It's obvious from this clip that Elisha couldn't play the drums to save his life.

This was played by Dave Coleman though he was uncredited for this movie...most were uncredited back then unless they were big name stars...

I knew Gene Krupa from playing in Times Square in the 50's and 60's at the Metropole Cafe...this started me in the music business booking live bands...

he busted out a load

Elisha Cook JR always played losers, and his role in Phantom lady was no exception. Ella Raines is putting on an act here trying to get Cook's attention-which wasn't difficult- in order to get information from him that could aid the man she loved.

The full credits are on imdb: imdb com / title / tt0036260 / fullcredits # cast -- No Gene nor Davey here, but Dave Coleman, Sr. (!), whose son Dave Coleman is also playing the drums.

Thanks for posting this scene from one of my favorite films noire.

For those who really want to know or even care that was actually Davy Tough on drums. At times, Mr. Tough was so desperate for cash (due to his drinking problem) that he would play on cartoons, bad movies or anything else, without giving credits to his name, just to get a fix. Davy was barely 40 years old when he died from liver poisoning. Davy was underrated by some but in my book Davy Tough stands right up there with Gene Krupa.

Thanks for your post.

Does anyone know what the name of the song/music clip at the very beginning is called? grascias in advance! x

I love this, orgasmic drum solo. Phantom Lady is one of the most memorable Noir films of the forties.

[ishredu]

yeah it's buddy, no one I've ever heard before could make the rim shot's so separate sounding from the fundamental implied whole note [closed triplets]except for buddy it's def. NOT gene Gene lacked the sheer facility to pull that off.

buddy 100%

This IS a neat clip. But "Bop?" No kind of bop

here. Bebop was brand new right then and nothing

like mainstream yet.
