    Here's a pretty cool shot I hadn't seen before from Bewitched, revealing some of the magic...

    And a strange shot from Batman, which shows why the rearscreen shots always looked so bad in those 1960s/1970s shows...

    That's a great Batman shot. I wonder what was up with the beard!

    For all I know it was a stand-in, or maybe somebody stole Batman's identity. But it's definitely from the 1966 show.

    Bob Denver, Kit Smythe (as Ginger), and Nancy McCarthy (as Bunny) in "Marooned", the unaired original pilot of Gilligan's Island. Note Bunny's very visible navel -- would this have been censored for broadcast?

    Bogart was a little shorter in real life than he seemed on-screen, so he wore these lifts (I think 3-4") in order to be able to look down slightly on Ingrid Bergman.

    Notice anything weird about this picture?

    It's obviously been staged to put Mr. Karloff among a raft of pre-code horror comics.

    The top of the rack shows the Comic Code Authority seal, which wasn't established until late 1954, but the EC Comics shown were released over a year earlier.

    Haunt of Fear #17 was dated Oct/Nov 1953, and Tales From the Crypt #38 was released even before that (Jan/Feb 1953).

    IMO, the picture would have had to have come from 1955 or later, as it probably took some time to get "CCA-ified" comics and racks into stores.

    Must be stand-ins. They are not Adam West and Burt Ward.

    Brilliant stuff, Ed. I particularly love the shots from The Fisher King, one of my all-time favorite movies. Thanks for Sharing.

    It may be at MGM on the set of "High Society".
