Subject: Re: Donovan's Brain
Hello again --
I might be able to save Wayne Johnson 83 minutes by suggesting that he skip
a viewing of the 1953 movie "Donovan's Brain."
His discovery of this movie is one of those rare finds associated with old
radio programs (or the source for those
old radio programs) one occasionally stumbles across. I saw this movie
several years ago and found it dull to the extreme compared to the two
Suspense programs where
it was dramatized, especially the one where Orson Welles has the lead.
Nothing visual can compare to the "theater of the mind" in imagining the
torment of the scientist and the control the brain exercises over him with
its "Sure, sure, . . . " interjections throughout the program. And Lew
Ayres, immortalized in the late thirties' movies of Dr. Kildare, is just too
kindly and easygoing to be convincing as the scientist taken over by the
living brain. But don't take my word for it: consult the Internet Movie
Database for reviews of the movie, which is described as "yet another
version of Curt Siodmak's novel" (???) but doesn't list any other films by
that name, earlier or later.

Jan Bach

Subject: Lone Ranger
The biggest problem with the movie was the ranger in the movie killed
many of the outlaws and had a cavalier attitude about others. The ranger
of tv and radio never shot to kill. I believe cavendish was the only
person killed by the ranger in the whole series.

The George Eastman House recently posted a number of film shorts, including a
movie trailer for the 1946 SUSPENSE movie from Monogram Studios. Among the
highlights is a public service film produced by Walt Disney about dental
care, Ingrid Bergman reprising the same plea she made on radio during WWII
many times for the American Red Cross, and early technicolor footage of Mary
Pickford on the set of BLACK PIRATE, for which her husband was in the cast.
