It was a great day! First a long morning and afternoon by the pool, then a performance of my show, followed up by food and fun with several close friends.<br /><br />Gingerguy, I agree that even though Graves was in a TON of westerns, he never seems as much a part of that genre as big brother James did. My first encounter with "M:I" was a Lesley Ann Warren ep! But I'd already known about Barbara Bain from a big TV book I had (and cherished.) I could never get enough of A&E Biography, unless it was about some dry, rather obscure, historical figure. Give me a star instead! LOL<br /><br />My GOD, hsc, I had no idea about all that "Bayou" info. Unreal... I am familiar with Tim Carey, though. There were several people in Tinseltown who he truly SCARED on a movie set. I have "Scream of the Wolf" on DVD a 2-movie set (with something else starring David Janssen - "Moon of the Wolf," I think??) and intended to make caps for this post, but ran out of time to go dig it out. :-[ Thanks!

A couple of added tidbits:
"B...Great article! A couple of added tidbits:<br /><br />"Bayou" (1957) was a flop, so producer M. A. Ripps bought it back from United Artists, shot new footage with doubles, and re-edited it into the 1961 "Adults Only!" exploitation classic "Poor White Trash". The body doubles were incredibly obvious, but the added sex and rape scenes and amped-up violence were enough to keep it on Dixie drive-in double features for decades, often paired with William Shatner's "I Hate Your Guts!" (originally shot by Roger Corman as "The Intruder", likewise picked up by Ripps).<br /><br />Two standout elements of "Poor White Trash" are the banjo-plunking new title song (as infectious as the theme song to "Two Thousand Maniacs!") and a bizarre "dance" by the incomparable Timothy Carey, seen in the shot above with Graves and Lita Milan. (Carey was the original wildman actor that Nic Cage, Crispin Glover, Joaquin Phoenix and Shia LaBeouf have spent their careers trying to live up to.)<br /><br />Lita Milan left movies after a couple of years and became the second wife of Ramfis Trujillo, son of the Dominican Republic dictator; from what I gather from his Wikipedia entry, the whole thing must've been a lot like "The Adventurers" minus swing accidents (they had two kids). <br /><br />I haven't been able to track down "Scream of the Wolf" since it first aired to confirm how homoerotic this really was, but Mike Weldon's "Psychotronic Encyclopedia" sums it up as "Clint Walker as a macho sportsman trying to get his former best 'pal' Peter Graves to leave his girlfriend so the two of them can go live in the woods together." <br /><br />And let me add my wishes for a Happy Birthday!<br /><br />hschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788554330108647969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-43071193088810475142017-08-19T01:07:33.730-04:002017-08-19T01:07:33.730-04:00Happy Early Birthday.

I am also happy just to have anything. There was a "Dynasty" era joke about Krystle having a "silver fox" meaning Blake. He was my original Silver Daddy (what, there is a website called that?) bur Peter is up there too with the handsome silver haired types. Good looking and so different than his brother. He was so frequently cast in westerns despite (to me) his smooth city looks. There were a lot of Scandinavians in the west so it's historically accurate I guess.<br />The pic of him and Jeff Chandler is great. Silver sexy times two.<br />He is good in "Rage to Live" one of my all time tawdry faves. That wife really gets cracked in the face by Suzanne.<br />I was a big Mission Impossible fan, had no idea about the chronology as I watched them in syndication and they were always mixed up. Linda Day George was first for me. I recently saw something about Peter Lupus having a resort in Florida way back when. I would have wanted a Peter Lupus theme park.<br />Airplane was really funny, and the casting of all those serious guys made it doubly so. Was lukewarm on the sequel as with most, but he was brilliant casting.<br />Before the internet "Biography" was must-see-TV. If it was somebody I liked that show was just heaven. He was really good with his narration too. Thanks for this walk down memory lane with Peter, and have a great birthday.<br />Gingerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989371210392669145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-76004749726390762632017-08-17T07:51:45.231-04:002017-08-17T07:51:45.231-04:00Great post about an omnipresent actor!
