Ted Newsom and Sid Terror sent me PMed instructions, but I could get as far as the last step and then nothing. It turned out that I had to do some sort of board update, I had been ignoring that message that was on top of the screen on the main page. Once I did that, posting pics was simple. I only turned up that piece of info in some unrelated thread that I stumbled upon. I wish that I could do screen grabs also. Most of my viewing in on the TV set via telecast or DVD, and the PC is not part of the connection.

Lionel Atwill was at his best, drinking tea and trying to steal Irene Dunne from John ("Frankenstein") Boles. Later, Boles is in his law office and another familiar-looking lawyer says "Oh,no, no" -----It should have been "No Mina, nooooo!". It was none other than Herbert Bunston, old Doc Seward. Himself

Jan 4 12 6:08 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Watched OKLAHOMA TERRITORY (1960) on Netflix Streaming today. It's a not-very-good western, running just over an hour (pretty short for that late in the day), with Bill Williams starring as two-fisted prosecuting attorney Temple Houston. Lots of familiar faces in the cast, including three sci-fi '50s favorites. Lovely Gloria Talbott in dark Indian makeup as a native American beauty who struggled to achieve a white man's education so she might be an acceptable wife for the great white D.A. (That's a paraphrase of a clunky line that Talbott manages to spit out.) Gloria thankfully brings her trademark '50s bullet bra (or was it a bullet chest?) to the Wild West. Walter Sande appeared in SON OF DRACULA, but really hit his genre stride in the '50s with his "Martian Trilogy"--WAR OF THE WORLDS, RED PLANET MARS, INVADERS FROM MARS, and even struggled into the '60s in NAVY VS. THE NIGHT MONSTER. In this western Sande plays his typical authority figure, in this case an honest, good-hearted sheriff. Tom Browne Henry seemed to spend most of the '50s in uniform. He's familiar from EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS, BEGINNING OF THE END, 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH and more. In OKLAHOMA TERRITORY he plays a fair-minded frontier judge who spends most of his screentime banging his gavel, and all of his screentime looking grumpy. Matter of fact, "Grumpy" would be a pretty good nickname for Henry in most of his screen appearances.

Jan 28 12 10:49 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I've been working my way through the Joe McDoakes shorts. Quite a few familiar faces, Lyle Talbot in SO YOU WANT TO BE YOUR OWN BOSS, Herb Vigran in a couple, Harry Lauter in SO YOU DON'T TRUST YOUR WIFE (this credit was not on IMDb, I've made an attempt to add it, we shall see.) Even Doris Day and Gordon Macrae turn up in SO YOU WANT A TELEVISION SET. Also in that entry, we see this familiar face, engaged in activity he was very comfortable with. Tor being choked now. Need help! edit: almost forgot my favorite line in this short. The lovely Phyllis Coates, playing Mrs. McDoakes for the umpteenth time, is trying to convince Joe to buy a television set. She says, "...but television is gradually replacing entertainment..." Last Edited By: Rick Jan 30 12 8:06 AM. Edited 1 times.

Feb 6 12 10:48 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	TCM is having Oscar Month, which is usually a bore for me. However, since I like Monte Woolley, I decided to record HOLY MATRIMONY (1943). What a pleasant surprise! According to the introduction, this comedy was based on a book called BURIED ALIVE--yes, a comedy. Monty is a great artist, called back to England to be knighted by the king. When he arrives in London, his valet (Eric Blore) promptly takes ill and dies. The doctor mistakes Monte for the valet and reports the great artist dead. Monte, who dislikes the public attention of being a national treasure of sorts, allows the error to go uncorrected. We have Franklin Pangborn as a relative who thinks Monte is a madman when he claims to be himself, Una O'Connor (without any screams only a Cockney accent) as the long lost wife of the valet, Blore. The best was the courtroom scene with Alan Mowbray and George Zucco as opposing lawyers, questioning O'Connor and Pangborn. Laird Cregar (The LODGER), Billy Bevan, Lumsden Hare, Ian Wolfe, Whit Bissell (Michael Landon's evil scientist in TEENAGE WEREWOLF), and the sweet and lovely Gracie Fields as the love interest fill out the cast.

