CUSHING'S COFFEE AND COFFIN NAILS : RATE YOUR FRANKENSTEIN : QUICKIE QUIZ AND CHRISTOPHER LEE ASKS 'WHAT DO I DO FOR AN ENCORE?'

AN ADDITION TO CHRISTOPHER LEE birthday post, here is another very interesting INTERVIEW! Lots to see here and some more interest stories with Lee sharing his thoughts on the American method of film making at the time, his love of opera, the 'art' of making the unbelievable- believable and his time with Hammer films and Peter Cushing!

OVER AT THE FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE TODAY, I've had a quick look through the Peter Cushing Frankenstein posts, and it reveals these two Hammerfilms titles, appear to have more than their fair share of negative responses. But how would you rate them against each other? I'd love to read any of your thoughts and opinions on your rating too. Ten is highest 😉 Have fun! This could be interesting... 

ALSO AT THE PCASUK FACEBOOK PAGE PETER CUSHING fights the GOOD fight! We're asking for the thread 'what film is this and who is he playing?? and 'only THE correct FULL name please' 😊  It's a challenge, that ain't that simple . . .

FOLLOWING A BIT OF INTEREST a few days ago in this magazine photo advertisement that Peter Cushing did for NESCAFE in what I think was the late 50's 1960's, promoted me to think of another AD he did at another time. Peter Cushing was very much a tea man, in the morning, afternoon, night-time and any other time, he could fit in the flow of a cup or four! He would think nothing of having a constant stream of his favourite brew at the ready. What my Gran called a 'Tea Belly'! Which makes a bit of a mockery of his 1960's press advert for instant #Nescafe coffee! Hey! It's work! 😕😏😃😉 

THE COFFEE AD TURNED UP on the 'POSTS BY OTHERS' at the FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE section where Dave Robbins of Nottingham (?) UK, posted the coffee ad, he says he had not seen before. Well, there's more AD's like these and one in particular, from a time and attitude 'loooog gooone' for 'Deadly Lady Tobacco' comes to mind, with a strap line, that would get advert and promotion guru's spluttering their coffee and coughing their 'coffins nails' across many, many miles! - Have a great day everyone and take care - Marcus

#THROWBACKTHURSDAY! PHANTOM BRINGS THE BARON OUT IN THE WEST END!

#THROWBACKTHURSDAY! Peter Cushing OUT ON THE TOWN in 1987, along with his personal secretary and friend, Joyce Broughton and Husband, Bernard. It's an opening night of Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Phantom of the Opera' in August 1987. Just a few years before, this would have been quite impossible for Cushing, still in the grips, of what Joyce would later call his 'Blue Period'. The loss of his wife, Helen Cushing never truly left Cushing's mind, but during the last eight years of his life and after his retirement , he did live life to fullest! Theatre, writing, charity marathon walking, appearing on chat shows and even enjoying 'dips' in the sea, just outside his front door in Whitstable once again!

#HAMMERSATURDAY: CLOSE TO YOU. BUT NOT TOO CLOSE....

#HAMMERSATURDAY: ASK the academics, and they'll say, 'It's Art!' Ask the fan, and they'll say, 'It's Lee trying out, something different!'..... Me? I am not sure. I was with it until the line... 'That is why, all the boys in town, follow you, all around!' ... 'They long to be, close to you!' I am sure this wasn't what Burt Bacharach and Hal David had in mind, when they penned this love song ditty... or maybe they did???

#TBT PIRATE AND OPERA DOUBLE BILL HAMMER HORRORS FROM 1962

PETER CUSHING IN HIS ELEMENT HERE, 56 years ago he swung across the congregation of one Reverend Blyss, on location in a church that sat just outside the Hammer studios, in the sleepy village of Bray, England. The church now long gone, but the thrill of watching Peter having a ball and playing a great swash buckling dual role, is a throwback worth celebrating!

#TBT WHAT A GREAT DOUBLE BILL this must have been... Hammer films 'The Phantom of the Opera' with Herbert Lom and Edward de Souza and 'Captain Clegg' / 'Night Creatures' with Peter Cushing! Released in the UK together, Clegg and Phantom was supported by quite an impressive press campaign along with single and double bill cinema quad posters. Personally, Lom id my favourite Phantom, and Dr Blyss was a wonderful role for Peter, who was again given the opportunity to display some swordsmanship and a few stunts into the bargain!

#ONSETSATURDAY: CHRISTOPHER LEE GETS THE CREATURE COMFORT AT #HAMMERFILMS BRAY STUDIOS

PCASUK: #ONSETSATURDAY Large scanned photograph: Christopher Lee in the make up chair being attended by make up artist Phil Leakey during the making of #hammerfilms 'The Curse of Frankenstein' (1957 Dir Terence Fisher) The whole make up job would take up to an uncomfortable three hours. Lee would listen to the cricket scores and sometime sing opera or occasionally, something from a G and S Musical with Peter Cushing in the dressing room next-door joining in! The Curse of Frankenstein Starred Peter Cushing as Baron Frankenstein, Robert Urquhart as Paul Krempe, Hazel Court as Elizabeth and Valerie Gaunt as Justine.
