I DO remember PHANTOM EMPIRE and UNDERSEA KINGDOM, with Lon Chaney, Jr. I'm also lucky to have the BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN suite by Franz Waxman. Also, did you know that Buster Crabbe and Priscilla Lawson were in a 1936 film called ROSE BOWL? I don't know exactly when it was made, but I suspect it was pre-FLASH GORDON, as his hair appeared to be light brown. I always liked Priscilla Lawson...she rather reminded me of Katherine Demille, but lower on the food chain. My only problem is that the only station in my area that shows any sort of Classic film is TCM. TCM has some Universals, but not many, and then, they are capricious about what they will show. They will show KISS BEFORE THE MIRROR, by Whale, but NOT ONE MORE RIVER...Also by Whale, much better, and with Colin Clive in one of his best roles.

Clive loved playing the works of John Galsworthy, and this one was one of his favourites...especially working with "Jimmy".

Hello again joystar..I recalled some info re 1936 Rose Bowl flick. Don't recall seeing movie, but B.Crabbe and P.Lawson were in the romantic comedy. (I used to hang around IMDb a lot to see if FG actors were paired up..and vaguely recalled this.) So, check out IMDb for this if you like. Seems it went under name O'Riley's Luck in the UK.

What follows is off thread; I'll put 2 cents in later. Every so often, we have to get colorizing thing out of our system. Will give my opinion next week. (This "stuff" often results in lively chat, but please, never take things personal. Sometimes we step on toes with this, in friendly ways though-we are after all, friends here.) Some colorization changes are ok/good, some horrible, unthinkable. We've all opinions making for interesting/informative conversation. Stay tuned.
