Capital Celluloid 2026 — Day 292: Wed Oct 21

The Mad Bomber (Gordon, 1972): Nickel Cinema, 8.55pm

This is a 16mm season.

Time Out review:
Detective Vince Edwards hunts Los Angeles for dynamiter Chuck Connors (a nicely quirky characterisation), who is writing to the papers to explain that his bombs are punishments meted out to society. The victims include a high school, a hospital, a Women's Lib group...and aid comes from the unlikely quarter of a pathetic rapist (Brand, another fine performance). Shoddily assembled, but brightly conceived and very well acted, it has a genuine 'B' movie vitality. (From a story by Marc Behm).

Here (and above) is the trailer.
