Full day tour which went pretty smoothly despite the bus stalling at the heliport. We got the bus going again and Norman called me to tell me Chauncey is in the hospital with a pulmonary embolism. Erg! We’ve got calls in to Eric C and hope he can do it. Jim N also recommended someone. Aiyee! Last night went to NYMAS and met with Frank Ra, Mike J, Norman W and made the announcement about BULLARD on the Intrepid. Lots of people said they’d come.
MAN TRAP
During the Korean War, Matt (Jeffrey Hunter) saves the life of his buddy, Vince (David Janssen), who promises that someday he'll repay Matt by cutting him in on a million dollars. A talky, soap opera-y movie, directed by Edmond O'Brien, this is a pretty good movie with a fine performance as a villain by David Janssen. Stella Stevens is pretty good as the love interst. Matt's suburban neighbors are a noisy and intrusive bunch, given to parties and heavy drinking whenever we see them. It's fun to see future "Hogan's Heroes" star Bob Crane is one of them. They play a naughty game called "Braille," in which the wives lie on floors covered in sheets and the husbands have to use "braille" to determine which covered figure on the floor is their wife. This was pretty hot stuff for 1961.
