Shown as part of the Tribute to George Kuchar program; George Kuchar in person.
In 1966, shortly after Kuchar and his twin brother and creative partner Mike had parted to work upon individual projects, George produced what has proven to be his most popular and most durable film to date, the legendary Hold Me While I'm Naked. Embedded in this universally appealing tale of sexual frustration are scenes and strategies which would emerge as stylistic trademarks in most of the films made from the late ’60s through ’70s—the period of high camp and funky melodrama most closely associated with George.
FACTOID #300
When she attended the 1980 San Francisco International Film Festival for a tribute, Federico Fellini’s wife and muse Giulietta Masina, admitted that she accepted a bit part in the American film The Madwoman of Chaillot (despite the fact that she could not speak English) just so she could get costar Katherine Hepburn’s autograph.
