VSBfromH 74 Posted November 18, 2005 Wolf Rilla has died Hadn't heard of him, but apparently he directed the original "Village of the Damned" in 1960. Thought he is worth noting as his IMDB entry contains some other interesting titles: "Watch it, Sailor!" "Secrets of a Door-to-Door Salesman" (aka "Naughty Wives") "Bedtime with Rosie"* *Starring Una Stubbs, Diana Dors and Johnny "Mike Baldwin" Briggs - is it available on DVD I wonder?!
