Right up to his death at age 88, and over a decade after his last screen appearance, his distinctive voice could be heard providing voice-overs for numerous commercials on Australian radio and TV.<br /><br />Glenn :)GlennMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08536558149189057537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316366186649546090.post-17130516287653198832011-10-13T23:22:38.709-07:002011-10-13T23:22:38.709-07:00G'day Clifton.

If you ever see the film Inspector General with Danny Kaye, he was quite funny. <br />Lifeboat also starred Black Widow Tallaulah Bankhead. <br />I had heard Kane took credit for everything. he kept his rights to Batman and always made money from DC. <br />Finger and Jerry Robinson should have had their share of the credit. In fact it was I believe Robinson who caused the creation of the Riddler, <br />when their was a rights problem over the Joker back in the 1950's. The Riddler came about when they were not able to use the Joker in the comics until the rights were settled.batscholarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316366186649546090.post-36858838888617372222011-10-13T16:07:19.380-07:002011-10-13T16:07:19.380-07:00One of Slezak's earliest and (for me) most mem...One of Slezak's earliest and (for me) most memorable performances in America film was as Willy, the young Nazi refugee in Hitchcock's "Lifeboat" (1942). it's a great performance that stirs fear, sympathy, anger, and finally horror—most of it conveyed by his face and body language, since his character spoke only German, no English.<br /><br />Joel: What's your take on the mysterious collaboration between Finger and Kane on BM? At the very least, why was Kane able to hog all the credit for the characters creation and execution? Siegel and Schuster shared eventual applause for "Superman," even though I read somewhere that they were dunned big-time by business sharks who took atrocious advantage of them.Clifton Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05235906805725431093noreply@blogger.com
