Re: The Greatest Suicides on Film

I've always felt one of the more interesting and unusual means a character willingly ends his life is shown at the end of the film 'The Light That Failed' (1939).

Re: Conquest of a Franchise, or, "Humans see, Humans do"

Dargo, would not be surprised to read that you'd attended the following CONQUEST contest to promote the 1972 installment: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/81/2d/ac/812dacf5cd52ec286788732f0edfb82c.jpg Heck, wouldn't be surprised if you'd subbed for Gary Owens during some of that day!! Oh yeah! I was there...

Don't want to derail this much further, but to answer your question, it appears it was held at Salinas airport, per this article... https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-californian-salinas-race-track/132773645/ Thanks for this, Tex.

Re: A Glimpse of Golden Age Hollywood

T C M's screening of " THE FIRST AUTO " last night reminded me of the Riverside International Raceway as Charles Emmett Mack is said to have been killed in an automobile accident enroute to a Riverside racetrack during filming of the 1927 movie. I wondered if there was going to be expound...
