EXTENDED REQUESTED STAY: #TBT: REMEMBERING MELISSA STRIBLING AND THE SPECKLED BAND

REMEMBERING: Melissa Stribling who was born today November 7th 1927. Stribling appeared in just the one film with Peter Cushing...but boy did she pick the right one! She also got to play in one of Hammer films most iconic scenes in their 1958 'Dracula', where Christopher Lee's Count, in the dead of night, visits her home and..without a word.. seduces her. 

THE SCENE is so super charged with sexual tension, it almost crackles off the screen and as a result got the scissors treatment from the censors at the time. In 2013, in Hammer's restored print the exorcised footage was replaced, giving us the full picture of what Director Terence Fisher, Stribling and Lee had originally intended and created.

 

I'VE READ IN SEVERAL reviews of 'Dracula' both from the time of the films' release in 58 and in more recent times, that Stribling was a curious choice for the role of Mina Holmwood, that compared to the likes of Valerie Gaunt and other Hammer actresses, even though she was only in early 30's when she appeared in Dracula, many thought her slightly ordinary and plain. I totally disagree...but if that was the case, I can't help thinking that, director Fisher's choice in Stribling was intentional. That subtext in the story of Arthur Holmwood's wife being frustrated and bored, suddenly being charmed and seduced by the exotic and erotic Count, Stribling was...the perfect choice.

TWENTY FOUR THOUSAND FRIENDS AND STILL CLIMBING!

WE'VE CLOCKED UP ANOTHER THOUSAND FRIENDS at our FACEBOOK FAN PAGE! Looking back at posts there from the last five to six weeks, I see, we've had over three thousand new friends and followers join us, in a very short period of time! Which has to be said, is a pretty neat achievement, WITHOUT any paid-for promotion, boosts and despite facebook's own unmanned and promoted community page, squashing our style and messing us around with their shenanigans. I truly do find it amazing that the popularity of Peter Cushing and his work is still as popular as ever...and to think he once closed his fan clubs back in the early 1980's...because he thought no one would be interested during his semi retirement!

SO,WHAT DOES THIS INCREASE MEAN TO YOU...? Well, with more of you commenting, daily looking in and making this fan page a truly interactive extension of our website, it certainly makes it easier for me to encourage distributors to support us and sponsor your competitions with great prizes, it opens the door in helping us get exposure for Peter work on radio internationally as we have seen in the last few weeks...and ultimately, it helps the keep the memory of the Peter Cushing alive...today and for the future! Please remember, sharing our posts here via G+,  and likes and shares at our facebook fan page REALLY DO make all the difference on facebook, on EVERY post. it's the interaction that spreads the word and helps make your Peter Cushing page a REAL success...so to all you new followers, a WARM WELCOME and we all look forward to your posts and comments, don't be shy, there are no experts here, we are here with two purposes in mind, to have FUN and a great time, whilst celebrating that chap we all know and love! Thank you for your continued support and friendship , here's to TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND! Marcus

PARK LIFE: WHILE WALKING IN THE PARK ONE DAY . . .

Candid Cushing: PARK LIFE: I think if you were taking a leisurely walk in your local park, and you happened to see this figure strolling along, even from a distance...you could see this no ordinary gentleman. Hat at a cheeky angle, umbrella swinging in time with his gait, there is no one else this COULD be. Peter Cushing takes a stroll in the park, circa 1986.

A colour shot, taken the same day, minus the hat! These photographs were part of a photo-session for the Mail on Sunday newspaper. The shot above, I believe was also used for one of the many reprints of Peter's autobiography in paper back in the USA.
