Is that the "James Bond" Ian Fleming in Soldiers Without Uniform?
Have you ever contacted the
Eastman Kodak House to see if they have a print of any of these? That's the only place in America that I can think of that
might have a copy.

I'd like to add a comment about Gene Autry wanting to be remembered as a "regular guy," because that's exactly how my father remembered him.
To help the war effort Gene was commissioned by
the U.S. Army Air Corps as an instructor pilot at Cal-Aero in Chino, California where he happened to have
taught my dad to fly.
After their day was over, Gene used to buy the guys a beer and shoot the ...

Along with his partner Ben Carter, Mantan did one of the best two-man "talk" routines ever. Luckily pieces of the bit was saved in several Charlie
Chan films. For a long time it was
not politically correct to appreciate Moreland and his "humor". I'm happy to see he is finally getting his
due.

Chaney had half of his voicebox removed, probably late in 1968 (same procedure as Jack Klugman and much the same result), so of course he knew why he sounded
like that. He would've been undergoiing cobalt treatments at the time, and going on the DvF (filmed a few months earlier) anecdote from Graver in a
somewhat morbid
frame of mind. He did get remission but also serious heart problems, probably...

I'm a western fan too, and Hinds was mighty fine in the very untypical role of corrupt, tobacco-chawing "Judge Slade" in cahoots with Brian
Donlevy's gang of owlhoots in
DESTRY RIDES AGAIN. Like Lewis Stone, Lionel Barrymore, Henry B. Walthall, H.B. Warner, Donald Crisp, Russell Simpson and
lots of other fine character actors, the man just seemed to exude decency and rectitude in most of his ...

I've always found Bela's performance in
THE DEVIL BAT oddly nuanced and subtle. Bela's "goodbyes" are funny, wicked, and oddly remorseful
all at the same time. And Bela's character would be on some level sad to kill these young people he watched grow up from babies. Was this something from
from the director or did it spring from Bela's own interpretation of the character?
And I can't quite ...

I was fortunate enough to see Carolyn Jones onstage a few years after
The Addams Family . She was playing the only female role in a touring production
of Harold Pinter's The Homecoming . It's vital for that role that the woman have an exceptional pair of legs, and Ms. Jones certainly fit the
bill. Almost as impressive was observing that the lady was an accomplished stage actress, and held ...
