I got into the biz in the UK at a busy time and worked hard. It got to be just like any other job everyday but it was a job I loved.

Cool...! Yeah, I guess everything becomes just another job after a while. But you must still have a lot of fun stories, I bet!

100s of them and I've got two threads going. I have a thread on the 70s forum so I should just stick to one. 70s.....Mean while...

AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON…Director John Landis…
Central Casting must have sent 200-300 people down to Piccadilly for a night shoot on this production.
None of us knew anything about the scenes we were going to be involved in so we just hung around coffee bars (Or other bars) chatting and having a night out in The West End.
About 1 o'clock in the morning the production team gathered us all together and told us the scenes they were about to do. (You ain’t gonna believe this).
A WEREWOLF is going to be running out of a cinema in Piccadilly Circus straight across Eros causing cars to crash and have people falling out of bus windows.
(I’m thinking this will do the tourist trade the world of good)
On a cue from the 1st A.D. the real police clear the roads of all late night Joe Public.
The Central Casting crowd are all given places to stand and out of the woodwork comes our buses and cars and stunt people. We’ve got permission to hold up traffic for half an hour and John Landis had multi camera crews covering every angle.
It was over as quickly as it began and as soon as the camera’s stopped rolling the wrecking crews were in there clearing the wrecked cars and sweeping the streets clean again. An hour later it was like we’d never been.
(See the film just to see this sequence)
Well done, John Landis…

Aitch,

Hello Harry (good name lol) 2
I never thought that back in 1966 when I did my first day as an extra on a tv show I would still be involved in the biz in 2009.
I got to work with the master......

1972

FRENZY…Director…Alfred Hitch****…
I am now working with the Master of filming.
Where I was born in Islington London, there was a huge warehouse type building on the corner of the Grand Union Canal in New North Road. (Very near the North Pole Pub)
It was in fact a film studio. As a kid in the forties I used to swim in the canal as it cost nothing entrance fee. (You had to watch out for the large Mocking birds floating on top of the water)
I think the studio was called Gainsborough and as a kid I remember strangely dressed people popping into the pub on the corner of New North Road and Elizabeth Avenue. (Supporting Artists of the past)
Anyway, that’s where Alfred Hitch**** made many of his films.
(I could have bumped into him while I was going swimming and he was popping in for a swift half. It’s a small world)
ONTO THE FILM…
I was now the not so proud owner of an old Bedford van and was booked by the 2nd A.D. on Frenzy to report to Covent Garden fruit market for the start of a weeks work...
There must have been fifty supporting artists working that week as market porters.
It was thirty years ago but some people still come to mind, like Big Mo Dunster who was stand/in on films for Donald Sutherland. Jimmy (the crow) Hammilton, Eddie Dillon And Bill (the body) Hemmings.
I remember the day that Donald Sutherland came down to speak to Mo about a private matter and got into one of the shots.(Everyone wants to be in a Hitch**** movie)
Mo has done well for himself and now lives in the U.S.A. looking after the Sutherland clan. Best wishes Mo, love Boysie.
Mr. Hitch**** was not very well while he was directing this film and would line up all the shots he wanted and leave the running around to his 1st A.D. (Colin Brewer, I think)
We filmed all around the market for the next week or so loading vans and unloading vans (Including my old Bedford) but I was more interested in watching the Master at work. Then near the end of the shoot in the market it happened.
The Master looked at me then at the 1st A.D. and said…
‘’Tell that man to climb up on that lorry and start unloading it’’
(‘’That man’’) he said my name, I was being directed by the great man himself.
We shot a lot of the inside of the film at Pinewood. Then some stuff with the Bedford Following a potato lorry up and down major roads and that was it.
I was sorry to see the end of the filming but it’s one film I will never forget.
If you’re looking down from that great studio in the sky Mr. Hitch**** ‘’That Man’’ will say hello when he gets there.
Aitch,

Get Carter is a great movie!
I like the Stallone version too although it´s a completely different take.

Watched all the apes films over the last week. It'd been a good few years since I watched a couple of them, but it just felt like yesterday once they started [Smile] My ratings:

Planet Of The Apes (1968) - 10/10
Beneath The Planet Of The Apes - 6/10
Escape From The Planet Of The Apes - 7/10
Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes - 8/10
Battle For The Planet Of The Apes - 9/10 Maybe I went a little crazy with my rating for this one but it's so much fun [Big Grin]
Planet Of The Apes (2001) - 3/10

The Godfather: Part II - 9/10

A film worthy of it's classic status.

The only version of 'Get Carter' worth watching is the original.

Yes, too right. I couldn't agree with you more there.

The Stepford Wives (1975)

- This is a good mystery thriller.
The real reason i watched this again is that i just bought
the tv-movie Revenge of the Stepford Wives (1980) VHS-tape (Starring Don Johnson etc.)
I´ll check out that one soon.

I have seen The Stepford Wives as well. And I also recollect the conclusion, which is as sad as it is eerie.

The Stepford Wives remake has to be one of the worst on record.

I watched also the short making of The Stepford Wives
and the producer said that his first choice for the director was Brian De Palma.
I guess that it would be a totally different flick if he would have directed it [Cool]

And would there be Carrie directed by De Palma if that would have happened...

Then we would have been treated to The Stepford Wives opening shower scene as directed by De Palma. [Big Grin]
