Title: Dan Ireland has Died
Post by: Rosebud on April 16, 2016, 05:26:48 AM
It really bothered me to learn that one of Ken Russell's biggest allies in the film world has died.  Without Dan Ireland, I don't think "Salome's Last Dance," "The Lair of the White Worm," "The Rainbow," and "Whore" would have seen the light of day.  I was also pleased to learn that he also a big supporter of  Paul Verhoeven's early Dutch films.  The guy had great taste.  I attached a link to the Variety Obituary below.
