#TBT WAXING ON LOVE AND LOSS IN 1970

#‎TBT‬ ON REFLECTION it's a miracle that Peter Cushing appeared in 'The House That Dripped Blood' at all! Shooting began at Shepperton studio in the Summer of 1970. At the time, Peter's late wife Helen, was very ill and unusual for Cushing he asked to be released from his contract or if consideration could be given to the amount of time he would spend on set. The producers would not agree to this, so Cushing had to leave the shoot each day and speed back to his home in Whitstable, and then return early the following morning, bright and fresh ready to work.

 

DESPITE THESE PRESSURES, Cushing performance as actor Philip Grayson, is a interesting one. Playing a peg in a love triangle, with a wax figure...some of the shots in the film of Cushing walking lonely along river banks and streets, you can't help wondering what was really on his mind, as these were some of the last days he would spend with Helen... at her bedside or not.... #throwbackthursday

COME LOOK AND BE TEASED : THE PROFESSOR : A HOMAGE TO PETER CUSHING

ONCE IN A WHILE someone comes up with a very good concept in the comic world. And 'THE PROFESSOR' falls very snugly into that category. Just a few days ago, I was contacted by an associate who thought 'THE PROFESSOR' would be of interest to us all. I must be honest, during the course of a few months, it is not unusual for us to receive several emails or posts about 'Cushing-connected or themed' projects. But, from the go this one got my interest.

 

 

I HAVE TO BE HONEST and admit, I am not a collector of comics and I can't remember the last time, I actual read a comic of any kind!  But this is one I really want to read. I have included several of the 'TEASERS' here for your enjoyment.... and they DO manage to perform their function very well..Just a glance at any one, will I am sure, get you to view the next. The question hangs over each one, 'Wow, what does that mean? OR 'What happened next?' 

NOW OF COURSE we are primed to a certain extent here, we are lovers of Cushing's work and the roles he played, so the artwork panels and teasers, are very more-ish and have our interest. BUT look at that art work, interesting isn't it? And again, each image leaves us with a ....what does all this mean? We are not being let in on the secret, WE have to wait too......!

 

'THE PROFESSOR' is the beautiful creation of Italian writer, ANDREA CORBETTA and all the people you see below... Corbetta calls it 'An homage to Peter Cushing'. The first issue of 'THE PROFESSOR' arrives in SEPTEMBER 2016. So, not that long to wait. And rest assured, we WILL be waiting !

#TOOCOOLTUESDAY: CHRISTOPHER LEE'S JINNAH BIO PIC GETS AN OFFICIAL RELEASE

IT'S OFFICIAL!  BREAKING NEWS: Today it was announced by Eureka Entrainment that JINNAH (1998) will released on 10 October 2016. Staring Christopher Lee (in what he considered his best non-fantasy role) as Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the man who founded the Muslim nation of Pakistan in the wake of Great Britain’s relinquishment of control over India.

"This is the most important and most personal film of Sir Christopher’s impressive career. It is also his finest performance as little-known world leader Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, who assumed office in 1947. The film was made over a period of ten weeks in 1997 and for one reason or another has never been shown in the English-speaking world."Douglas Dunning, close friend of Christopher Lee.
