DEATH OF A SALESMAN-This is the original movie version made in 1950 with Fredric March in the lead. For some reason it’s never shown anywhere! I’ve read Arthur Miller didn’t like it. Maybe That has something to do with it? Since he died in 2005 I thought someone somewhere will show it! I'm still waiting!
CUBAN REBEL GIRLS-This was Errol Flynn’s last movie. It’s a shoestring production that he wrote and his manager (Barry Mahon) directed. To top it all off his 18-year-old girlfriend is his co-star!
THE LOST ONE-This is the only movie actor Peter Lorre directed. He made it while visiting Germany in the ‘50’s (some say he went there to avoid testifying before HUAC). He plays a former Nazi soldier haunted by his past. In the ‘80’s it played at an Art House Theater in NYC but I missed it!
SHORT CUT TO HELL-This is the only movie James Cagney directed. Not sure what it’s about. He’s not in it.
HUMAN HIGHWAY-A weird movie rocker Neil Young made in the ‘80’s. It features Dennis Hopper and Devo!
THE LAST MOVIE-This was made by Dennis Hopper shortly after he co-starred in EASY RIDER. It got terrible reviews and no one would distribute it even though it wound up winning The Palm D’Or at Cannes that year!
Thanks for reading!
