I know there’s nothing lazier than celebrating these gentlemen’s birthday with the clip of them trading insults from the epilogue of House of the Long Shadows (major spoilers for one of the film’s plot twists below), but I’m supposed to be on a writing vacation this week, about which more later. If you want to see the whole film, it’s on ScreenPix as of this writing. It has its moments, but I personally am not a fan of the film overall; too many shots of short guy Desi Arnaz Jr standing halfway up the grand staircase so he can look 6’5″ Sir Christopher or 6’4″ Vincent in the eye, or Desi glaring at 6’ish Peter Cushing for passing too close to him when he’s not standing on his apple box, or, heck, too much shots of Desi flaunting his professional incompetence in the face of people three times his age and a hundred times his talent level…and that’s just in the scenes with the suave publisher played by war hero and forgotten Robin Hood portrayer Richard Todd.
