The Mole People (1956)
A big slice of 50′s cheese that I tried to like but just couldn’t do it. It just got dumber and dumber to the point where I felt embarrassed for some of the actors. The movie opens with an untentionally … Continue reading
Where Murder Waits-Gordon Davis (E. Howard Hunt) (1965)
It was also published as by E.H.Hunt. I’m a fan of Hunt’s books no matter what name he wrote under. This is another good, compact one. It involves a Bay of Pigs veteran and an Exile Committee. Lawyer Pat Conroy, … Continue reading
Swingin’ With Pee Wee-Pee Wee Russell (1960)
Sixteen tracks as Pee Wee is joined by a stellar line up including Bud Freeman, Buck Clayton, Ruby Braff, Vic Dickenson, Tommy Flanagan and Nat Pierce. Highlights include: “When You’re Smiling”, “It’s A Most Unusual Day” and “Exactly Like You.”
The Rebel (1959-61)
Nick Adams is Johnny Yuma. After the Civil War he roams around helping the good guys threatened by the bad guys. He usually gets in trouble because he still wears his Reb hat. Adams is the show’s co-creator. Typical episodes: … Continue reading
The Essential Sonny Boy Williamson 2 CD’s
Rice Miller was known as Sonny Boy II. The original was John Lee Williamson in the early Blues era. That doesn’t take away from Miller’s terrific sognwriting and singing. He recorded with many top Rock stars and groups including The … Continue reading
The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis (1959-63)
Based on The Max Shulman book, Dobie is the average teenager whose lifelong quest is teenage girls. His best friends are beatnik Maynard G. Krebs (Bob Denver) and Zelda Gilroy (Shelia James). Zelda was always hoping that she and Dobie would … Continue reading
Beyond The Stars-Ray Cummings (1928)
This was a three parter in Argosy magazine in 1928 with a complete novel published in 1942. Typical of the era it had convenient “science” and a lot of exclamation points. There’s even a chapter called “Rebellious Virgins.” The year:1998. … Continue reading
C-Man (1949)
Real good one about smuggling and murder. Dean Jagger is a U.S. Customs Agent. Most people are used to seeing Jagger bald but in this one he’s got hair. The movie is almost marred by one of the worst soundtracks ever. … Continue reading
The Goofus Five 1926-1927
Twenty-four tracks featuring Adrian Rollini on Bass Sax. Perfect collection for fans of the 20′s. Highlights include: “Poor Papa (He’s Got Nuthin’ At All)”, “Someone Is Losin’ Susan” and “Sadie Green (The Vamp Of New Orleans).”
Inquest-Percival Wilde (1940)
Entertaining murder mystery set in a small Connecticut town. If you’re looking for a book with well drawn local characters instead of fast paced mayhem you’ll like this one. It’s told in the form of a Coroner’s Inquest. Seventy year … Continue reading
