Georges Franju est un réalisateur français, né le 12 avril 1912 à Fougères et mort le 5 novembre 1987 à Paris 16e. Né en 1912, il exerce différents métiers dont décorateur de théâtre, mais surtout rencontre en 1934 Henri Langlois, passionné de cinéma comme lui. Ils réalisent ensemble un court-métrage, Le Métro, sorti en 1935. Puis il participe en 1936, toujours avec Langlois, à la création de la Cinémathèque française, bénéficiant du soutien de Paul-Auguste Harlé. Il devient en 1938 secrétaire exécutif de la Fédération internationale des archives du film (FIAF). Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Georges Franju se fait connaître avec des courts métrages documentaires, d'un réalisme sans concession, mais avec de courts passages surréalistes et poétiques, comme Le Sang des bêtes sur le monde des abattoirs mais avec des images d'une péniche qui semble glisser sur la terre ferme, En passant par la Lorraine sur les aciéries mosellanes, ou encore Hôtel des Invalides sur les «gueules cassées», comprenant aussi des images d'une armée d'armures vides, etc. De 1945 à 1953, il est aussi secrétaire général d'un Institut de cinématographie scientifique, créé par Jean Painlevé. On retrouve ce style de mise en scène froid et cette poésie un peu fantastique dans ses longs métrages comme La Tête contre les murs (interprété par Jean-Pierre Mocky, auteur du scénario), qui se déroule dans un asile psychiatrique, ou son chef-d'œuvre Les Yeux sans visage, authentique film d'horreur dont certaines scènes annoncent le cinéma gore (qui apparaîtra trois ans plus tard avec Orgie sanglante de Herschell Gordon Lewis), mais sans son versant grand-guignol. George A. Romero s'inspirera d'ailleurs de cette œuvre pour son film Bruiser, avec le masque blanc neutre comme dans celui de Franju. Dans Judex tourné en 1963 avec Edith Scob et Francine Bergé, il affiche son penchant pour l'insolite et affirme son goût d'une mise en scène expressionniste. En 1965, par l'intermédiaire de l'éditeur et ancien repris de justice Georges Figon, il rencontre le journaliste Philippe Bernier, qui travaille sur un projet de film documentaire consacré à la décolonisation. C'est dans ces circonstances qu'il est impliqué malgré lui dans l'affaire Ben Barka. Il adapte aussi Thérèse Desqueyroux de François Mauriac (1962) et La Faute de l'abbé Mouret d'Émile Zola(1970). Mort à 75 ans le 5 novembre 1987, il est inhumé à Dourdan (Essonne). Source: Article "Georges Franju" de Wikipédia en français, soumis à la licence CC-BY-SA 3.0.

Tara Strohmeier was an attractive, appealing, and energetic actress who worked with pleasing regularity in entertainingly trashy 1970's drive-in exploitation fare. With her cute face, curly mass of frizzy dark hair, smoldering blue eyes, buxom, shapely figure, engagingly sweet'n'sassy upbeat personality, and boundless vitality, the alluring brunette was a substantial and delightful asset to any given film she appeared in. Tara gave a hilarious performance as aspiring B-flick starlet Jill McBain in the uproarious "Hollywood Boulevard." Other notable roles include an enticing teenager in "The Student Teachers," a saucy prostitute in the exciting blaxploitation blast "Truck Turner," a foxy model in "Cover Girl Models," and Claudia Jennings' sister in the terrific "The Great Texas Dynamite Chase." Strohmeier also had a memorably sexy bit in the sidesplitting sketch comedy hoot "The Kentucky Fried Movie." Tara appeared in three films for director Jonathan Kaplan and often acted in movies for Roger Corman's prolific grindhouse studio New World Pictures. Moreover, Strohmeier acted in the enjoyable comedy features "Malibu Beach" and "Van Nuys Blvd." for the rival exploitation outfit Crown International Pictures. Alas, following her bit part in the made-for-TV thriller "11th Victim" Tara suddenly stopped acting. She now lives in Orange County, California.
