THIS WEEK'S #MONSTERMONDAY candidate comes from Joe Arnold who makes an interesting suggestion... a film that many forget about when listing the films in which Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee have both appeared in..alas not together, but it was great to have the treat of seeing those names in the cast credit.
COSTUME DESIGNER, Rosemary Burrows attends to Peter Cushing's costume during the making of ARABIAN ADVENTURE (1979) , pretty much the same way she did on countless Hammer films, over the past twenty years!
ALWAYS up for a giggle... Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing on the set of 'Arabian Adventure' (1979)
PETER CUSHING'S time may have been brief on the set on 'Arabian Adventure'
...but he managed to fit in a meeting with friend, Christopher Lee.

CHRISTOPHER LEE, OLIVER TOBIAS AND PETER CUSHING... 'I was working on a live tv programme in
Bristol, way back in 1984 on which Oliver Tobias was a guest. He was
really charming, made time afterwards to chat and had only good things
to say about his memories of the few scenes
he shot with Peter on Arabian Adventure...he mentioned the glove, which
funny enough, is in the photograph of him with Peter and Christopher
Lee on set'... - Marcus Brooks
A YOUNG EMMA SAMMS as Princess Zuleira
in Arabian Adventure in 1979, her very first film!
SO, 'ARABIAN ADVENTURE... Star Wars with Magic
Carpets...the poster campaign claimed. Well, maybe not quite...but fun,
just the same. The highlight is of course
Lee's evil, Caliph Alquazar ...who banishes, Cushing's Wazir Al Wuzara
to the dungeons... I wont give away anything else, as this is one many
have not seen . But remember, 'It's for the KIDS!' No blood, no
gore...nothing too disturbing, but with Emma Samms, Mickey Rooney and
Oliver Tobias, it's worth a view and Lee's Caliph Alquazar , a MONSTER
and a Tyrant.??..You decide ...
JUST ONE LAST behind the scenes photograph from 'ARABIAN ADVENTURE' this time with director, Kevin Conner joining the photo op. Lee making this film marked the first time he had returned to a British studio to work for over two years, 'Arabian Adventure' also gave him his first 'baddie' role in almost eleven years! I chose this pic more so though, for that look on Peter Cushing's face....
