Sample text
After a piece of paper is inserted into his sock, the secret agent starts to leave, only to see his "contact" gunned down by two bearded men (John Fles and Stanton Kaye: "Stanton went on to become an apprentice grip on The Shooting, then later a film maker" 15 ). After escaping from the assassins, XKlSO reads the message in his sock, dons a ridiculous disguise (consisting of sunglasses and a fake moustache), and proceeds to the Santo Domingo bar, where he meets agent XK120, a young woman played by Jaclyn Hellman.
33 But one might speculate on the possibility that Corman was repulsed by the idea of sponsoring a film about a character trying to raise such a small amount of money, a notion that flies in the face of everything Hollywood represents. 34 Another film Hellman wanted to make during this period was Fraternity Hell Week, to be produced by Corman's assistant Kinta Zertuche from a screenplay by Robert Towne. According to Hellman, this "fell apart because we couldn't get the cooperation of Stanford University (or, I assume, UCLA).
Although the final shot of Hellman's sequence anticipates a motif from Corman's film - that of Factor standing over the corpses of Americans and Germans for whose deaths he has been responsible - the 1962 footage essentially functions as a self-contained unit. Hellman strips the World War II movie of its propagandistic element, and if his attitude is best summed up by Grammelsbacher's "they're human beings and I'm a human being," the tone is less pacifist than existential; having little interest in defending democracy, the soldiers would rather be "anywhere but here," and Factor's initial non-encounter with a Nazi patrol is marked by that vague sense of disappointment and averted confrontation which distinguishes Warren Oates' avoidance of a hostile redneck in Two-Lane Blacktop.
