    Carl, are you talking about Peter Lorre? If so, what a great talent. I always enjoyed his little cackling laugh.

    Hi Richard, Lou,

    Cheers R/ Heh heh, looks like I might have started somekind of a trend on mentioning Ray Harryhausen ;-)) I mentioned his name on e Duke Wayne site, and several folks there too have gone out and picked up several of his movies. Did you know that he is still alive? or was at least as of a little over a yea ago. I saw an interview of him at his home and they were mainly talking about the movie: Earth vs the Flying Saucers. Ray H/ even still had a few of his flying Saucer models he made and explained them and how they were used in the movie. He showed them in I think three sizes.

    Hi Lou, that is he-Peter Lorre. I don;t know why I can never remember his name? after all, he was great in the Cary Grant comedy classic: Arsenic and Old Lace-which I still need to get on DvD ;-))

    "No, Mr. Spinaldso (SP?) was number 14, not number 15". :)) I agree that he sure was great. Gimme these actors from times past over any of the ones of today.

    Forgot to mention that I picked up the Peter Sellers (as Inspector Cleauseux (SP?) in his James Bond spoof which also had David Niven and unfortunately--woody allen. Picked up that title at WM today for $3 Bucks.

    Whehn I saw him interviewed in the extras feeature of Flying Saucers-he looked great for his age.

    Also, I agree with you-The Time Machine is an excellent movie. I NEED that one on DvD as well.

    I watched "A Woman in Berlin" the other night. It was ok. "The Black Book" was much better though.

    Last night I watched Season 1, volume 1 of COMBAT! I haven't watched that since the mid-60s when it was running on network TV's regular programming. It was ok too, taking in mind it first came out in 1962, it was ground breaking. Still, there were too many bloopers in it. It was obvious that technical advising was in it's infancy. Still the show was enjoyable once I got past the silly mistakes of it's production.

    Watching "The Great Scout and Cathouse Thursday" with Lee Marvin, Oliver Reed, Robert Culp and Strother Martin. Reed as 'drunken Indian' Joe Knox is priceless. Another Lee Marvin movie you can watch over and over. It's been a while and I need to find "Paint Your Wagon" and "Cat Ballou". Has anyone seen a "Bad" Lee Marvin movie?

    I cant quite call it a "bad" Lee Marvin movie because it has a good cast but, I never really cared much for the movie: Attack, and wouldnt like it had it not had the likes of Lee MArvin, Buddy Ebsen, Walter (Jack) Palance and Eddie Albert in it. May they all Rest in Peace.

    Okay one sucked and one wasn't that good. Not a bad average.
    Just saw this on the web:
    Says he learned to "act" in the Marines, trying to act unafraid during ferocious combat, which brought him a Purple Heart during invasion of Saipan.
    His body was interred next to that of Joe Louis in Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, VA.
