Media Watch: (Updated 8/26/2006) OK, I watched Richard O'Brien's musical film Shock Treatment. There was even a song I liked called Little Black Dress. It stood out because it displayed some of O'Brien's wit. He worked with Jim Sharmon on the screenplay, and Richard Hartley on the musical arrangements. I was WRONG -- Uninspiring Cliff DeYoung was both Brad Majors, and his evil twin, spending most of the time bound and gagged. Nell Campbell and Charles Gray from Rocky Horror were both good in their roles.
I am going to write a little about Jessica Harper. She played "Janet Majors," with barely a word said about "Janet Weiss." She was the object of unhealthy public and private obsession in this flick. Day-um! Ms. Harper was the target of unwelcome attention in at least three movies I know of -- Phantom of the Paradise, Suspiria, and a creepy TV movie where the late, great Vic Morrow (playing one of his most loathsome villains EVER) drives Jessica's character insane with psycho-sexual torment. She was the object of Steve Martin's NEGLECT in Pennies from Heaven, but thank goodness very few people have seen that pile of poop.
Jessica Harper is a perfectly good actor, with an undeniable, if anorexic, style of beauty, but she's sure been in some odd films during her career. (NOTE: I love Suspiria, but it's not for everybody. Director Dario Argento indulges in some very violent scenes.)
