Re: Snub Pollard A Drug Addict?!

SO THIS IS HOLLYWOOD: A FRIEND IN NEED (1955) Victor Moore, MItzi Green

Bare's early forays into television, with a script by Edward Beloin, George O'Hanlon and Dean Riesner, and an interesting supporting cast including stars Virginia Gibson, MItzi Green as an adult (much more int...

Re: HARVEY with Art Carney (1958)
Fred Gwynne repeated the role of the cab driver in the 1972 HALLMARK HALL OF FAME version with Jimmy Stewart and Helen Hayes, he must have liked the part, it is a good one, one good scene at the end and a terrific speech to boot.
This is a real find Rob, thanks for posting.

LOVE A LA MODE (1930) Bernard Granville, Kathryn McGuire
Here's evidence that Jack White could produce just as leaden and painful an early talkie as either Mack Sennett or Al Christie could. Released by Educational November 2, 1930, directed by Stephen Roberts, and featuring "Broadway Legend" Bernard "Bunny" Granville (well, he was Bon...

Re: LIVING A RAGTIME LIFE (1992) Max Morath
William, I think you meant, "Good Show Max", I merely put it up on the mafia. And I'm proud to say I have a copy of that Hirschfeld drawing autographed by Max up on one of my walls. I'm sure that was drawn when Max was doing his Broadway show in the early 70's, but of course it became his ...
