A King in New York (1957)
Where is Shani in this movie?
I saw this movie on TV many years ago and remember being amazed to see the great Charlie Chaplin talking and displaying his wonderful comic talent. I remember being amazed by the talent of Chaplin's young relation - I believe it was his son or grandson. I also remember seeing the great British actress and singer Shani Wallis belting out a number about a Jukebox as a nightclub singer, but since buying the video she is no where to be seen! With such a talent, was it necessary for the editors or distributors to have her part cut? Does anyone out there have a copy of this movie on video or DVD with Shani's minor part included?
Hi! Summer (1977)
Great show
I remember this programme so well. It also starred ANNA DAWSON, MARIE GORDON SAINT, DEREK GRIFFITH, PEARLY GATES, CARL WAYNE and the dance troupe (The Blondes and The Fellas) included the late STEPHANIE LAWRENCE and ex coronation street star CHRIS QUINTEN and David HAMPSHIRE. Songs of the day and years gone bye with Leslie Crowther taking the lead and I believe each week the cast were taken to various locations which set the theme for each programme. Some of the places they took the show was at Crystal Palace, Weybourne Air park and Stratford Upon Avon. Lena Zavouroni was a great talent and this show helped her to shine. Leslie played a mean piano and was hilarious in comedy sketches with Anna Dawson and Derek Griffith - pure enjoyment for all the family. Carl Wayne sang the theme tune!
Mystery and Imagination: The Lost Stradivarius (1966)
Nightmares
God! I remember being allowed to stay up late and watch this episode and it gave me the scariest nightmares for months afterwards. I have never forgotten it, although I cant for the life of me remember anything about it other than involved a phantom violin player and was so eery. I remember it even scared my dear parents, so it must have had an impact on other TV viewers of the time. I wonder if these episodes are on video as I think I ought to face my past nigtmares and watch them. I also remember seeing the end of another episode which had some lady listening to her husband in a study and getting herself locked in a safe! That freaked me out as well!
