The Brothers Rico (1957)
"Okay, okay, so nobody's blaming you! Let's just say something happened way back, huh? So maybe I am gonna die. But, Eddie, you've got even bigger troubles. You're gonna live."

Barbara Stanwyck packs 'Forty Guns' on Criterion Channel
Barbara Stanwyck packs ‘Forty Guns’ on Criterion Channel
There was no director like Samuel Fuller, the former journalist, pulp writer and soldier who became a director of energetic genre pictures with mad passion and driving energy. He was America’s kino-fist with a tabloid sensibility and his 1957 western Forty Guns (1957) is his purest blast of his cinematic thunder and melodramatic excess. Barbara Stanwyck stars as the “high riding woman with a…

Peter Breck and Hari Rhodes in Shock Corridor (Samuel Fuller, 1963) Cast: Peter Breck, Constance Towers, Hari Rhodes, James Best, Gene Evans, Larry Tucker, Bill Zuckert, Paul Dubov, John Matthews, Chuck Robertson, Philip Ahn. Screenplay: Samuel Fuller. Cinematography: Stanley Cortez. Sam Fuller's Shock Corridor is the kind of raw, nightmarishly energetic film that cinéastes love but more classically oriented movie lovers often find ridiculous or repellent. And sure enough, there's plenty to ridicule, starting with the film's premise that schizophrenia is a contagious disease. (This is not a film for people who take mental illness and its treatment seriously.) Johnny Barrett (Peter Breck) is a hotshot reporter lusting after a Pulitzer Prize -- "Pulitzer fever" is, as anyone who has ever worked in a newsroom knows, a real and untreatable illness -- who pretends to be in love with his sister so he can get committed to a mental hospital where he plans to solve the recent murder of an inmate. He doesn't have a sister, however, so he persuades his girlfriend, Cathy (Constance Towers), who works as a stripper, to play the part. Cathy doesn't much want to go along with the plan, worrying that he can't handle the stress of constant contact with the inmates and may go mad himself. But she somewhat abruptly decides to go along with the idea, which is endorsed by Johnny's editor. Once inside, Johnny befriends three inmates who actually witnessed the murder. The murder case, however, is just a MacGuffin -- a plot device that allows Fuller to make symbolic statements about the malaise of America in the 1960s, afflicted by the Cold War, racism, and the nuclear arms buildup. One of the witnesses, Stuart (James Best), is a Korean War vet who briefly turned communist and was imprisoned; he now thinks he is the Confederate general J.E.B. Stuart. Another, Trent (Hari Rhodes), is a young Black man who was the first of his race to attend a Southern university; he was harassed into a breakdown and now thinks he's the grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan -- he steals pillowcases off of beds to make hoods. And Boden (Gene Evans) is a Nobel Prize-winning scientist who helped develop the atomic bomb and is so laden with guilt that he has regressed to the mental age of 6. Johnny's friendship helps each of them break through to brief moments of sanity during which they provide clues that help solve the murder before reverting to their disturbed states. But Cathy's fears about what might happen to Johnny also come true, so at the end, as one of the doctors says, "An insane mute will win the Pulitzer Prize." This is grand exploitation B-movie stuff, treated with a mixture of low-budget quickie filmmaking and actual artistry, but it doesn't quite deserve to be taken as seriously as some of its admirers do. There are too many glaring continuity gaffes: In one scene, the closeups, lighted by the fine cinematographer Stanley Cortez, have a deep-shadowed expressionist look, but when the film cuts to an establishing shot the faces are conventionally lighted. There's a ridiculous scene in which Johnny wanders into the women's ward and is attacked by a group of what he calls, in voiceover, "Nymphos!" Six or eight women knock him down and swarm over him, but it's not entirely clear what they're up to. Later, we see Johnny with his face heavily bandaged as if they had bitten or scratched him, but after the bandages come off there are no visible bruises or scabs. The performances are mostly good, especially Rhodes as Trent, but Towers's part is a thankless one. She spends most of the film histrionically worrying about Johnny, but she also has to bring off a clunkily choreographed striptease scene that begins with her face completely muffled by a large feather boa, making her look in closeup like Big Bird's butt. In short, Shock Corridor is fascinating personal filmmaking, which is why it has an enormous cult following. But if you're of a conservative or conventional bent, you should know what you're getting into.

