Munster, Go Home!

This is, um, The Wacky World of Dr. Morgus, made in 1961, which was, um, a regional film made in New Orleans specifically about the character of Dr. Morgus.

And you would si- you'd kind of see the format that developed for, for films like Munster Go Home and stuff like that.

It was just built around his character.

And, um, that was...

I mean, just in terms of, you know, a TV show, you know, a feature film version of a popular TV show coming out.

Now, the Munsters did it very closely after this with the Munsters Go Home and everything, but in terms of, you know, Batman just immediately capitalizing on the juggernaut that that first season was, then to come out with a film version of it very quickly, it's just amazing, and it just really just I mean, immediately just captures that lightning in a bottle of what was being done on the TV show.

Also, too, we need to look at it from a historical context, too.

In those days, I don't know why they did this.

All right, my fellow agents, that was our fantastic fight-filled movie of Saturday.

And tomorrow we are going to be reviewing a fright-filled movie, Munster Go Home.

Not too fright-filled, though.

But until that next assignment, this is X7 signing off and phasing out.

But he was also in ITV Television Playhouse, ITV Play of the Week, and Armchair Theater, and those three were British anthology television programs.

Now, my memory of Bernard Fox is I, I absolutely love him in the movie Munster, Go Home, where he played the father of Robert Pine's character.

Robert Pine's character was dating, dating Marilyn, and Bernard Fox played his father, who had a, kind of a family vendetta against the Munster clan, and he was just great.

It was a great movie.

Munster, Go Home is one of my favorite movies, and Fox is just the perfect guy when you want a tweedy, British squire kinda character.

He was awesome in it.

Bernard Fox passed December 14, 2016, at the, uh, ripe age of 89 years old in Van Nuys, California, USA.

And I just, uh, really marvel at, at how the creativity of these writers just brought back these endearing characters and just put them in these, uh, universes that just kind of tied into each other, and I thought that was really, really incredible and well done.

All 70 classic episodes have been restored by Inprint Films.

The set will also feature three movies, Munster Go Home, The Munsters Revenge, and Here Come The Munsters.

It's up for pre-order October 15th.

I might have to get that.
