JERRY LEWIS : FAN AND FRIEND TO CUSHING AND LEE DIES

Sad... right now, news agencies around the world, are announcing the passing of a director, an actor, comedian, singer....where do I stop.. Jerry Lewis. I am sharing this news with you, because there is a connection with Lewis, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Both Peter and Christopher did guest star spots in the film, 'One More Time', starring Sammy Davis jr. 

ABOVE: Over the years, some of you may have seen this odd looking sign popping up on EBAY with a 'interesting' price tag attached to it? It is...the banner that #Jerrylewis had made up, to welcome both #PeterCushing and #ChristopherLee onto the set of the film, ONE MORE TIME, which #JerryLewis directed... in 1970.

JERRY LEWIS along with Sammy were big Hammer films fans and asked them to appear as Baron Frankenstein and Count Dracula..they did. Jerry Lewis treated Cushing and Lee as royalty during the short time they had with the film... but that's another story. A giant in the world of film, entertainment and charity. They will be talking about Lewis's story and his huge impact in all those fields, for a long time to come... RIP Jerry Lewis.

ONE MORE TIME : LEE AND CUSHING GUEST SPOT MONSTERMONDAY

#‎monstermonday‬ IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN, and boy don't those weeks fly by fast? This week our monster offering is a twosome, but with a twist! Both Lee and Cushing took up the offer of appearing in Hammer-film-fan Sammy Davis Jr's wacky way -out sequel to the film 'Salt and Pepper', entitled 'One More Time' in 1970...and thank goodness, it WAS just only ONE time 😊 I have never, as yet met one person who likes the film! Anyway, both Lee and Cushing get a very quick cameo as the Baron and the Count. We've posted that clip below. But for those of you who HAVE seen their cameos. What do you think it? Hit or Miss??

Stars of 'ONE MORE TIME Peter Lawford, Sammy Davis jr and director Jerry lewis...we'll be posting Cushing and Lee's clip next. I think judging by this high octane pic from behind the scenes, it was a film made with help from...the 'BBC'..( Big Bag of Chemicals!)
