Curiosity
Mozjoukine29 May 2010
The missing episode of Huntington Hartford's three ep. FACE TO FACE is largely footage of Harry Morgan doing a Saroyan monologue in a jail cell with expressionist-distorted bars.

It is notable only as the last film of the great James Whale. He was the major contributor to the Universal horror cycle with his FRANKENSTEIN Films.

The film is recognizably his, though adding nothing to his status.

Whether it was a good idea to chop it out of the released film is speculative but it is a pity not to have it back there on disc, so than Whale (Ian McKellan in GODS & MONSTERS) fans can make up their own minds.

Of Note: Al Pacino's First Professional Play
verbusen10 April 2022
My mother, listed as Jeanine Hagerty, was in a stage version of this play at the Caffe Cino in 1963, NYC, birthplace of Off Off Broadway. This is also Al Pacino's first paid play. I was a prop in the play as I was a fetus, being born in late 1963, lol. I didn't know it was filmed also and with actors I watch often on TV, but I will now search for it to get a better idea what the dialog was like. 10 of 10 even though I never watched it for obvious personal reasons.
