PETER CUSHING AND CHRISTOPHER LEE ALMOST #SNOOKERED!


#CUSHING and #LEE are SNOOKERED! During making of #Amicusfilms #THESKULL at #SheppertonStudios in 1965, the cameras were about to roll on a scene where both Cushing and Lee's characters were about to chat, about the purchase of a 'dodgy antique' over brandy and cigars.. and a gentleman's game of snooker! There was one problem, which almost left director #FreddieJones almost speechless. Cushing and Lee admitted to Francis they knew absolutely nothing about the game and had never played the game! Francis said at the time, 'The only two actors in Britain, who can't play snooker!?' But they DID know how to act! Watching the scene now, you would never know that neither had ever blue chalked and held a snooker cue.. let alone pot a ball in a pocket!  - Marcus 
 


TRIVIA: In 1885, John Roberts, the then British Billiards Champion, visited India and met with Chamberlain during a dinner with the Maharajah of Cooch Behar. After enquiring about the rules of snooker, Roberts decided he would introduce the game back in England. The game has been very popular in the UK ever since, 'Snooker and Billiards Halls' sprung up around the country from around 1900's and was very popular during the first and second WW. Snooker is an extremely competitive game now, with championships televisied in the UK with winners earning very large sums of money!

FOUR FULL COLOUR TRANSPARENCIES FROM #HAMMERFILMS '#SCARSOFDRACULA'

have shared some large scans of #ChristopherLee from #Hammerfilms 'SCARS OF DRACULA'! These were requested to the page, so we cleaned and polished a delivered! Not a #PeterCushing Hammer film sadly, and quite a poor movie sadly, impo. This is our first post in several months, as I got a little tired of spending hours on designing and making posts, that for quite sometime, were being hidden by 'our masters' #Google. So, stopped for a while and dealt with the mess that is #facebook and all their losing and hiding posts from followers instead. At least, with 35k followers, you stand a little better chance of being seen one out of three posts! Anyway, onward, back to the mill. More posts to come here! - Marcus
