Alcoholic Creature Feature

Along with The Day The Earth Stood Still in 1950, and Spellbound from 1945, another movie to feature the sound of a Theremin is The Lost Weekend, also from 1945.

I’m sure you recognize Frank Faylen, who played Ernie Bishop, the taxi cab driver in It’s a Wonderful Life. I inserted the transition after Faylen says “Goodnight” and I chopped out Ray Milland’s escape from the alcoholic ward.

Great stuff with the mouse and bat! I wonder if director Billy Wilder enlisted the services of the technicians at Universal, who did the bats for the Dracula movies?

Bob Dylan’s Dire Warning

On October 1, a big Bob Dylan CD collection is being released. On October 2, D. F. Rogers and I will be seeing Dylan in concert, appearing with Elvis Costello. Dylan has always been forward thinking, and being in the middle of watching Battlestar Galatica on DVD, I’m right with him on this important warning.
