Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, DeForest Kelley guest stars in "The Unvanquished," episode 23 of the fourth season of Laramie (original air date March 12, 1963).

Kelley plays one of a trio of brothers who have been committing thefts and blaming them on the Arapaho who are moving through the area on the way to a new reservation. When one of the brothers is accidentally killed by one of the migrants, whose father turns himself in to spare his son, the surviving brothers try to stir the town up into a lynch mob in the hopes that their own crimes will go undiscovered.

Other Trek connections: Joyce Perry, who co-wrote this episode, also wrote "The Time Trap," the twelfth episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series.

Throughout the entire series, I felt that the actor playing the role of Wyatt constantly experiences back pain which is understandable, such gorgeous shoulders are hard to carry and therefore cannot properly stand straight or sit on a chair. And the fandom joke was born that he could use a corset. No kinks, everything is purely for medical purposes no, of course, for the sake of kinks, damn that waist

The Incredible Melting Man es una película de terror y de ciencia ficción estadounidense de 1977, dirigida y escrita por William Sachs .

La trama trata sobre un astronauta cuyo cuerpo comienza a derretirse después de que se expone a la radiación durante un vuelo espacial a Saturno , lo que lo lleva a cometer asesinatos y consumir carne humana para sobrevivir.

Durante la posproducción, los productores volvieron a filmar escenas sin la participación de Sachs. La película fue protagonizada por Alex Rebar como el personaje principal, junto con Burr DeBenning como un científico que intenta ayudarlo y Myron Healey como miembro de la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos general que buscaba capturarlo.

Mientras escribía y filmaba, Sachs fue influenciado por Night of the Living Dead .

Con los cambios de los productores, la película final ha sido descrita como una nueva versión de First Man into Space (1959), que a su vez fue influenciada directamente por The Quatermass Xperiment , a pesar de que Sachs nunca había visto ninguna de esas películas.

A WOMAN OF DISTINCTION

March 16, 1950

Directed by Edward N. Buzzell

Produced by Buddy Adler for Columbia Pictures

Written by Charles Hoffman; additional dialogue by Frank Tashlin; story by Ian McLellan Hunt and Hugo Butler

Synopsis ~ College dean Susan Middlecott thinks there's no room in her life for romance until she meets Professor Alec Stevenson, British lecturer on astronomy, who is in possession of a keepsake of Susan's that he wants to return. Desperate for publicity, lecture bureau press agent Teddy Evans magnifies this into a great romance. The efforts of both dignified principals to quash the story have the opposite effect.

PRINCIPAL CAST

Rosalind Russell (Susan Middlecott) is probably best remembered as Auntie Mame, a role she played on Broadway and in the film and a role Lucille Ball would film in the 1974 musical version of the play. She was nominated for four Oscars. This is her only appearance with Lucille Ball.

Edmund Gwenn (Mark Middlecott) is probably best remembered for playing Kris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street (1947), which also featured William Frawley. He won an Oscar in 1951 for Mister 888. This is his only appearance with Lucille Ball.

Ray Milland (Alec Stevenson) won a 1945 Oscar for The Lost Weekend. This is his only appearance with Lucille Ball.

Janis Carter (Teddy Evans) also appeared with Lucille Ball in Miss Grant Takes Richmond (1949).

Mary Jane Saunders (Louisa) was a seven year-old child actor who also appeared with Lucille Ball in 1949′s Sorrowful Jones.

Francis Lederer (Paul Simone) makes his only appearance with Lucille Ball.

Jerome Courtland (Jerome) makes his only appearance with Lucille Ball.

UNCREDITED CAST

Lucille Ball (as Lucille Ball) plays herself in a cameo appearance in her 73rd motion picture. Leaving an airplane holding a lapdog, movie star Lucille Ball stops to pose for photographs.

Gale Gordon (Station Clerk) was Lucille Ball’s co-star in every one of her radio and television shows: Rudolph Atterbury on “My Favorite Husband,” Alvin Littlefield on “I Love Lucy,” Theodore J. Mooney on “The Lucy Show,” Harrison Otis Carter on “Here’s Lucy,” and Curtis McGibbon on “Life With Lucy.” Whether bellowing or turning a cartwheel, he was Lucy’s perfect comic foil!

Gail Bonney (Woman) also appeared with Lucille Ball in The Fuller Brush Girl (1950). She re-teamed with Lucy in as Mr. Hudson in “The Amateur Hour” in 192, a 1965 episode of "The Lucy Show”, and a 1968 episode of "Here’s Lucy.”

Harry Cheshire (Stewart) also appeared with Lucille Ball in Her Husband’s Affairs (1947), and Miss Grant Takes Richmond (1949). He played oil tycoon Sam Johnson in “Oil Wells” (1954). Mary Ellen Kay (Background Performer) later played Mrs. Taylor, who rents the Ricardo apartment in “Lucy Hates to Leave” (1957).

