I don't think I've ever seen James Mason in anything from when he was young. I should look for some of those! I LOVE his voice. There's something about the way he talks ... mmmmmmm. The Hellboy DVD came with a sort of impressionistic animation of "The Telltale Heart," which he narrated splendidly.
Harryhausen is a quiet, funny, kind person and he reminds me of a high school biology teacher.
How WONDERFUL!!!!
t is not everyday we get to meet someone we deeply admire and when we do meet them, there is no guarantee that the person is going to be decent to you.
That is so true. I'm so glad to hear you & Husband had such a great experience.
I think the first Harryhausen film I saw - or realized I saw, if you know what I mean - was the old version of Jason and the Argnoauts. I watched it to see Gary Raymond from Rat Patrol in an itty-bitty loincloth, but I was amazed at the effects, which were not just impressive but really creative.
