Yes, I read that a few days ago... liver cancer. I think they’ve all passed away by now. If I remember correctly, the poor lady had an appendectomy in ‘37 which left her unable to have children, too. Coincidentally, my Dad’s appendix burst in 1934 when he was 10. The scar that he had from that was horrific and I imagine in the ‘30s they broke out the ether and scalpels and started cutting. It was medieval I bet....no wonder he didn’t like doctors after that!
Hmmm...not designed for binge watching, eh? When you get right down to it, nothing is probablly designed for binge watching.AndyFish wrote: ↑Wed Jan 02, 2019 11:40 am As a life long fan of all serials I think it's important to note they are not designed for binge watching. They wear out their welcome quickly with the recaps. You should try sticking to either an episode a day or even better one a week-- that's how they were made to be seen.
On the Hornet Serials, I like the sequel GREEN HORNET STRIKES AGAIN better than the first one. Warren Hull is a better Hornet than Gordon Jones was, IMO.
You got that right! She had a little something to bring to the show, no doubt!maniac cop 5 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 02, 2019 8:10 pm Oh and by the way, I also have a serious crush on Anne Nagel. Her expressions were marvelous and she had the sexiest accent on the screen I've ever heard. A real "gal Friday"!
Well, that explains it! I wonder if that little trick influenced Filmation’s Superman cartoon? They did a similar voice change when Clark became Superman, “This is job (wimpy voice) for Superman (commanding voice).”maniac cop 5 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 02, 2019 8:06 pm Frenchy, that wasn't Jones changing his voice but instead a voice over by Al Hodge, the voice of the GH on radio. They felt Jones' voice wasn't commanding enough so Hodge stepped in to fill in the Hornet's voice, an easy task as his face was obscured by the mask.
Hey, thanks for the info! I didn’t realize, that.maniac cop 5 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 02, 2019 10:42 pm Actually, radio influenced that too but in a different way. Bud Collyer, the voice of Clark/ Superman did both voices and used that trick on the radio Superman show so that the audiences could "see" in their mind, Clark's change into the man of steel. That trick, of changing voices or over emphasizing words and sounds was a common one on radio shows of the time to give the audience a "heads up" of action about to occur. Filmation decided to use Collyer as he was already know as the voice of Superman on radio and he just continued the same trick, now with cartoon visuals to boot! I grew up with that cartoon and still love it and the theme music today!
