, Brigitte Lahaie and others?

00:10:22,038 --> 00:10:27,[JESS] Well, René and I
made the decisions;

00:10:28,294 --> 00:10:30,First we discussed them

00:10:30,755 --> 00:10:35,because he wanted some actors
that maybe I did not want, etc.

00:10:35,552 --> 00:10:41,But in principle, we agreed very easily
about the leading actors because

00:10:41,349 --> 00:10:42,for example

00:10:42,725 --> 00:10:45,if someone proposes Stéphane
Audran for a role in the movie

00:10:45,979 --> 00:10:47,you say yes right away

00:10:48,273 --> 00:10:52,because it's a privilege
to have an actress like her

00:10:52,735 --> 00:10:54,for what is practically
a secondary role, your know?

00:10:57,157 --> 00:11:03,Helmut was for us- for me and
for René- ideal for the part.

00:11:05,290 --> 00:11:11,His agent was difficult however
and we had a problem, Rene and

00:11:11,129 --> 00:11:16,with Helmut's agent, but in
the end we were able to get him

00:11:16,926 --> 00:11:18,and that was good.

00:11:18,595 --> 00:11:22,At the time, Helmut
had the reputation

00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:24,of being a very difficult
actor to work with

00:11:24,309 --> 00:11:27,he was very difficult
because he would disappear

00:11:27,604 --> 00:11:29,he would leave in the middle
of shooting, things like that.

00:11:30,773 -->...
