'HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO SURPRISE THE PUBLIC WITH SOMETHING THEY DON'T EXPECT!'


#WATCHWITHCUSHING! SURPRISE! It has been often said that, typecasting hung around Christopher Lee for quite some time, maybe until later in his career when, he believed there was a little more flexibility. Personally, I always thought the majority of his roles, were often quite different, the genre may have been somewhere in a shared ball park, but I wouldn't say his role as the evil Edward Blake in 'I Monster' was the same as say, Francisco Scaramanga in 'The Man with the Golden Gun' or even the role of 'The Monster' in 'The Curse of Frankenstein' was in any close to Kharis in 'The Mummy' . . In this interview, he makes his point in discussing how he always tried to surprise his audience.. which I think, he in most cases certainly did. Over at the FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE HERE I have asked everyone if there is a role they can remember, where Christopher Lee played this card very well.. and surprised you?? And there are some surprising answers 😏😊


A ROLE THAT ALWAYS seemed quite different to me was Christopher Lee's role in his own production of the film, 'NOTHING BUT THE NIGHT' with Peter Cushing. His playing of Colonel Bingham almost seems like an extension of his character in the 1970, 'SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN'? you can still catch one of these films in our PCASUK #WATCHPARTY post at the  FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE!

CHARLES AND DIANA : A ROYAL LOVE STORY : CHRISTOPHER LEE AS THE DUKE!?


#CHRISTOPHERLEESaturday! . . It's our weekly dip into rare images and quotes from Peter Cushing's long time friend and often dueling partner on the BIG SCREEN, acting legend, Christopher Lee. I guess Lee had a very good point here? His appearance in the dreadful then, dreadful AND dated now tv movie of 'Charles and Diana : A REAL Love Story' was all part of a lean time for Lee. There were several projects and films he committed to, while waiting, unknown to him, for the arrival of his participation in two juggernaut movie franchise, that would favourably reboot his career once again! Over at the FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE, we have asked the question, 'What would you say is maybe the strangest role Christopher Lee played for either film or television??' There are some very interesting answers...


THERE'S NO DOUBT about it. Those words  Do  look very odd on the screen! The film was released for a short time in the US on  home cinema, but it wasn't long before that vanished . . !
