My friends and I have made movies most our lives. "LEWISTOWN WIVES" was a sexy and shocking miniseries based on the Jackie Collins novel "Hollywood Wives." Sadly, we never filmed it. 1984. #miniseries #sexyminiseries #sexy #sexsells #jackiecollins #joancollins #glamor #glamour #glamorous #hollywood #1980s #twentiethcentury #tv #television #classictv #classictelevision #vintagetv #vintagetelevision #sexnovel #sexnovels #sexynovel #sexynovels #homemovies #makingmovies #amateurmovie

I'm starting a new fad for all fans of the 25-year-old soap opera, "PASSIONS." Every time arch-villain Alistair Crane (Alan Oppenheimer) appears 'hands only' from behind his leather chair, I raise my hands, and act the scene with him. Join us! Soon all the cool kids will be doing it. #soap #soaps #soapopera #occultsoap #occultsoaps #occultsoapopera #occultsoapoperas #tv #television #vintagetv #vintagetelevision #vintagetelevisionshows #classictv #classictelevision #alanoppenheimer

Some episode reviews from season 2 of Perry Mason, a series that raised the bar in terms of complex plotting in 1950s U.S. TV and demonstrated the potential of the hour-long episodic TV drama. And that terrific cast! Always fun to revisit.

Johnny Staccato (1959) a stylish gritty jazz-fuelled film noir-inflected PI TV series with John Cassavetes as a piano player/private eye. Similar to Peter Gunn but better - more neurotic, edgy and noirish.

Hi-Jack, an episode of the 1950-51 Dick Tracy TV series. I'm a bit of a Dick Tracy fan and the series did star Ralph Byrd, the definitive screen Dick Tracy. Alas the plot is too conventional and it all looks a bit stodgy. A curiosity more than anything else.

Rod Serling's The Sixteen-Millimetre Shrine, one of my favourite Twilight Zone episodes (1959). A faded movie star (played superbly by Ida Lupino) lives in the past, the past when she was a star.

A wonderful bitter-sweet story. With a terrific twist ending which was copied by a certain well-known film director some years later.
