  1. I'm not really a collector, I just kept a lot of stuff from when I was a kid. I think most of these Western cards are from 1958, which makes me think perhaps my older brother bought them (he was 7, I was 4). I think Topps Chewing Gum manufactured them. I have cards from Trackdown, Union Pacific, Wanted Dead or Alive, Gunsmoke, The Restless Gun, Yancy Derringer, and a few others.

  2. What a great charactor actor, always enjoyed his work. The first time I saw him was in the A & C flick It Ain't Hay. He plays a character named Warner. At one point in the film, he knocks on the door and Abbott says "It's Warner." Costello says "Tell him we're signed with Universal."

  3. Did anyone watch The Strange Woman?

     

    No spoilers below.

     

    This movie approaches camp at times, but it managed to keep me interested. The setting is Bangor, Maine, 1800s. We first see Ms. Lamarr's character, Jenny, as a young girl with an American accent. As she grow to womanhood, she acquires her Austrian accent. Her father is played by Dennis Hoey, with his very British accent. After fleeing from her father's abuse, the town Reverend (Moroni Olsen) marries Jenny off ?to Gene Lockhart! Lockhart's son, played by Louis Hayward, was a childhood friend of Jenny, and Jenny is now his stepmother ?well, you can imagine where this leads. Enter George Sanders, who has a thing for Hillary Brooke ?until Jenny starts eyeballing him. Look for the scene where lightning strikes the tree ?pure lust.

     

     

    The Strange Men may have been a better title, since all the male characters seem ignorant of what is going on. Still, this is worth a look, and will be playing again on March 25.
