PCASUK WATCH PARTY! Tonight, you get the opportunity to judge which
version of Peter Cushing Sherlock Holmes 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'
you enjoy best! The BBC version we shared with you a short while ago on
another #WatchWithCushing!
Watch Party OR THIS version, produced by Hammer films also starring
Christopher Lee in 1958? Directed by Terence Fisher, it has fine
photography, performances and a cracking film score too by James
Bernard! Look out for scene stealer Miles Malleson as the Bishop. YOU can join the PCASUK WATCH PARTY HERE! Like all the Watch Party films and posts, this film will remain on the page after tonight too 😉
SURPRISE! It has been often said that, typecasting hung around
Christopher Lee for quite some time, maybe until later in his career
when, he believed there was a little more flexibility. Personally, I
always thought the majority of his roles, were often quite different,
the genre may have been somewhere in a shared ball park, but I wouldn't
say his role as the evil Edward Blake in 'I Monster' was the same as
say, Francisco Scaramanga in 'The Man with the Golden Gun' or even the
role of 'The Monster' in 'The Curse of Frankenstein' was in any close to
Kharis in 'The Mummy' . . In this interview, which you can find HERE he makes his point in
discussing how he always tried to surprise his audience.. which I think,
he in most cases certainly did. At the PCASUK FAN PAGE, we ask IF there are role you can remember,
where Christopher Lee played this card very well.. and surprised you?? Please feel free to skip to the page and tell us your thoughts 😊
FINALLY, A FEW DAYS AGO I posted and shared this photograph of #VincentPrice and director #PeteWalker
during the making of 'House of the Long Shadows' in 1982. Price was
offered this movie and accepted before the script was written. The
producers Yoram Globus and Menahem Golan never read the script . ..
interestingly the film ran out of money three weeks into shooting. The
film took five weeks to shoot and cost just under one million pounds
sterling and is the only film where all four, #PeterCushing, #ChristopherLee and #JohnCarradine,
all appear on screen together! Many 'Hammer and Amicus fans were a
little disappointed with the film and script when it was released.
Personally, I am very fond of it 😊 and on asking our followers and friends if they were too... got some interesting comments and answers! You can catch this photograph and those comments, which you too may want to contribute too maybe, RIGHT HERE! What are your thoughts??? - I hope you are all well and keeping safe this weekend? 😐😊- Marcus
