I was pleased with Crestwood, had never even heard of it until a few weeks ago.<br /><br />John,<br /><br />That's very interesting, thanks for commenting. I found all the actors really seemed to get into their parts, which helped make it a delightful parody. Roebuck was great, he really got the tempo of the 30s/40s performances. His exchanges with Blaire and Conroy were hilarious, I thought.The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-83398257174769947072012-11-21T15:48:03.552-08:002012-11-21T15:48:03.552-08:00An old dark house movie that's "quite goo...An old dark house movie that's "quite good, even without a gorilla," is a bit hard to imagine, but I'll keep an eye open for this one even so. It's a great sub-genre and you can go to Archive.org to see a lot of the old ones for free. William I.

He was thin and still unknown. Three years later he was cast in his first big film, THE RIVER'S EDGE, and he only got it because his agent told him to gain weight. He blew up to an immense size barely recognizable from the lean beanpole guy I knew and stayed there for too long, I think. When he lost the weight he eventually got his recurring role on the TV show <i>Matlock.</i> So much for listening to your agent. He was a very funny guy when I knew him -- one of the most decent, likeable men I ever knew in theater. I bet he still is.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-61377856382413872692012-11-19T19:28:52.018-08:002012-11-19T19:28:52.018-08:00I haven't seen it in a long time, but I liked ...I haven't seen it in a long time, but I liked <i>The Phantom of Crestwood</i> a lot.
