I guess I'd better put a hold on my opinion about his worst film until I've seen Zamba. I do recall him being a pretty good villain in The Invisible Man's Revenge.

Yes, I've seen the film a few times. Probably his best work. His worst: probably The Beach Girls and the Monster

He was a good-looking guy with a melodious voice.

I don't think the people in any of the photos are necessarily connected with the film Green Dolphin Street. The replica of the ship began its "tour" in Houston on October 25, 1947, and was to make its final stop in Chicago on December 1. It made many stops en route; one article claimed it visited a different city almost every day (Motion Picture Herald, November 29, 1947). Perhaps at some of those stops, cast members may have appeared. I suspect if/when it got to Auburn, some people just happened to pose in front of it.

Last Train From Bombay is kind of a mess of a film. Indian terrorists want to assassinate the Nawob of Janipur by blowing up the Gundar train. If you can understand that, you might like the flick. Hall, as a diplomat, endures so many mishaps that he should have been sent to the Black Hole of Calcutta. Also, his buttockal area rivals that of George Brent. But I did like him, as you did, in Ramar of the Jungle.

MovieCollector is spot on. Here is the same poster promoting the film in Philadelphia:

Give the dame credit. She was still working, as of May 1970, in Wilkes-Barre. No idea if the food was any good.

Hey, wait a minute ... Tandy marries Taylor? Where the hell was this film made, West Virginia?

where she was knee-deep in human poo

"Rosebud."

Thanks for that review. It was a surprising good film, despite being one of the most depressing films I'd ever seen. There were some scenes which seemed out of place, almost comical; the old women whispering about what the Germans do to prisoners, for instance, and Elizabeth Patterson packing heat and poison in case she gets captured. This film should have been subtitled They Made Me a Hun.

Monday, 4:00 AM: Saps at Sea Hilarious Laurel & Hardy flick, with Ollie going nuts every time he hears a horn. "

Which reminds me of a Groucho quote, which I am paraphrasing. When asked if he was going to see a particular movie starring Victor Mature (maybe it was The Robe), Groucho remarked that he was not interested in seeing a film in which the male star had bigger t*ts than Marilyn Monroe.

You know, you're right. I distinctly remember the Cro-Magnons getting upset over how cavemen were portrayed in One Million B.C.

Malden was buff, man. You should have seen what he did to his old American Express cards ... and that was just with his nose.

Here is a little more info on the actress I found (from Variety 1923): Edit: Further research shows that Leota Crider had a daughter named Lorraine, but this Leota appears to be the one who changed her stage name to Lillian Lorraine.

No, we've just been informed that we cannot post anymore today, that our accounts will be locked, and that the entire message board is being dissolved in front of our eyes.

Could her stage name have also been Lillian Lorraine? Her maiden name was Crider. Do you happen to have a photo of her?

It took me awhile before I realized he was saying "BLOOD" and not "BLOW."

Oh, so you're the spammer???

I thought that was an advertisement for the Golden Globes.

Technically, this was from a tv episode ...

If we're going to head down this road ...

Anybody remember when we used to talk about classic films? Now we talk about trash cans.

Yes, they did, that's where I first saw it.