Day the World Ended
Tumblr media
With the rise of drive-in theaters and the discovery of teen audiences in the 1950s, low-budget science fiction and horror films flooded the market. A lot of them are only watchable for camp value, but Roger Corman’s stand out. Sure, the low budget is easy to spot in his use of foam-rubber monsters, furniture and other set elements that crop up from film to film and stunt men who look nothing like the actors they’re doubling. Yet there’s enough intelligence there to make the whackadoodle concepts create some kind of logic. Corman didn’t have the money to shoot from a lot of different angles, but the ones he chose were usually the right ones. And though he rarely took the time to direct his actors, there are always a few performers who stand out by sheer force of personality if nothing else. That’s all true with the first of his many horror films, DAY THE WORLD ENDED (1955, Prime, Tubi, Plex, YouTube).
As with many of his films, there’s a salable title and a monster that’s kept out of sight until almost the end, partly to build suspense and partly because, let’s face it, they often look rather silly. This time, the survivors of a nuclear war (described in voice-over by Chet Huntley) converge on an isolated home surrounded by lead-bearing mountains. The owner (Paul Birch) is a scientist who worked on early nuclear tests and has set the house up as a shelter for himself, his daughter (Lori Nelson) and her fiancé (Corman, who’s only seen in a photo). He’s not ready to house geologist Richard Denning, gangster Mike (billed as “Touch”) Connors, stripper Adele Jergens, prospector Raymond Hatton and first-stage mutant Paul Dubov. Tensions rise as Connors keeps trying to take over, and something large and radioactive lurks in the valley.
As preposterous as the film’s approach to radioactive mutation is Lou Rusoff’s screenplay develops the idea with something resembling dramatic logic. He plants information from the start that will come to fruition when the monster appears. And though the critter sometimes looks silly, it’s well mimed by its designer, Paul Blaisdell. Most of the cast is serviceable, though Nelson, just having left the more nurturing environment at Universal Pictures, seems a little lost playing the ingenue. Jergens, however, is pretty darned good. The script has her alternately attacking Connors and throwing herself at him, which she somehow manages to make work — a little touch of Strindberg at the world’s end. In her best scene, she reenacts her strip routine without taking anything off. She gets one particularly cogent line about the audience, “I love the sound of them breathing.” At the end she collapses in tears against a wall, sharing the frame with a mask of comedy. Sure, it’s cheesy, but that shot has more personality and more of a viewpoint than you’d get from most genre films of the era.

The Crimson Kimono (1959)
"He didn't mean it that way!"
"You don't have to mean it or say it, it's there all the time."
"It's what you think is behind every word and every look."
"You've got to wear my shoes to know what I'm talking about."
"But I do know."
"How could you know? Honey, how could you? You can't feel for me unless you are me. Take a good look, Chris. Do I look different to you than I did yesterday?"
"Joe."
"Did my face change?"
"Don't say that."
"I've got to say it! I never felt this in the army, in the police. Maybe it's five thousand years of blood behind me, busting to the front. For the first time, I feel different. I taste it right through every bone inside me. For the first time, I catch myself trying to figure out who I am. I was born here. I'm American. I feel it and live it and love it, but down deep, what am I? Japanese-American? American-Japanese? Nisei? What label do I live under, Chris? You tell me."

