Very neat picture!

 

Thank you SO much for this thread !!! Being born in 1958, PLUS I'm currently alternating between Leave It To Beaver and The Twilight Zone on DVD, and Blu ray respectively, I've really gotten a kick out of this thread.

I'm on season 2 of Beaver, and was wondering what was up with the exteriors of the house ? Now I know !

Touch Of Evil

Orson Welles goes over the script with actors Charlton Heston and Mort Mills



Janet Leigh broke her arm just before shooting started, and her cast had to be creatively camouflaged in some shots

Welles and Metty line things up

 

Buddy Ebsen test shots for The Wizard Of Oz. Ebsen began shooting in the Tin Man role but had a severe allergic reaction to the aluminum dust in the silver make-up. He was hospitalized and quietly replaced on the film by Jack Haley, who was not told why Ebsen left the production and did not learn the reason until many years later.

 

I remember seeing that second picture in a book on the 50th anniversary of the film in 1989 when I was 10 years old and freaked out by it. All these years later I still am. I am sorry what happened to Buddy happened, but I am glad they did not go with make-up test #1!
