Edition, UP FOR GRABS! Directed by Terence Fisher. It's a Hammer film
classic. Be HERE or Miss OUT 😀 -Marcus
REMEMBERING THORLEY WALTERS.... There can't be many fans of Hammer films or of #PeterCushing or #ChristopherLee, who have never seen actor #ThorleyWalters!
Once one of the Hammer films 'repertory company' of actors, who like
Michael Ripper and many others, was a face who connected with some of
the best of the studios films over a twenty year period. 'Dracula Prince
of Darkness in 1968 with Christopher Lee, Hammer's Phantom of the Opera
with Herbert Lom, was Lee's Watson in ' Terence Fisher's Sherlock
Holmes and the Deadly Necklace both in 1962. 'The Man who Haunted
Himself and Vampire Circus in 1970 and The Adventure of #SherlockHolmes'
Smarter Brother' in 1975 and The People That time Forgot in 1977.
Walters also appeared some great big screen British comedies and mass of
tv drama's including 'Tinker Tailor, Solider, Spy in 1979.
PERSONALLY, my favorite Walter's performance, was as Dr Herzt with Peter Cushing in #Hammerfilms ' #Frankenstein Created Woman' in 1967. It's one thing to play the strange guy possessed by #CounDracula
in Dracula Prince of Darkness, it's wacky it's weird and amusing
playing an extension on the classic Stoker / Renfield character, but his
playing with great emotional clout, a character who shows a quite #touching friendship to Cushing's Baron Frankenstein and displays such care and compassion to #SusanDenberg's
Christina, in very little screen time, is quite a skill . . . Everyone
here will have their favorite Thorley Walter's role, they were all gems
really, be it with the scamps from #StTrinians or Colonel Bloodstock in #JonPertwee's excellent children's programme #WorzelGummidge,
Thorley Walters was ALWAYS able to connect with audiences and left us
with a rich and very entertaining cast of performances and roles. Bless
you, Thorley 😊
