Nov 23 08 3:25 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	<< Group shot including (I think) Hollywood gorilla man Steve Calvert. << The guy wearing a tie is Sam Katzman and this photo was taken for a LIFE article about him. According to Richard H. Kline, camera operator on tons of Katzman movies of the 1950s, "By the way, we had a very clever publicist whose name was Robert Yaeger. He could get things planted so well. He was working for Sam as a publicist for a while, and he got a two-page spread on Sam into Life magazine called "Meet Jungle Sam" [March 23, 1953]. Well, Sam hated it. Sam was featured in various pictures with an elephant and a chimp [plus a pirate, a man in a gorilla suit, midget Billy Curtis, giant Max Palmer, etc.] and the piece made him appear to be a real character. In my opinion there was nothing negative about it, I thought it was a great spread. But Sam hated it and I think he fired Bobby Yaeger."

I first mistook the young Robert Montgomery in the Romero/Laird photo as George Reeves. Last Edited By: rvoyttbots Nov 27 08 10:02 AM. Edited 4 times.

ATOM MAN). www.SnokieStories.com www.BuzzDixon.com http://twitter.com/snokiestories