Norman Leavitt (Earl, Hotel Desk Clerk) also appeared with Lucille Ball in The Long, Long Trailer (1953). He made three appearances on the “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” after which he was in The Facts of Life (1960) and two episodes of "The Lucy Show.”

William Newell (Bartender) played the Nome hotel desk clerk in “Lucy Goes To Alaska” an episode of “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” featuring Red Skelton.

Hans Moebus (Background Performer) was a German-born actor who appeared as an uncredited background performer in hundreds of movies and TV shows, including the Lucille Ball films DuBarry Was a Lady (1943), and The Facts of Life (1960). On “I Love Lucy,” Moebus was seen in “Bon Voyage” also in two episodes of “The Lucy Show.”

Reporters: Larry Barton, Richard Bartell, Harry Strang, Donald Kerr, Charles Jordan, Ted Jordan

Members: Lelah Tyler, Mira McKinney

Conductors: William E. Green, Robert Malcolm

Alex Gerry (Herman Pomeroy) Charles Evans (Dr. McFall) Charlotte Wynters (Miss Withers) Clifton Young (Chet) Jean Willes (Pearl) Wanda McKay (Merle) Elizabeth Flournoy (Laura) Harry Tyler (Charlie) Harry Harvey, Jr. (Joe) Maxine Gates (Goldie) Walter Sande (Officer) Marie Blake (Wax Operator) Napoleon Whiting (Porter) John Smith (Boy) Charles Trowbridge (Jewelry Salesman) Dudley Dickerson (Waiter) Lucille Browne (Manicurist) Lois Hall (Stewardess) Myron Healey (Cameraman) Edward Keane (Sergeant)

TRIVIA OF DISTINCTION

In Spain the film was titled The Teacher’s Scandals.

"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie on October 23, 1950 with Rosalind Russell reprising her film role. Coincidentally, Lucille Ball took over for Rosalind Russell when Screen Directors Radio Playhouse presented “A Foreign Affair” in March 1951.

Rosalind Russell and her husband Fred Brisson were in the studio audience the night “I Love Lucy” filmed “Be A Pal” on September 21, 1951.

Eddie Buzzell also directed Lucille Ball in Best Foot Forward (1943) and Easy to Wed (1946). His name was mentioned as a going away party guest in “Drafted” (ILL S1;E11).

Jungle Moon Men

The title of this movie is a fucking trick. There are no moon men at all, just a tribe who worship a moon goddess who will die if she goes out in the sun, like the albino Sumerians from The Mole People. Deeply disappointing. It was produced by Sam Katzman, who made an enormous number of incredibly bad movies including Teen-Age Crime Wave, and features Myron Healey from The Incredible Melting Man. There’s also quite a lot of material that is very unfortunately reminiscent of Jungle Goddess. I already know I’m going to hate this movie, but I’m watching it anyway because I have a blog.

Our Hero, Johnny Weismuller, and his buddy Kimba the Chimp are hired by adventurous archaeologist Ellen Marsten to take her deep into the jungle, or at least the Spahn Ranch, on a quest for an ancient civilization who worshipped the sun god Ra. Instead, they find a tribe of little people who are ruled by a moon goddess called Oma, the last survivor of an ancient civilization who were swallowed by the Earth after Ra became angry that they’d discovered the secret of eternal life. Nobody is allowed to leave the lost city of Baku, but Johnny and Marsten have to get out somehow, or they’ll be fed to the sacred lions. Maybe they can take some of those diamonds from the temple with them when they go.

Not only are there no moon men in this movie, there’s not even any jungle. Most of the movie was shot in the open scrubland of Corriganville, California, without even an attempt to make it look jungle-ish. The people making the movie knew this, too, because all their animal stock footage is of the savannah. I think the ‘Jungle Trading Post’ building that appears in the background of one shot is actually a zoo gift shop. I can’t entirely blame the film-makers for this, since it’s clear that their budget did not remotely extend to going anywhere jungle-ish, but they didn’t even try. They couldn’t shoot in the woods? They couldn’t even hang a couple of vines?

There are definitely no black people in this movie, except for maybe some of the stock footage when you really can’t see anybody’s face well enough to tell. All the ‘Africans’ are played by white guys who aren’t even wearing any makeup. The Aribi people, whose chief Nolimo wants revenge on Oma for the death of his son Maro, are a bunch of guys in culturally insensitive costumes which, were it not for the leopard print, could have equally well allowed them to be background ‘Indians’ in some terrible budget Western. They even talk in the same forced broken English. The Moon Men are a bunch of short people in shitty Ewok cosplay.

There’s some Egyptian-type iconography in the city of Baku. A lot of it looks like the kind of thing you’d get if you asked a bunch of sixth-graders to paint something Egyptian without looking at any references. They weren’t even talented sixth-graders. Most of the ‘hieroglyphics’ are just squiggly lines, and everything Marsten says about ancient Egypt is transparently, infuriatingly wrong. She talks about a ‘white civilization’ that flourished there long ago, and how the Egyptians had lost wisdom that would tell us why there are different races and why there are tall people and short people. I’m truly shocked she never mentioned aliens.

