Yanco

Oh my, how great to find this little review of Yanco. I saw this movie back in 1960-something. Here in Philadelphia we had a number of small art-house "cinemas" and the leading one, in terms of daring and originality was called the Bandbox, on Armat Street in Germantown. It had a rowdy bar next door and you could hear R&B music coming through the walls while you sat and watched those great old B&W films like Seventh Seal, Freaks, Ninotchka. In the case of Yanco, I have been haunted ever since I first saw it. I have never met anyone else since who recollects having seen it. I want to see it again. Certain visuals have stayed with me all through these years. Thank you to the reviewer who briefly discussed this. You revived my memory. I've always wondered, If the movie was so great, why have I never heard of it since? To say more might be spoiling part of the plot, because I do not remember the sequence in which the images I remember happened. Wonderful movie. Thanks.
