The Ghostbreakers

It’s been a while since I last posted a radio-drama on a Sunday – so here’s The Ghostbreakers, the radio adaptation of the 1940 Paramount picture featuring Bob Hope (that reprises his role in the radio version) and beautiful Paulette Goddard (that doesn’t, alas).

For the uninitiated, The Ghostbreakers is one of the two Goddard-Hope horror comedies that inspired, of all things, Disney’s Haunted Mansion attraction.

Enjoy!

Lady in the Lake

Today I caught on the telly a trailer for a new action movie – for the first time in history of cinema! a movie shot through the viewpoint of the main character.
Basically, an actioneer shot using a Go Pro camera.

From the trailer, it looks like a very high-definition, film quality replay of some first-person shooter.

And I, being old and the sort that loves black and white movies, I remember fondly another for first time in the history of cinema! movie entirely shot in first person subjective.
The most amazing since the movies began!

It was called Lady in the Lake, and it was directed by Robert Montgomery.

I hate when stuff like this happens… makes me feel sooooo old.
