The Saint: The Death Game (5.17, ITC, 1967)
"You see, some people do not take kindly to the pressures I exert. Naturally, I have to enforce this by having them executed - preferably in such a way that it appears to be an accident. I should like to consider you two ideal candidates for my pressure department. Your starting salaries will be seventy-five thousand dollars a year."
"And we start with Templar."

Continuando con la colección series del ayer o vintage, es el turno de una serie británica de la década del 60’, THE SAINT (El Santo), estrenada en 1962. Una serie que abarco 6 temporadas entre 1962 y 1969 para un total de 118 capítulos, de los cuales 71 fueron en blanco y negro y 47 a todo color.
La serie muestra las aventuras de Simón Templar (ROGER MOORE), el cual es una especie de aventurero sofisticado, además de irresistiblemente encantador, una mezcla de justiciero, detective aficionado que sigue la pista de los delincuentes por todo el mundo a quienes no duda robarles.
Siempre va en la ayuda de aquellos a quienes la policía no protege, a menudo con métodos por fuera de la ley, en aventuras que incluyen estafar a ladrones, casi siempre defendiendo a bellas mujeres de criminales violentos o de ricos inescrupulosos, lo cual lo convertia en una especie de Robin Hood moderno.
Hay que decir que el personaje tiene un protagonismo total y absoluto, Templar es una especie de agente refinado y flemático y que se trato de una serie unipersonal en la cual era rodeado de personajes secundarios en cada episodio, y siempre centrado en los relatos de Leslie Charteris (su creador) alla en la década del 20, del siglo XX.
Simon Templar viéndolo en esta serie con su caracter tan ironico y con un estereotipo tan ingles parece preanunciar un papel que encarnaría 10 años después, el de JAMES BOND.
En la serie existían otros personajes, pero el que mas sobresalía era el del inspector Teal (IVOR DEAN).El programa llego a ser bastante exitoso y fue emitido en mas de 60 paises a pesar del aura anglosajon, siendo la segunda serie británica de acción mas exitosa, solo por detrás de otra gran serie llamada The Avengers (Los Vengadores).
Hacia el año 1979 reapareció la serie con el nombre Return of the Saint con IAN OGILVY como su protagonista y tiempo mas tarde en 1989 hubo una serie de películas para la televisión protagonizadas por SIMON DUTTON. También hubo una película para la pantalla grande protagonizada por Val Kilmer en el año 1997, que paso sin pena ni gloria. No hay mucho mas para agregar, salvo el puntaje que en mi opinión es un 6/10.

Sons Of The Silent Age. Part One.
1) Ivy Duke (1896-1937) starred in the 1920 hit film The Lure of Crooning Water. She drank herself to death after her career took a downward turn.
2) Sybil Rhoda (1902-2005) starred in Alfred Hitchcock’s Downhill opposite Ivor Novello. Interviewed at age 101, she said "I'm amazed I've existed so long. I'm surprised about the whole thing. I can't get over it,"
3) Maurice Elvey (1887-1967) was one of the most prolific film directors in history, making nearly 200 films between 1913 and 1957. During the silent film era, he directed as many as 20 films per year. His adaptations of Sherlock Holmes were praised by Arthur Conan Doyle. In order to film the sinking of a troop ship, Elvey built a water tank in his own back garden, spending two months to fill it up via his kitchen tap.
4) Victoria Hopper (1909–2007) was a British actress popular during the 1930s. From 1934 until 1939, she was married to film director Basil Dean, who grew interested in Hooper due to her resemblance to his former lover Meggie Albanesi (1899-1923). Dean cast her in several major films, which did badly at the box office.
5) Chrissie White (1895-1989) appeared in more than 180 films. White married director Henry Edwards, and they became one of the most newsworthy celebrity couples of the 1920s. They had two children, and remained together until his death in 1952.
6) Cora Goffin (1902-2004) was an actress on the London stage. She acted in two silent films, during which she leapt from a moving horse and threw herself beneath a moving car in Paris. There were reports that she had her legs insured for £20,000 with Lloyd's of London. Goffin married theatre manager Emile Littler in 1933. She became Lady Littler when Emile was knighted in 1974

