CineSavant Column

Tuesday March 18, 2025

 

Hello!

Dick Dinman and DVD Classic Corner on the Web have a podcast this month that covers two interesting subjects.

On the docket is Dick and producer Dan Marino discussing John Wayne’s The Conqueror which we reviewed here at CineSavant a couple of weeks back.

Dick discusses some other new releasess, but an extra thrill is an audio interview he conducted with Kathleen Hughes, the star of the also- recently reviewed disc The Glass Web, in 3-D. Dick inquires about her experience working with Edward G. Robinson.

And Joe Dante gravitated toward this BBC Online article from last October by Áine Quinn, that collects video interviews asking four top horror actors — Boris Karloff, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Vincent Price — to explain their individual opinions on the subject of Horror.

Peter Cushing’s video interview is hidden in the text, but it’s there. I guess our main takeaway is admiration for these congenial gentlemen … each is articulate and telegenic.
