Marry Me Buddy: “Nicky Larson and the Scent of Cupid”
Philippe Lacheau in the role of Nicky Larson, based on the manga “City Hunter” by Tsukasa Hojo. Sony – Axel Films Prod. – Baf Prod – M6 Films
Tleading edge Who recommends a Philippe Lacheau film to you? Just like that, everything happens! It must be said that this one is cheerfully parodic, therefore joyfully violent, stupid like the original while remaining very solid in terms of action. Thank you Philippe!
At 9:10 p.m. on M6. Film by Philippe Lacheau (France, 2018). 1h40. With Philippe Lacheau, Élodie Fontan, Tarek Boudali. Rebroadcast.

Boris Karloff in “The Wurdulak”.

Patrick Brion completely extends Halloween by a week with his Midnight Cinema. We particularly recommend the second sketch of this film by Mario Bava, inspired by the short story The Vourdalak Family, by Alexei Tolstoy, with Boris Karloff (yes, the Dr. Frankenstein thing) capturing movie vampire!
At 1 hour on France 3. Sketch film by Mario Bava (Italy, 1963). 1h30. With Michèle Mercier, Lidia Alfonsi, Boris Karloff. Rebroadcast.
