Santa Claus Conquers The Martians

A year ago at this link I talked about character actor Vince Beck, my late mother’s friend from her theatre days. Vince had the distinction of being in a movie that is generally regarded as being among the worst ever made, Santa Claus Conquers The Martians. But that’s OK, because Mark Evanier’s name is associated with a TV show that’s considered to be one of the worst ever, Pink Lady and Jeff.

How bad is Santa Claus Conquers The Martians? See for yourself. The entire movie is here. Can you last through all 80 minutes? Vince is Voldar, the Martian with a moustache! The guy was sitting in our living room around the time he was in this disaster!

Christmas With Timmy And Lassie

Last month I had the pleasure of meeting Jon Provost of Lassie fame. Jon’s autobiography, Timmy’s In The Well is out, although I haven’t received my copy yet.

If you aren’t familiar with Lassie from the Provost years, here’s a complete show. “The Christmas Story,” from December 21, 1958. Great stuff. Note: I picked that preview frame because that car is the same Ford Country Squire wagon we had.
