At Monster Bash in 2011, Gordon talked on-camera (again for Griffith) about the 1951 SCROOGE (aka A CHRISTMAS CAROL) for an upcoming DVD release. That was his last on-camera appearance, I'm pretty sure. What's the Gordon/Scrooge connection?

Although I'm no fan of sleaze, I think the version with the nudity is the better of the two. It makes Vorelli even nastier. You get a quick taste of his sadism at the beginning with the volunteer hypnotized into thinking he's about to be executed. This aspect of Vorelli is strengthened by the poor concertist who does the professional looking striptease. What her friends must be thinking! I'd really hate to be her the next morning. And as for the fight at the end, it's right up there with, say, Dana Andrews' tussle with Grimalkin in Curse of the Demon.

It's a whodunit, and not a very good one. At the very end, they make up a midget bellhop to look like a dummy in order to expose the murderer, but there's no "Banquo's Chair" style twist that would push into genre territory. Instead, there's a lot of very boring musical numbers to waste the time. Last Edited By: Andrew Kidd Dec 30 12 3:48 PM. Edited 1 times.
