Interesting. Johnny has always said (I think) nice things about LSoH, and he is certainly entitled to his opinion. Of course, I totally disagree. But that is the way it is. As Ted said, I asked him for the inside story of how the documentary was put together (for LSoH #13), and how he was to put the final touches on it - the last pairing of Cushing and Lee. If a few people, from a distance, watched two old friends laughing at cartoons. No one was hurt. I think we often thought that Lee and Cushing spent time together out of the studio. But it really wasn't the case. Maybe an occasional telephone call. Even some of my best friends I'm lucky to see once a year. I followed Ted's endeavors to put together a Hammer documentary before most of the people involved were dead (look at how many people he interviewed, like Michael Carreras, Freddie Francis and Roy Ward Baker, are no longer with us). I have always thought that Ted's own narration was superior to that of Cushing and Lee. But comparing buyer interest between Lee and Cushing, and Ted Newsom. Yeah tough choice. I saw how Ted poured his heart and soul (and his wallet) into this. I think he succeeded. As he said, the clips that THE HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOOD used were only available because the BBC owned the rights to a particular group of films. That documentary could not be released now because the BBC would have to pay rights cash to the copyright holders.
It's a great documentary. I'm proud my old pal Ted did it. No one else was stepping up to the plate willing to go into hock to do it. Those Hammer people were there for years. But it was considered a dead company with what was believed little interest by the public in general. Only Ted made the connection.(by the way, we interviewed the directors of the BBC special in LSoH #10/11).
