I have always been a fan of Dean Stockwell, and the man has been acting since I can remember watching things. So many different periods for him from black and white child films to Quantum Leap and David Lynch and much in between. He's managed to keep finding ways to reinvigorate his role in cinematic history. One of my favorite Dean Stockwell movies called, "Rapture," has been impossible for me to find, rent and watch, or forget... so I am putting it here in its entirety in 11 parts from YouTube. I'm not sure why it isn't available anywhere, but all my searches just end up with "The Rapture" with Mimi Rogers and David Duchovny, whereas I'm looking for the 1965 black and white version that is not about Revelations in literal terms. This one stars Patricia Gozzi and Melvyn Douglas as well as Dean Stockwell.
There's something so poignant to me about this odd little film, and the performances are so tender and true. Well, it's not as simple as that. You can watch if you like. I'll warn you that it's rated 'MY' for Melancholy. Probably not for everyone, but this way you can just take a bit from any slice you want or eat the whole pie. It'll just be here, as long as the youtube folks leave it be. Let's hear it for youtube! Quality looks pretty good too...
And now, return with me to a simpler time... NOT!

Though Postscript Girl wants me to tell you that if you go to keepvid.com and put in the url for each of these you can save them as mpeg4s and piece them together after. Don't ask me why she wanted you to know that tidbit, but now you have it.
