Doing a little research into Italian film director Lina Wertmüller (for a post on insidevancouver.ca about @thecinematheque's retrospective of her films, which starts Sept. 8), I was reminded of the good old days of early #saturdaynightlive, when cast & crew would think nothing of doing an impersonation of an arthouse cinema fave like Wertmüller. The show was very much like #SCTV in that regard. In this photo from a 1977 episode, #larainenewman is the director, #johnbelushi is #trumancapote, and #danaykroyd is host Leonard Pinth-Garnell in a skit called Bad Cinema. #SNL #notreadyforprimetimeplayers #Italiancinema #foreigndirectors #femaledirectors #seventiesmovies #70smovies #Vancouver #filmretrospectives #sweptaway #sevenbeauties
