Six Feet Four (1919)
I love the author and his work
Jackson Gregory is considered one of the "sons" of California writers. He is a descendant of the De la Guerra and Hartnell family, shipping magnet and land owner of early California history. He wrote over forty books and several were made into movies in England's early movie day.
I have not seen this movie, but have read many of his books. One of the things that I, as a woman, really appreciate about this author is that he wrote about strong women in a time when this was rarely done. I would love to see the movie, and if anyone has knowledge as to where a copy could be found, it would be greatly treasured.
Oh, by the way, I am his granddaughter, so I could be ever so biased.
The Fox (1967)
"The Fox" was an unusual movie for it time.
I have been looking for this movie ever since videos first became available. I saw it when I was twenty and was deeply moved by this honest look at sexuality, especially for its day. The subtle introduction of the animal, a fox, and the male visitor, fox like, was a great work of art.
I would love to view it again in light of today's more open sexual expression and see if it indeed was as good as I remember. I have never met another person who has seen the movie and wonder if it had wide screening. I lived in Southern California, which might explain why many did not have a chance to hear of it. For its day, it was a real eye opener to relationships and beautifully composed. I look forward to the day that it is put on DVD.
