NOSFERATU (1922) was released 104 years ago.

It was made without securing the rights to Dracula, the estate of Bram Stoker then sued the filmmakers & won a court order requiring all copies to be destroyed. Its survival is one of cinema’s great accidents.

It's 31 years ago to the day that this was broadcast - for my money one of the most joyous bits of TV ever committed to celluloid.

It is, of course, Mr Sting's appearence on The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer.

In 1967, Tony Curtis felt unsatisfied with the recent movies he had starred in. He though his career was losing momentum & needed a new challenge. "The Boston Str@ngler" (1968) provided him the perfect opportunity. He had heard that the producer was looking at many actors to play the title role irrespective of the popularity. Richard Fleischer also wanted Tony Curtis to star in the movie.

However, Darryl F. Zanuck didn't think Curtis was right for the part. He thought Curtis was too recognisable to play the character. One day, Curtis took some putty and built himself a big nose, changed his eyelashes, eyebrows and hair. He took photos of himself with his 35mm camera —profiles and front views — and had two dozen eight-by-tens printed up on grainy paper.

He gave them to Richard Fleischer, who went to Zanuck's office, threw the pictures on the table, and said, “Here’s your strangler.” Zanuck said, “Yeah, that guy could be him. I like that look—who is it?” , Fleischer replied, “Tony!”. He was then cast in the picture.

I don’t want Clint Eastwood to stop acting or making films. Even if he’s 96- even if he’s given us a lifetime of great moments- I don’t want it to end. Eastwood’s handled his career with grace & class for decades. I can’t understate his contributions to this art form. Legend.
