>Your photo is very tricky. Devious. Very clever. Difficult to look up. But I know the actor and the film. Maybe you can figure out whose hand that is, as well.

Har. OK, we can all agree it's Lucy, even though I only asked for the title of the film. And the man is neither Burt nor Steve.

Name the film (experts: if this one is too easy, let's give others a chance):

Yes, so amazing it can't be seen! http://cinemacapman.tripod.com/steevereevesjailcs.jpg>'>http://cinemacapman.tripod.com/steevereevesjailcs.jpg> So let's just go http://cinemacapman.tripod.com/steevereevesjailcs.jpg which doesn't seem to work either.

Yes, that is indeed a clean-shaven Steve Reeves from the 1954 stinker Jail Bait.

>True. Normally we get to see clear sharp photos. Unfortunately, that's the way the photo appears in the book .. it was probably shot from a TV screen. And it is definitely not Jack Palance, as someone guessed. Try to imagine this guy in something other than street clothes.

Nope, not Vince Edwards. Everyone is having difficulty because they probably have never seen this actor looking like this.

It is indeed Lyle Talbot on the right, but not Silva on the left. Just refreshing everyone's memory:

Yup, this is the thread!

Or maybe a forum for TCM Underground?

>Didn't Mephisto Waltz have a dog with a guys' head on it? I don't recall that. I do know that the Mephisto Waltz is an actual composition, and a weird one at that. The film's composer, Jerry Goldsmith, integrated the waltz with a gregorian chant for the main titles.

And when Steve goes looking for apartment #2 ... "It wasn't hard to find. It smelled like the number on the door."

Another I haven't seen in quite awhile is "The Mephisto Waltz," with Alan Alda and Jacqueline Bisset. Alda plays a pianist, who catches the eye of the dying pianist Curt Jergens ... and Jergens makes a deal with the devil ...

I don't know. I've only seen it once, several years back, and that was quite enough.

Trust me, it's not. And I've seen this movie.

It's an early somebody, but not Newman.

As long as we're talking about Christopher Lee, I think a neglected little horror gem is "The Devil's Bride" from the late 1960s. I saw it in a drive-in and it scared the crap out of me. I think it's been shown on TCM.

I figured you might recognize the guy on the right first; he'd been working in films since the 1930s. This film is from the 1950s.

LOL .. man, are you way off ... I guess that's a bad photo, but that's about the way it appeared in my book. And the production company is nowhere close to MGM.

I think if you knew the guy on the left, and his character, and the movie, you could look up the cast and know who it was.

Actors and film:

Oh. I missed that one.

So who is this, anyway?

Judy, I've posted this site in a few threads. You can watch Horror Hotel here, although the credits are almost impossible to read: http://www.moviesfoundonline.com/horror_hotel.php
