The thing that annoys me is Paul Frees' voice coming out of the mouths of so many of the characters -- and even doing the grunting of some of the monsters, etc. When I'm trying to enjoy a movie and get into the story, I don't need Paul Frees' name flashing through my brain 75 times.

Reminds me of the time that we first went to Orlando - thirty years ago this weekend. We were in The Hall of Presidents and after about the fifth or sixth "President" spoke, my six-year-old son said "All the Presidents sound alike." Frees had done every voice in the exhibit.

I had the film MIDWAY on the other day - for a few minutes anyway. When we got to the part where Frees' voice came out of Toshiro Mifune's mouth, it was time to bail out. It was enough up until then looking at those silly wigs on the respective heads of Heston and Holbrook.

As for ATLANTIS: THE LOST CONTINENT, I saw it back in 1961 when I was nearly ten years old. Pal was one of the first behind-the-scenes guys to be familiar to me - he and the more public William Castle were "brand names" to this little kid. I expected a lot but was most disappointed. Even to a youngster it was all so by-the-numbers.

I've watched it twice in the last two years and I can't dig up any nostalgic feelings about it at all. The male and female leads are unappealing, have no chemistry. Hopefully between takes Dall and Kroeger recalled better days together in DEADLY IS THE FEMALE.
