Pierce, and he told me that the "scarfing down on a fried chicken leg" scene was written by him from a personal experience of his, at the urging of producer Earle Lyon.

His favorite part of working on this film was meeting Michael Ansara again, as they had studied together at Ben Bard's acting school in LA several years earlier, working in a Shakespeare play.Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825429179234380868.post-85829637024750173802015-11-11T15:59:56.027-08:002015-11-11T15:59:56.027-08:00I need to make another attempt at finding my copy!...I need to make another attempt at finding my copy!EEGAH!!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825429179234380868.post-85789177938388892262015-11-11T14:44:32.744-08:002015-11-11T14:44:32.744-08:00The LP by the way is Peppermint Twist (to cash in ...The LP by the way is Peppermint Twist (to cash in on the Joey Dee hit no doubt) on Crown CLP5249 (from 1962), with a pretty strong track listing, but probably came with common noisy budget label pressing...

It wasn't a comedy, but he was pretty funny in it.<br /><br />Along with everything lese, he was an astrologer, publishing a lot of "I CHING" books.
