He even returned to Hollywood in the late 1990s, and did some more acting for about 5 years, now bald as an egg. He comes by his exotic look honestly: he had a Turkish father and a Czechoslovakian mother, and was, by birth, Viennese. I spoke to him on the telephone once, back in 1994, when he was living in Paris. We were trying to locate him for a radio stunt involving old 1940s stars, and word reached him. He called me, but he wasn't going to come back to California then. We had a lvely chat.<br /><br />The Claude Rains <i>Phantom</i> was such a hit, and won a couple Oscars, that they hurried this into production as an almost-remake of <i>Phantom</i>. At least they didn't reuse Nelson Eddy.<br /><br />The title still sounds like a porn movie.Douglas McEwannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825429179234380868.post-11848187929081597452011-08-25T10:06:51.053-07:002011-08-25T10:06:51.053-07:00Nothing made today has this kind of insane visual ...Nothing made today has this kind of insane visual appeal. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how long it must have taken to design and create all of those costumes and outfits.<br /><br />It truly was a different world of movie making back then.Kev D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13557162668726460610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825429179234380868.post-48771258694276530912011-08-24T22:40:37.474-07:002011-08-24T22:40:37.474-07:00the colors, the colors! one day i will see this fi...the colors, the colors! one day i will see this film but not today...Prof. Grewbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132543249418576650noreply@blogger.com
