Looking for mushrooms.
While I tentatively get the Dusk to Dawn Project (v. 2) under way, I might as well throw this out there: There’s a number of films I’d very much like to cover for this that have proven a little elusive. If anyone has a line on where to find a copy of any of these, I’d be really appreciative. (Not that I expect anyone reading this to have a print of Santa’s Christmas Circus or a non-German-dubbed The Manson Massacre in storage somewhere, but maybe an old taped-off-HBO copy of Birds Do It, Bees Do It or the VHS of The Stepdaughter, which I’ve missed opportunities to purchase affordably at least three times?)
Anyway, here’s the missing pieces. Gimme a holler if you can make any of them un-missing. (Also, if anyone has a copy of Randall Clark’s book At a Theater or Drive-In Near You, I’d kinda like to read that.)
Birds Do It, Bees Do It (1974, Nicholas Noxon & Irwin Rosten)
Blazing Battle (1983, Imam Tantowi)
The Brave Little Tailor (1956, Helmut Spier) [the English dub, preferably, but even a subbed version would help, since the extant OOP German DVD has no subtitles]

The Fountain of Love (1966, Ernst Hofbauer)
