Excerpt from the film "ECCO" (1963)

Gianni Proia's 'shock-umentary' ECCO contains this short scene, which the filmmaker claims is of the final performance at the Grand Guignol Theatre. Whether this is true or not is unclear, as much of the other 'reality' footage in the film appears to be either staged or grossly misrepresented. We do believe, however, that the footage does show actors from the Grand Guignol performing a scene for the cameras as well as some brief interior shots of the theatre itself.

2 1/2 minutes. 3.8mb. QuickTime required.
