Sep 3, 2023 · Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man - Universal should have worked a little harder to have Lon Chaney, Junior play both roles. 5.) House of Dracula - "Larry Talbot" finally keeps his claws to himself and get the babe in the fade-out. 4.) Of Mice and Men - Forget "the rabbits," "Lenny's" shadow proved almost as hard to shake as Lon Chaney, Senior's. 3.)
Jul 8, 2005 · He worked again for Stanley Kramer in the dreadful NOT AS A STRANGER. In a movie filled with risible against-type casting (e.g. languid 38-year-old Robert Mitchum as a driven young pre-med student, 39-year-old Olivia de Haviland as a naive young Swedish nurse sporting platinum blonde tresses and a ready-for-El Brendel accent), Chaney Jr. seems a standard-bearer of realism as Mitchum's boozehound father.
Jun 3, 2008 · Jun 03, 2008 #1. Here's something pretty unique. I imagined what would Lon Chaney Jr. might look like had he been given the opportunity to revisit his dad's character for the 1939 version of HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME. I know he did the "Route 66" thing, but that makeup seemed more geared for horror than for character.
Jul 25, 2024 · A much larger Interest in silent films towards the '60s with silent films broght Lon Chaney, Sr. back into public consciousness, although there is evidence enough that silent films were re-released - often iin a satirical way - in the '30s and '40s, but what kid growing up in Nimoy's era was a big fan of silent films and would know a lot of Lon ...
Jul 26, 2024 · In the 1990's, in the wake of the success of Brunas, Brunas, and Weaver's Universal Horrors!, Lon Chaney, Junior's grandson, Ron, was planning to resurrect the project that was moribund for two decades. Hereabouts, I made the lame quip that A Century of Chaneys would be better titled A Century of Waiting. Best regards, Andy. While it would have ...
May 21, 2006 · Lon Chaney Jr. continues to resonate with the public as a screen actor. I recently attended a screening of "The Defiant Ones" at the Motion Picture Academy. When Chaney Jr. initially appeared on screen during the turpentine camp sequence, there was an immediate burst of sustained applause.
Lon Chaney, Junior's claim that studios "starved" him into forsaking his given name and trading on his deceased father's celebrity sounds to me like words spoken by the actor himself late in life to Forrest J. Ackerman or some other journalist.
Jun 7, 2023 · Lon Jr. was in fact a cowboy star on two occasions, starring in the 1932 RKO Western serial The Last Frontier and the 1942 Universal serial Overland Mail, complete with colorful sidekicks (a quirky character actor named Slim Cole in the former, Noah Beery Jr. and Don Terry in the latter).
Re: Chaney Jr. Post Dec 18, 2006 #154 2006-12-18T17:16+00:00 What you fail to add is that this classic remake of Arsenic and Old Lace was in fact, filmed right after Boris' bouncing.
Sep 20, 2023 · It's not a movie, but since the Monkees episode has been invoked, I guess it's also OK to bring up the Rifleman episode "Gunfire", where Chaney Jr. plays a rare (for him) utterly evil bad guy, an outlaw locked up in the North Fork jail, confidently waiting for his gang to bust him out and gleefully taunting an increasingly nervous Micah (Paul ...
