Greg PetersonHOST
Carlos Vargas, four outs out of the bullpen squirrels.
Greg PetersonHOST
And then Andres Munoz, squirrels sending.
Keri Leigh MerrittGUEST
And they wrote the play originally to be similar to Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, very simple, small cast.
Keri Leigh MerrittGUEST
And then Jose Ferrer came in and kind of took the reins and took control from her and completely changed the play and did include the lynching at the end, which she did not want in the play because she thought that everyone would be concentrated on the lynching instead of what she was really, the message she was really trying to get across, which is that, you know, racism doesn't just hurt Black people.
Keri Leigh MerrittGUEST
It also hurts white people in really profound ways and really psychologically, psychologically really profound ways.
Keri Leigh MerrittGUEST
She makes Tracy, the white man, crippled, physically crippled, as a metaphor for his social and emotional arrested development.
John CrowtherGUEST
He knew that a m- a, a good actor working with him brought everything up.
John CrowtherGUEST
Uh, I remember in Evil That Men Do, we had José Ferrer, and he loved working with José.
David Del ValleHOST
Well, and José had been a proper director, aside from being a great actor-
John CrowtherGUEST
A director of, of-
Adam HurseyHOST
Ten years, I guess it was 1970.
Adam HurseyHOST
And for some reason, Jose Ferrer is in this movie.
Adam HurseyHOST
Why is Jose Ferrer in this movie?
Sam PanicoHOST
I always wonder that, too.
Sam PanicoHOST
Like, why is this actor that was big 30 years ago? Yeah, like, why are they the draw for us? But they are.
Sam PanicoHOST
It's just, I love when he shows up.
Sam PanicoHOST
I mean, I love Jose Ferrer.
Sam PanicoHOST
Like, it's great.
MikeHOST
So this is from 1977.
MikeHOST
He played opposite Reggie Na- Reggie Nalder and Jose Ferrer as a descendant of Dracula who is being stalked by a vampiric Doberman Pinscher.
AliciaHOST
[laughs]
JohnHOST
Mm.
JohnHOST
And although he did, to some extent, follow the model Graydon Clark used for his low-budget horror movies, shoot locally, keep the number of production days low, and hire actors willing to take a smaller paycheck so long as they didn't have to travel and they knew they'd be in and out in only a couple of weeks, he didn't exactly get the same kind of big names Clark did.
JohnHOST
The only actor who would've had any real name recognition at the time of this movie's release was Jose Ferrer, an Academy Award winner for 1951's Cyrano, who needed some extra cash due to some tax issues and who wound up taking on a lot of extra work in this era that he might otherwise have turned down.
JohnHOST
He is, in fact, a Half Price Horror alumnus for his role as Mayor Lane in 1983's The Being, another movie that shot around this time even though it came out much later.
JohnHOST
But the main characters are Joyce Russell, as played by Lori Lethin, and her little brother Timmy, as played by Casey Martell.
Kevin WoodGUEST
A series regular on NBC's Ellery Queen, with Elvis in Elvis' attempt at a series acting... role in Flaming Star in 1960.
Kevin WoodGUEST
He was Doubting Thomas in 1965's The Greatest Story Ever Told, along with huge names like Max von Sydow, Charlton Heston, Dorothy McGuire, Claude Rains, Jose Ferrer, Angela Lansbury, Sidney Poitier, Shelley Winters, and John Wayne.
Kevin WoodGUEST
He was in the 1971 classic Vanishing Point, and tons of pod faves we mention every week like The Six Million Dollar Man and The Twilight Zone.
Kevin WoodGUEST
Fun fact, like several other guest stars, he studied with Lee Strasberg.
Greg PetersonHOST
Andres Munoz has been better ever since a shaky start to the season.
Greg PetersonHOST
But still, for the likes of he, Serenity Dominguez, Edward Bazzardo, Jose Ferrer, they're giving you over a 360 ERA.
Greg PetersonHOST
So that's been a bit of an issue.
Greg PetersonHOST
Carlos Vargas has been relatively okay, but a small sample size because he's been injured throughout much of the season.
