Hello!

Just some quick items today, sorry that time is tight around here. The reviews took longer to write; interesting pictures will do that.

The dependable Gary Teetzel linked to this Stephen Colbert clip with actress Katherine La Nasa — who we are presently enjoying in The Pitt.

The whole interview is good but the fun for fantasy fans, Gary says, begins around the eight-minute mark. While discussing her husband Dennis Hopper the talk moves to Vincent Price. Ms. LaNasa relates an anecdote that ‘weirded Vincent out.’  Colbert title-drops  The Tingler to praise ‘the really really nice’ Vincent Price. It’s short and sweet and Ms. LaNasa is a charmer.

Three months is probably too early to start plugging a book, but film historian Jason A. Ney took in our review of  The Narrow Margin and jumped to tell me about his upcoming Screen Classics book on its director, favorite Richard Fleischer.

Many of us have Fleischer’s own book, which concentrates on anecdotes with stars. We know Jason Ney through his excellent audio commentaries. I’ve asked to review  unpromising movies because I knew that Jason’s track would make them interesting. I’d expect a good read and some some good revelations on director Fleischer.

Ney’s book doesn’t come out until May 12. More details are up at its Amazon page …

Thanks for reading! — Glenn Erickson
