One night in 1996 I switched on Turner Network Europe at about midnight, I expected to see either the 'WCW' or an old US government information film from the 40's. If it had been the former I would have gone to bed. But it was the latter. Which was then closely followed by a trailer for the feature at midnight. I was intrigued and stayed up to watch. 'Private Parts' isn't a easy film to watch at 3 am, though it is a great film. The photography and the mood created is impeccable. From the nod to Hitchcock in the bathroom scene to the oddly familiar corridors of the hotel. But to be honest I forgot about this film for a few years. Though something jogged my memory and I had to seek it out again.
I was not disappointed. The second time not hampered by fatigue I could see what a great film this is. Defiantly a forgotten gem. Turner Classic Film's has been known to show this film in the UK and it is well worth a look. Sadly they no longer show old info film. So I can no longer use the ten point test to see if my co worker is a Soviet Spy...
