RENÉE GLYNNE: I am Renée Alma Glynne, nee Renée Galler. I was born in Hackney in 1926 which was the year of The General Strike, of very nice parents, whose parents were living in Russia at the time of the pogroms and left in, say, 1890, something like that. Went from there, accidentally, to New York – I think they were meant to come here. They stayed in New York and then they did come to London and respectively had my parents. So sometimes I think I am Russian, but I grew up absolutely being an English child with no foreign languages around me or anything foreign. (TIME 01.09) DARROL BLAKE: And where was that? RENÉE GLYNNE: It began … I was born in Hackney overlooking Victoria Park. Very beautiful. Went down the drain later and is now up the drain. DARROL BLAKE: Did you have any ambitions when you were a young girl? Did you always want to go into the film business? RENÉE GLYNNE: Entertainment business, behind stage. I really wanted to be, probably, in the wardrobe of theatre or an ASM [Assistant Stage Manager]. And I knew that it was going to be theatre and I hadn’t really … I went to cinemas and saw films, but I never yearned to do movies. DARROL BLAKE: Was that in your family at all? (TIME 02.00) RENÉE GLYNNE: My two uncles were in very well-known bands.

Inhalt Roy und Denise Solomon ziehen mit ihrer Teenager-Tochter Jess und ihrem kleinen Sohn Ben in ein entlegenes Farmhaus in einem Sonnenblumenfeld in North Dakota. Dass sich dort womöglich übernatürliche Dinge abspielen könnten, bleibt von den Erwachsenen unbemerkt. Aber Ben und kurz darauf Jess spüren bald, dass nicht alles mit rechten Dingen zugeht. Weil ihr die Eltern nicht glauben wollen, recherchiert Jess auf eigene Faust und erfährt, dass sich in ihrem neuen Zuhause sechs Jahre zuvor ein bestialischer Mord abgespielt hat. Kritik Für sein amerikanisches Debüt hat sich das umtriebige Brüderpaar Danny und Oxide Pang („The Eye“) eine Variante von „Amityville Horror“ ausgesucht, um eine amerikanische Durchschnittsfamilie nach allen Regeln der Kunst mit übernatürlichem Terror zu überziehen.

  • The Wrecking Crew’
    © Copyright 2012 Walt Missingham ‘THE WRECKING CREW’ The Forgotten Bruce Lee Movie Written by Walt Missingham The Wrecking Crew, released in 1969 and starring Dean Martin, Elke Sommer, Nancy Kwan and Sharon Tate is the fourth and final film in a series of American comedy-spy-fi theatrical releases featuring Martin as secret agent Matt Helm. As with the previous three Helm spy movies (The Silencers, Murderers' Row, and The Ambushers), it is based only loosely upon Donald Hamilton's 1960 novel of the same title and takes great liberties with the plot and characters, being developed as a spoof of the James Bond films. The Wrecking Crew was the second Helm novel published and the earliest of the books to be adapted. This was the last film of Tate's to be released before her murder at the hands of Charles Manson's followers on August 9, 1969. © Copyright 2012 Walt Missingham Bruce Lee coaching Nancy Kwan and Sharon Tate Not known by many is that the film featured a virtual who’s who of American martial arts royalty with Chuck Norris, Joe Lewis, Ed Parker and Bruce Lee all appearing in the film. Bruce Lee was engaged as the martial arts choreographer for the film and insisted on bringing in as many top martial arts exponents as he could. © Copyright 2012 Walt Missingham Joe Lewis squares off against Dean Martin As the film progressed it became obvious to Dean Martin as well as Producer Irving Allen and Director Phil Karlson that Lee’s skills and the martial arts in general should and would be an integral part of the next Mat Helm movie ‘The Ravagers’ Chuck Norris with Elke Summers and Dean Martin © Copyright 2012 Walt Missingham Bruce Lee was choreographer for the fight scenes but also doubled for Dean Martin in all the fights.
