Damn! (LOL!)

"JOHNNY STACCATO" originally aired on NBC in the 1959-'60 season; this is the beginning of the episode "The Return" [December 17, 1959], with guest stars Tom Allen, a good friend of Cassavetes, as "Eddie Dasko"; Ben Hammer as "The Doctor", and Virginia Vincent as "Jeannie", Eddie's ex-wife, whom he tries to kill when he escapes from the hospital. Very intense...

Hi B: LOL - as always, you've got the details down. And remember Tom Allen in that great "Twilight Zone" episode, "Midnight Sun", with Lois Nettleton and Betty Garde, where the sun, supposedly, is heading toward the sun?! Franny.

[chalomirof63]

Whoops - I meant the sun is heading toward the Earth!!! LOL.

When's this going to come out on DVD? Real DVD. Not that crazy bootleg stuff. I need jitter-free TV.

I liked Trio. Except. When. They. Did. Annoying. Promos. Like. This.

this feller (tom somebody)was in "shadows" directed by cassavetes (not many people know that)

[stupermundithegreat1]

@j43ms You took my post. He's good in Shadows with the girls at the Diner.  Shadows a great film. A bit misunderstood because of the emphasis on the race issue. It was really more about Ben's coming of age. He leaves his friends.

[j43ms]

@stupermundithegreat1

yes he was good! apparently, cassavetes

played up the race angle when he was

trying to get funding for the film, hoping if

someone thought it was in a good cause they

would finance the whole project. but yes, the

film was much more about the 3 main charcters

getting a reality check

[dal4018]

@j43ms HE'S WHITE WHY WOULDN'T HE GET FINANCIAL BACKING FOR HIS SHOW?'

[j43ms]

@dal4018 DON'T KNOW MATE WHY WOULDN'T HE?

[dal4018]

@j43ms I wish I knew myself sir as to why he couldn't get financial backing for his show.

[j43ms]

@dal4018 i think he did in the end

[dal4018]

@j43ms I sincerely would have hoped he did he played a Private Detective right?

[j43ms]

@dal4018

oh you mean the tv show? yes he did (on both counts)

[dal4018]

@j43ms Thanks for the info

[j43ms]

@dal4018 you're welcome

[dal4018]

@j43ms I will strongly assume you have seen "The Dirty Dozen" Cassavettes played the rebel among the prisoners the so-called Gangster

[dal4018]

@j43ms Who wrote the theme music for this show?????