Poets of the First World War Sixteen poets of the Great War (World War I) are remembered on this memorial: - Richard Aldington (1892-1962) - Laurence Binyon (1869-1943) - Edmund Blunden (1896-1974) - Rupert Brooke (1887-1915) - Wilfred Gibson (1878-1962) - Robert Graves (1895-1985) - Julian Grenfell (1888-1915) - Ivor Gurney (1890-1937) - David Jones (1895-1974) - Robert Nichols (1893-1944) - Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) - Sir Herbert Read (1893-1968) - Isaac Rosenberg (1890-1918) - Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967) - Charles Sorley (1895-1915) - Edward Thomas (1878-1917) None of the poets are actually buried in the Abbey. The stone is of Westmoreland slate, cut by Harry Meadows. The inscription in red lettering around the names reads: My subject is War, and the pity of War. The Poetry is in the pity The date "1914+1918" appears at the base. The idea for this memorial came from the Dean of Westminster, Edward Carpenter, who initially thought that five or seven poets could be chosen to represent all the poets of the Great War. He consulted with eminent historians and authors to ask for their suggestions. From those suggestions a final list of sixteen representative poets was drawn up and funding was obtained. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd_QajfLPr-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

DR. JEKYLL & SISTER HYDE (1971) – Episode 175 – Decades Of Horror 1970s
“I walked the streets, brooding on the bitter irony that all I wanted to do for humanity, for life, would be cheated by death… unless I could cheat death.” And eventually, he discovered… you can’t cheat a cheater. Join your faithful Grue Crew – Doc Rotten, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr – as they discuss Dr. Jekyll & Sister Hyde(1971), a Hammer film with a twist on the classic Robert Louis Stevenson story.
Decades of Horror 1970s Episode 175 – Dr. Jekyll & Sister Hyde (1971)
Join the Crew on the Gruesome Magazine YouTube channel! Subscribe today! And click the alert to get notified of new content! https://youtube.com/gruesomemagazine
A Victorian scientist tests a serum that transforms him into a sensuous murderess.
Director: Roy Ward Baker
Writers: Brian Clemens (screenplay); Robert Louis Stevenson (based upon the story by)
Selected cast:
Ralph Bates as Dr. Henry Jekyll/Jack the Ripper
Martine Beswick as Mrs. Edwina Hyde
Gerald Sim as Professor Robertson
Lewis Fiander as Howard Spencer
Susan Brodrick as Susan Spencer
Dorothy Alison as Mrs. Spencer
Ivor Dean as William Burke
Tony Calvin as William Hare
Philip Madoc as Byker
Paul Whitsun-Jones as Sergeant Danvers
Virginia Wetherell as Betsy
Dan Meaden as Town Crier
Neil Wilson as Older Policeman
Bill describes Dr. Jekyll & Sister Hyde as a mid-level Hammer film searching for the magic mix that can reverse the company’s fortunes during the beginning of its decline. At the same time, he gives the filmmakers credit for their creativity and for the transformation scenes that, though not perfect, are well done. Dr. Jekyll & Sister Hyde was not at the top of the list of Hammer films he hadn’t yet seen, but Jeff’s glad he did experience it. He praises the filmmakers and actors for depicting the Jekyll and Hyde variations as somewhat androgynous, helping to make the transformations believable. He also likes the triple threat of Jekyll/Hyde, Jack the Ripper, and Burk & Hare nicely combined into one story by writer Brian Clemens. Doc, who chose Dr. Jekyll & Sister Hyde for this episode, also describes it as an example of Hammer reaching for some answers. To him, the way the film’s themes are handled doesn’t really hold up while admitting the failure might be a product of the times in which it was made. He also describes Dr. Jekyll as a role more complex than many, possibly making it Ralph Bates’ best Hammer role.
The 70s Grue-Crew universally laud Martine Beswick’s performance and lament the absence of any character in the film for which to root. For those wishing to watch, or rewatch, Dr. Jekyll & Sister Hyde, the film is available to stream from Tubi, Freevee, The Roku Channel, Peacock, Hoopla, and several PPV sources. The film is also available as a Blu-ray disc from Scream Factory. Of course, this information is as of the time of this writing.
Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next episode in their very flexible schedule, chosen by Jeff, will be Blue Sunshine (1977). That one should be a fun trip. (See what I did there?)

1884 – Hugh Walpole, English novelist, born in Aukland, New Zealand (d.1941); As a young man, the future dean of English letters who could make or break literary careers and reputations hero-worshiped Henry James, more than forty years his senior. Walpole called him "my very dear Master," and James responded with "darling Hugh" and "my belovedest little Hugh." Little Hugh, the story goes, once attempted to seduce the virginal James, who promptly broke into tears and cried, "I can't...I can't"
A discreet homosexual, Walpole spent much time and energy looking for "the ideal friend". Of the many he considered, Walpole's greatest loves were the Danish tenor Lauritz Melchior and a married Cornish constable named Harold Cheevers who had once been revolver champ of the British Isles. Like E.M. Forster's London bobby, Cheevers, often described as his 'chauffeur and companion', was brawny and masculine and stayed with Walpole until the day the writer died.
Walpole's first novel was The Wooden Horse (1909) and Fortitude (1913) his first great novelistic success. He worked for the Red Cross in Russia during World War I, an experience that fed his The Dark Forest (1916) and The Secret City (1919).
Walpole's commercial success enabled him to maintain an expensive lifestyle, with a flat in Piccadilly, London, and a large house, Brackenburn, on the slopes of Catbells overlooking Derwentwater in the Lake District.
Walpole was a prominent member of 1930s London gay literary society along with Noel Coward, Ivor Novello, W.H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood.
He died from a heart attack in 1941 while doing volunteer war work in Keswick in Cumbria where he lived and based many of his most enduring stories.

