“BEHIND Every MAN…â€.
By Raymond Benson
One of the more popular Hollywood movies of 1954 was The Country Girl, written and directed by George Seaton, adapted from a stage play by Clifford Odets. The Academy liked it well enough to nominate it for Best Picture, Director, Actor (Bing Crosby), Black and White Art Direction, and Black and White Cinematography (John F. Warren). The movie won Oscars for Actress (Grace Kelly) and for the Adapted Screenplay by Seaton.
The Academy sure loves it when a beautiful actress dispenses with any hint of glamour and presents herself in a dowdy, plain, or even “uglyâ€. appearance. And while Grace Kelly could never not be beautiful, her role as Georgie Elgin is not known to emphasize her timeless attractiveness and sensuality. Furthermore, she delivers an outstanding performance that was good enough to surpass the likes...

Dark Intruder
Blu ray
Kino Lorber
1965 / 1.85:1 / 59 min.
Starring Leslie Nielsen, Peter Mark Richman, Judi Meredith
Cinematography by John F. Warren
Directed by Harvey Hart
Produced in 1965, Universal Pictures intended Dark Intruder for television but when NBC executives screened the film they took a pass—set in the goth-friendly year of 1890, Barré Lyndon’s story, with overtones of Lovecraft and demonic possession, was deemed “too scary” for the living room audience. That same audience would weather an entire season of My Mother the Car so perhaps Hollywood was underestimating America’s ability to deal with adversity. Universal was undeterred—now officially a “feature”, Harvey Hart’s film opened that summer in Los Angeles alongside Torn Curtain and in New York on the bottom half of a bill with I Saw What You Did (Manhattanites were treated to a personal appearance from Joan Crawford).
With the advent of roadshow attractions like Lawrence of Arabia,...

Keep Watching the Skies! continues at Trailers from Hell with director Ernest Dickerson introducing Hammer's "The Creeping Unknown," starring Brian Donlevy and Jack Warren as a professor and inspector trying to get to the bottom of a mysterious rocket crash, which has left two crew members missing and one mutating into a monster.This was the Us title of the Hammer screen version of Nigel Kneale’s six-part BBC sci fi serial The Quatermass Experiment, which had been a nationwide smash and led to three feature film sequels. Director Val Guest shoots in a flat newsreel style that imparts a semi-documentary, almost newsreelish quality to the proceedings. Since restored to the original running time, it’s now available under the British title.

With British Summer Time coming to an end this weekend most of us will be enjoying a well-deserved extra hour in bed. However, for the past six years, Janys and John Warren have lived by British Summer Time all year round. The retired couple from Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, began the experiment to see if it would have any effect on John's cluster headaches, a condition which is thought to be triggered by a change in the clocks. Janys, 68, told the Daily Telegraph: "We tried this because my husband's cluster headaches had moved from being episodic to chronic but still seemed to be triggered by the clock change." She said not only has it made them both feel healthier, living in a different time zone than everyone else has also saved the pair money on heating and lighting bills. Janys said: "We don't (more)...
