    apesfan "Going Ape"


    In the early 1970s got most of my Planet of the Apes stills and posters their. Met Irv and his wife Paula I think. It was at east 14 st. Then moved. She was getting a little perturbed cause I bought so much original BxW stills with slugs ( title's) and a few door panels from Apes premiere in NYC in February 1968. After a few years got my film materials from The Movie Gallery on Long Island. But she and her husband were my first. Alittle wacky but my mother got along with them. Oy vey. John M.

    From the set of Superman, early 1978, I believe at Pinewood Studios outside London.

    That picture of Truffaut et al on the rooftop is great. And here's the view they were shooting:

    Thanks. That's great. I love the guy at the back. Looks a little unsure - not that I blame him!

    I like the guy who looks like he's eating a peach. He's cool with being up there

    Here is cinematographer Geoffrey Unsworth getting ready to shoot Superman in his "Fortress of Solitude," using the Fisher "flashing system" for reducing contrast (which is what the black boxes are for). They're using 3 cameras because they only had a few days to get all of Marlon Brando's scenes shot, and there were steep penalties if he stayed even a single day longer.

    "Come stay with us, Danny... forever and ever!"

    One of the scarier scenes from Kubrick's The Shining, shot in September of 1978 but not released to theaters until May 1980. Kubrick was infamous for shooting as many as 100 takes of every scene, determined to get at least two absolutely perfect versions of each shot, and then storing the negative in different places (for fear that it might be stolen by thieves).

    Meanwhile, a few months later, John Heard had a bad day on the set of Alien when a nasty creature grabbed his face and dropped eggs down his throat...

    Oops! It's John Hurt. Although, I suspect that's his stand-in here. It doesn't look like his jaw.

    And just when you think every behind-the-scenes picture from Star Wars has already been published, here's one I've never seen before:

    I've never seen these behind-the-scenes shots of Ed Sullivan from his long-running CBS-TV variety show (courtesy of Randy West on Facebook)...

    Howard Caine as "Major Hochstetter" on Hogan's Heroes:

    [​IMG]

    From his early childhood in Tennessee, Caine had always been fascinated with the Appalachian five-string bluegrass banjo and began mastering it in the mid-1960s. From the summer of 1970 until his death in 1993, he had taken trophies at 29 prominent banjo and fiddle contests in the southland for both Best Traditional Banjo and Traditional Singing. He was also a popular folk singer and appeared at a number of prominent folk clubs and folk festivals.​