1950 – David Bergman is an American writer and English professor at Towson University, in Towson, Maryland part of the University System of Maryland. He was born in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, grew up in Laurelton, New York, and graduated from Kenyon College (1972) and earned a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University (1978). He is openly gay and Jewish.
Bergman is the author of Gaiety Transfigured: Gay Representation in American Literature and the editor of Camp Grounds: Style and Homosexuality.
He received the George Elliston Poetry Prize for his work Cracking the Code. With Karl Woelz, he won a Lambda Book Award for editing Men on Men 2000. The Men on Men series showcases the remarkable talent of gay literary writers. These venerable collections of short stories have become a gay literary institution, launching the careers of several writers.

1960 – John Greyson, born in Nelson, British Columbia, is a Canadian filmmaker, whose work frequently deals with gay themes. Greyson is also a video artist, writer and activist; he is currently a professor at York University, where he teaches film and video theory and film production and editing.
He directed several short films, including The Perils of Pedagogy, Kipling Meets the Cowboy and Moscow Does Not Believe in Queers, before releasing his first feature film, Pissoir, in 1988. Pissoir is a response to the homophobic climate of the period and, particularly, to police entrapment of men in public washrooms (toilets) and parks and police raids on gay bathhouses.
Greyson's next film was The Making of "Monsters", a short musical film produced during Greyson's residency at the Canadian Film Centre in 1991. The film deals with the 1985 murder by five adolescent males of Kenneth Zeller, a gay high school teacher and librarian, in Toronto's High Park. The film is a fictional documentary about the making of a movie-of-the-week, entitled "Monsters," in which the young murderers are depicted as psychopathic monsters, rather than 'normal' teenage boys. The film features Marxist literary critic Georg Lukács as the producer of "Monsters," with Bertolt Brecht (played by a catfish) as director. Greyson's film was pulled from distribution when the estate of Kurt Weill objected to its use of the tune of Mack the Knife. Greyson had originally received copyright permission to use the tune, but it was withdrawn, apparently because Weill's estate objected to the film's gay theme. Although copyright is no longer an issue, having lapsed in 2000, fifty years after Weill's death, the film has not yet been re-released by the Canadian Film Development Corporation.
Greyson directed the feature length films Zero Patience and Lillies.
Greyson's other films include Un©ut (1997), The Law of Enclosures (1999) and Proteus (2003). He has also directed for television, including episodes of Queer as Folk, Made in Canada and Paradise Falls.
Greyson is popular with film critics but controversial with some audiences because of the flamboyant theatricality and thematic complexity of his filmmaking style, and the frank depiction of gay themes in his work. His feature works have all been commercially unsuccessful.
In summer 2013, Greyson traveled to Egypt, where he and fellow Canadian, Dr. Tarek Loubani, were detained without charges, in a cell with 38 other people. Reports indicate the two were on their way to Gaza to carry out medical relief work, but were forced to remain in Cairo as the crossing was closed. They remained in detention from August 16 to October 5, 2013.
Greyson's union, the York University Faculty Association, ran a campaign via LabourStart in an effort to force the Egyptian government to release him. Greyson and Loubani began a hunger strike on September 16 to protest their treatment.
The Canadian government announced on October 5 that Greyson and Loubani had been released, however they were unable to board a flight to Frankfurt due to remaining on a no-fly list issued by government prosecutors. On October 10, Greyson and Loubani were cleared for departure and left Egypt for home the next day.