From a play titled BURIED ALIVE by Arnold Bennett, it was filmed twice as a silent, then in the '30s as HIS DOUBLE LIFE with Roland Young and Lillian Gish. Then in the '60s, a musical version of the story opened (and quickly closed) on Broadway. It was directed by that KISSin VAMPIRE himself, Noel Willman. And the star -- that famed musical theatre star...VINCENT PRICE!

Feb 13 12 1:14 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Paul Bartel's PRIVATE PARTS features Dorothy Neumann as a crazy tenant who advises the cops not to disturb a certain guest because "he's probably still jerk'n off!" That, THE TERROR, and an episode of THRILLER, "Masquerade" (the only one to deal with vampires).

He played a saboteur trying to stop the shipment of machine tools from a defense plant. Somewhat ironic as when he died, the death certificate had him listed as being a tool designer since he was working at Lockheed to do his bit in the war effort.

Feb 25 12 5:48 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Watched an old episode of Wagon Train last night - the second part of Trial for Murder. A vertiable Who's Who of classic fantasy. The two opposing lawyers are played by Henry (Werewolf of London) Hull and Henry (Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake) Daniell. Hull in particular is magnificent. The defendent is Marhshall (IT!) Thompson, one of the witnesses is William (Mant) Schallert, John (Doctor Who) Alderson has an uncredited part, Connie (Twilight Zone) Gilchrist and of course regular Ward (Son of Frankenstein) Bond. Hull in particular was magnificent.

Mar 9 12 2:43 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Just finished watching THE VAGABOND KING from '56. It's a really, deeply silly operetta which appears to have recycled some of the dopier costumes from KISS ME, KATE, so such unlikely souls as Leslie Nielsen, Jack Lord, Frank De Kova, and William Prince caper about in costumes that would embarrass the most fey of chorus boys. The film's narration (only heard in the film's first minute or so) comes courtesy of the unmistakable tones of Vincent Price, no less. Operettas are, by their very nature, pretty darn silly. But the makers of THE VAGABOND KING seem to have gone out of their way to kill the form, destroy the movie, and mortify the cast.

Mar 15 12 10:53 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Just watched JIVARO on Netflix streaming. It's a sweaty jungle epic in which Fernando Lamas and Brian Keith both spend much of the film with their shirts off, while the gorgeous Rhonda Fleming stays pretty much over-dressed. Makes one wonder the target audience they were aiming at. The most interesting thing to me is that this film, released less than a month before CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, finds both Richard Denning and Nestor Paiva on the banks of a South American river, and, once again, in 3-D. You might think there was some sort of package deal going on except that JIVARO comes from Paramount and not Universal. Also along for the ride is our old buddy Lon Chaney Jr. The movie is really all Lamas, Fleming, and Keith. Our genre trio have not much more than one scene each, though Lon does get to indulge in his second-favorite activity and have a friendly brawl with Fernando Lamas. Here's a screen grab apiece for our boys: Nestor and his sweaty friends. Mr. Evelyn Ankers playing drunk and bearded. Creighton taking his corn unfermented.

Mar 18 12 2:49 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I caught JIVARO in all its coming-at-ya glory at the first World 3D Film Expo in 2006. Pretty much a snooze-inducer as I recall, although it was fun seeing Richard Denning do the same seafaring stewbum shtick that he originated in UNKNOWN ISLAND, only here with a bit more, er, depth.

I've been advised not to play Warner Archive discs on my PC, otherwise I'd have attempted some screen snaps. Ironically, on the same page as the pics from THE UNDERWORLD STORY, there was a shot from MOONFLEET which was one of the other four DVDs that I got from the Archive during the last 5/50 sale. BTW, I agree with the poster's favorable opinion of THE UNDERWORLD STORY. This is one that I'll be breaking out often to show it to friends who've probably never heard of it before. According to the IMDb, this was Van Sloan's last appearance on film.
