but I hadn't seen the movie in as long. however I was able to find it on DVD & saw it last nite. it's hardly a great film but fun & a cinephile's delight because of the cast.
& of special interest to me because of certain cast members.
Edmund Purdom: he plays an important cameo near the end of my new book.
Howard Wendell: his parents were neighbors of mine when I was a boy. see last year's chapbook Elyria.
Bess Flowers: co-star of my recent chapbook Percy & Bess. "the queen of the dress extras" plays Wendell's wife & actually has lines in this film.
Linda Christian: I had a short but spiritd chat with her at a film event some years ago.
Virginia Gibson: co-star of one of the most important tv shows of my boyhood "So This is Hollywood."
& a phalanx of famous muscle men: Steve Reeves Ed Fury Dick DuBois Bert Goodrich & the founder of Gold's Gym.