1984 – Noel Fisher is a Canadian actor. He is known for his portrayal of Mickey Milkovich on the Showtime series Shameless, as well as his portrayal of Cael Malloy on the FX series The Riches. He played Ellison "Cotton Top" Mounts in the Emmy Award–winning miniseries Hatfields & McCoys as well as Vladimir, a 1500-year-old vampire in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, and Michelangelo in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and its sequel Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. He also has had a substantial number of roles in shows such as Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior, Lie to Me, Bones, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
Fisher was born in Vancouver, British Columbia. He began his acting career at the age of 14 in the television movie, The Sheldon Kennedy Story. During his time as a young actor in Vancouver, he was encouraged to "take many different classes" and "fell in love" with piano, which he studied for eight years.
He debuted in 1999 with The Sheldon Kennedy Story, a sport drama movie on the ice hockey player Sheldon Kennedy. His performance landed Fisher his first Gemini Awards nomination. He gained a second nomination with the TV series Godiva's in 2005. He played Brian Gibbons in Final Destination 2 in 2003, one of his first roles in an American movie. From 2007, Fisher became more known by public due to the critically acclaimed FX series The Riches, portraying Cael, the conniving and clever son of Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver.
Fisher has received many accolades for playing Mickey Milkovich, a gay thug character on Shameless. Though Fisher is straight, his sexuality is often questioned in interviews. He has responded to the controversy as such,
"I don't look at Mickey as a gay character. I look at him as a person, who happens to be gay. I think it's weird how we, as a society, try to put the LGBT community in a box, when in fact, they are just people. They have the same complexities as you and me. That's how I look at Mickey, as a complex person."

1991 – "Paris is Burning" premieres in the U.S. It is a documentary that shows New York’s drag scene in the 1980s, directed by Jennie Livingston. It chronicles the ball culture of New York City and the African-American, Latino, gay, and transgender communities involved in it. Some critics consider the film to be an invaluable documentary of the end of the "Golden Age" of New York City drag balls, and a thoughtful exploration of race, class, gender, and sexuality in America. In 2016, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Tumblr media
2009 – Shawn Woodward is charged with aggravated assault after physically attacking 62-year-old Ritchie Dowrey in Vancouver's Fountainhead Pub, allegedly because "He's a faggot. He deserved it." Although Dowrey survived the assault, he suffered brain damage serious enough that he will likely remain in intensive care for the rest of his life.
In November 2010, Woodward was sentenced to six years in jail for what the judge described as an "unprovoked attack, driven by virulent homophobia." Vancouver Provincial Court Judge Jocelyn Palmer rejected Woodward's evidence that Dowrey had touched his crotch before the assault. She said the evidence showed that Dowrey — who was celebrating his retirement that night — had twice approached Woodward and asked if he could buy him a beer and had merely touched his shoulder. However, Woodward responded: "'I'm not like that,' meaning 'I'm not gay,'" said the judge.
As he was leaving the pub, Woodward sucker-punched Dowrey and then stepped over him to get to the door, Palmer said. "Mr. Dowrey had no opportunity to defend himself," the judge said.
The judge said sentencing should reflect circumstances that showed the crime was fuelled by bias, prejudice or hatred based on such things as race, religion or sexual orientation. Palmer found there were aggravating homophobic factors in the assault and noted Woodward had shown no remorse for his actions.

The Saint: The Desperate Diplomat (6.4, ITC, 1968)
"What happened to him?"
"Well, it's nothing to do with us, old boy. He was unconscious when we got here. He's lost a lot of blood. Got two bad wounds, making off with the money."
"He ought to have medical treatment."
"He'll come round. Then he'll tell us where the money is. After that, I don't much care if he lives or dies."
#the saint#the desperate diplomat#1968#leslie charteris#terry nation#ray austin#roger moore#suzan farmer#robert hardy#ivor dean#john robinson#david cargill#kenneth gardnier#pamela conway#leslie crawford#terence plummer#maggie london#yutte stensgaard#charlotte selwyn#brian harrison#I'm still not sold on the new theme tune.. it has a vocal aspect that im not convinced really works. hum. this is a notable ep as it is i#think the first directing credit of Ray Austin; formerly a stuntman and fight arranger for hire‚ he'd been doing odd jobs on the series#almost back to the beginning‚ and had been allowed to do some 2nd unit directing on other ITC shows‚ but The Saint was kind of the companys#show horse at this point and to get a proper directing job on it was a clear vote of confidence. perhaps it's then unsurprising that the ep#is an action bonanza‚ full of intricately choreographed fight scenes and multiple speaking roles for stunt performers like Crawford and#Plummer (presumably Austin was doing a favour for old pals‚ knowing a speaking role got you a higher wage). Hardy is the villain of the#week and as always he's enormous fun as a public school type scoundrel ready to kill anyone to get his hands on a hefty cash prize#the plot concerns an African state's relief funds being stolen to prevent them falling into corrupt hands‚ a plot quite similar to one Man#in a Suitcase had played with‚ and more generally (newly independent African nations reckoning with corruption) a subject that seems to#have fascinated Terry Nation; multiple of his Saint episodes brush on the theme‚ some sensitively some.. less so. this is middle ground