Fuller was always concerned with tackling bigotry#and hate with his art‚ and his heart is evidently in the right place here; but i can't deny that it's uncomfortable to find this film#suggesting that hey‚ perhaps a lot of the oppression and distrust Shigeta perceives is actually in his head‚ maybe his best white pal#actually is a good egg and he should cut him some slack. idk‚ it's undeniably a progressive film but in places it backtracks before making#the really big statements. perhaps a non white director or writer would have had input that might have helped iron out some of the clunkier#moments in the script. still this is a vital and energetic film‚ and Shigeta revelatory in a powerhouse performance#forgive the overlong quote but i didn't want to cut any of it; probably The Moment of the film and one of Fuller's best bits of writing

PAUL DUBOV
October 10, 1918
Tumblr media
Paul Dubov was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1918. He became a busy character actor appearing on radio, television, and films. His first film was Little Tough Guy (1938), one of the Dead End Kids movies. From 1942, he was a Universal contract player and was often found in the films of Samuel Fuller. He was seen on TV for the first time in April 1952 with an episode of “Gang Busters”. On radio, he was the second person to portray the title character on "The Adventures of Frank Race" (1949-1950). 
Tumblr media
Although Dubov never made a film with Lucille Ball, he did appear (uncredited) with William Frawley (Fred Mertz) in We’ve Never Been Licked (1943). 
Tumblr media
In October 1952 Dubov appeared on “I Love Lucy” in “The Handcuffs” (S2;E5). Dubov played Jerry, Ricky’s agent, a role usually played by Jerry Hausner. It is unclear whether this is supposed to be the same character and if so - why Hausner (who played the character subsequently) did not appear. 
This puts Dubov in a small group of actors who played “I Love Lucy” characters originated by another performer:
Little Ricky - originated by John Michael Ganzer, but played by the Simmons Twins, the Mayer Twins, and Keith Thibodeaux. 
Marion Strong - originated by Margie Liszt, assumed by Shirley Mitchell.
Charlie Appleby - originated by Hy Averback, assumed by George O’Hanlon.
Grace Munson - originated by Hazel Pierce, assumed by Ruth Brady. 
Tumblr media
In 1958, Dubov was seen on “The Westinghouse-Desilu Playhouse” in “The Night The Phone Rang” by Aaron Spelling starring Eddie Albert. Executive Producer Desi Arnaz introduced the story. 
Tumblr media
In 1959, "The Westinghouse-Desilu Playhouse” presented a two-part pilot for “The Untouchables.” In the pilot, Dubov played Jack Rossman. When the show was picked up for series, Dubov returned for three episodes, playing various characters from 1961 to 1962.  
Tumblr media
In 1960, Dubov was back with the Ricardos, this time as Crandall, Ernie Kovacs’ chauffeur in “Lucy and the Mustache” (LDCH S3;E3). In the episode, Lucy disguises herself as Crandall, who has a mustache, just like his boss. This was the last time America would see Lucy, Ricky, Fred, and Ethel.  Coincidentally, in September 1958, Dubov appeared on an installment “The Dinah Shore Chevy Show” in which Ernie Kovacs made a cameo appearance from the audience. Kovacs’ wife Edie Adams was co-hosting. 
Tumblr media
From 1959 to 1961 Dubov played the recurring character of Michel on Desilu’s “The Ann Sothern Show” in six episodes. Lucille Ball played Lucy Ricardo on the series in October 1959, although the episode did not include Dubov’s Michel. 
Tumblr media
From 1958 to 1962, Dubov appeared on “The Danny Thomas Show” seven times as 5 different characters. On his first two episodes he played a Maitre d’. In 1967 he played a Maitre d’ on “That Girl,” a series starring Thomas’ daughter, Marlo. “The Danny Thomas Show” was filmed on the Desilu lot and in late 1958 and early 1959, the Williams’ and the Ricardos’ made reciprocal appearances on each others’ shows. 
Tumblr media
In 1963 Dubov married screenwriter Gwen Bagni with whom he created the 1965 TV series "Honey West". In 1966, Dubov acted in an episode of the series. 
Tumblr media
In 1979, Dubov was nominated for an Emmy Award for writing the mini-series Backstairs at the White House. It lost to The Jericho Mile.  Dubov died 10 days later, on September 20, 1979, at age 60 of cancer.
