I bought the Spanish Blu-rays of, Hunchback & Dodge City (same discs as the American release), & they look oh so good, ah, those lovely chocolate-box colours of Dodge city!

Howard --

Nu, did you remember to look for Thomas Mitchell's unbilled bit as the judge? Don't forget, that's what started this whole thread. (And no, I never imagined it would go to multiple pages…

P.



Here he is (from a spare print I just sold on eBay - hence the caption)

Ray, I'm glad you remembered this thread, because I had forgotten about it until your post today. I've just enjoyed re-reading the entire thread -- and correcting all my typos's.

One thing leapt out at me, Ray, upon which I somehow had neglected to remark originally. Hence, now:

RAY -- ! You know how I look up to your expertise and span of knowledge in all matters cinematic and theatrical. But even with all that as a given, you've taken it to a new, almost supernatural level and blown me away with your speculation about the third Sam Harris photo. Please, you've got to share with me and everybody else what you see in that photo which indicates that, based on make-up and lighting (!), it's from a particular studio -- in this case, Columbia.

Thanks!

"Hey Jim - did you read what that so and so said about me!?!?"


Preston - the lighting looks like late 40's Columbia and Harris' makeup also looks like he came from Clay Campbell's chair. Columbia lighting in that period had those wall shadows that hit about two-thirds down from the top of the frame. And I dug out a photo from GILDA which shows another angle of Major Sam at the gambling table.

Okay, thanks, now I know what it is about the lighting. Fascinating, as I knew your explanation would be, and from now on, I fear that I'll no longer be looking at Rita and Glenn or Rita and Fred but at the walls behind them.

But, what is it about the make-up which declares Campbell's signature? How did you know it was him, and not Bob Schiffer?

Dear Sue -- did you ever make it to Hollywood?

Well, I meant the Columbia staff. Heavy theatrical-style base, generally darker flesh tones. Less realistic look than the other studios (again, combo with lighting style).

I'm still impressed all to hell just that you knew it was Columbia!

thnx