The actual story is surprisingly engaging at points. Jungle Moon Men is not a long movie, only sixty-five minutes including the credits, but there’s quite a bit going on in it. Aribi chief Nolimo is seeking his revenge, although he gets entirely forgotten about for most of the movie because even fake black people aren’t allowed to do anything in these movies. An unscrupulous guy named Santo wants to steal the moon men’s diamonds. Marsten keeps finding ‘archaeology’ and spouting off ‘ancient legends.’ When it actually gets going, Jungle Moon Men steams along quite nicely and makes us want to know what happens next.

Yet the movie still manages to spend an awful lot of time dallying around doing nothing. There is, for example, the whole opening sequence – first a narrating voice drones on about the Law of the Jungle over a selection of animal stock footage in an attempt to establish that, despite all evidence to the contrary, this story is set in Africa. Then we get a useless sequence in which Kimba the Chimp is fishing, and Johnny swims down to tug on his line just to tease him. Kimba’s supposedly humourous antics fill up quite a bit of the movie, and they’re almost always irrelevant except at the climax, when he sneaks in and unties everybody before the Moon Men’s pet lions can eat them. He’s also badly-dubbed, with loud chimp noises playing over scenes in which Kimba’s mouth isn’t even open.

There’s an extended funeral sequence for Maro, which does nothing at all except show us a bunch of embarrassed extras in skeletal makeup bouncing in a circle. The worst thing in the movie, however, is the part where Marsten and her friend Prentiss go hunting with bows and arrows, ultimately killing two pigs and an out-of-place puma… and I’m not entirely sure but it looks like these three animals were actually killed, just for this movie! The scene establishes that they’re good shots but that wasn’t necessary because shooting things with arrows is never important to the plot. This movie killed three animals for no reason.

The Moon Men themselves, such as they are, are at once supposed to be threatening bad guys and objects of fun. Their mastery of poisons and accuracy with their blow darts makes them sinister enough, but their costumes are absurd and other scenes show them struggling to open the door to the lion cage, or the useless bit where one of them tries to steal a jeep but cannot control it and just drives it into a ditch. Sometimes the punch line is lol, they’re short! and sometimes it’s lol, they’re stupid primitives! and either way it’s obnoxious and offensive. The only joke that works is when they sneak into the tall people’s camp disguised as shrubs, which is funny mostly because of the better movies it reminds me of.

There is kind of a theme to the movie, though – it’s about where information comes from, and what biases people bring to it. First there’s the fate of Maro. In the mind of his father he was kidnapped and murdered, while the Moon Men say he was chosen by the goddess herself for the great honour of being Oma’s high priest, and had to be punished for his senseless betrayal. Marsten and Prentiss are friends but tell very different stories about how romantic that friendship might be. When Oma catches Santo and Johnny fighting, with stolen diamonds all around them, each blames the other until she gets tired of the whole thing and throws them both to the lions. Oma tells her guests that the Moon Men love her and serve her willingly, but after her death they celebrate because they are no longer slaves.

Oma herself is a pretty blonde woman, much like Greta from Jungle Goddess, but she really is some kind of immortal being who holds herself up as a goddess, rather than being a lost heiress whom the natives just assume was divine because she was paler than them. I guess that’s better… maybe… the movie still holds whiteness up as being nearer to godliness. She’s also fully dressed, though her white gown looks nothing like the Ewok costumes the Moon Men wear, and is never treated as a sex object. There is no implication that her high priest is expected to sleep with her, and neither Prentiss nor Johnny fall in love with her, or she with them. That’s definitely an improvement. There is, furthermore, one really nice moment when she demonstrates that she’s way more afraid of the sunshine than she is of the lions – the latter are just cats, while the former is the incarnation of a god who has sworn to punish her.

Ellen Marsten is never a sex object, either. She spends the whole movie fully clothed and is never in any peril that the men aren’t in with her. Everything she says is stupid but within the world of the film she’s clearly supposed to be an expert in her field. Prentiss is in love with her but respects her enough to remain friends despite the fact that she doesn’t return his feelings, and at the end of the movie Marsten herself is not ‘with’ either him or Johnny. She is a character, not a love interest, so that’s refreshing, too.

None of that’s enough to save the movie, though. It’s a cheap, shoddy, racist train wreck with a side of animal cruelty. It’s also a ripoff, having stolen a lot of its major plot points from H. Rider Haggard’s She. I could talk about that in more detail, but I haven’t actually read She, only seen other movies based on it, and I honestly don’t care. I don’t hate Jungle Moon Men as much as I did Jungle Goddess or Black Dragons, but it’s pretty damned bad.
