... Mostly ditto. I saw your post but had no comment. I've seen all the movies but didn't like them much. -- Dave Brockman aka Big Dave - http://www.ztac.net/...
... I mostly agree with you. I preferred PM when Perry and Della were svelte and young. Even toward the end of the TV series, this was *not* the case. The...
After posting some info. on S. John Launer, I thought it would be interesting to research some of the other "Judges" of PM. Here's what I came up with, in...
I'll agree that nobody does it better than William Hopper. I started watching Perry Mason when I was kid 8-10 when our local tv station ran them after the ...
I posted within the newsgroup, so I really wasn't sure that it was received. Before I had posted from within my e-mail. I understand that many fans don't like...
I wrote my comments about an elderly Perry Mason before reading your post. But I agree. When Perry, Paul, and Della were young and svelte, they were most ...
I personally think that much of our prejudices and preferences regarding Perry is that we like him as he was when *we* were younger. Those were our formative...
You left off several, including Frank Biro and Barney Biro. I believe they were brothers...but can find *no* supporting evidence for this. Frank was a judge...
"I personally think that much of our prejudices and preferences regarding Perry is that we like him as he was when *we* were younger." I would say I liked...
Ha. "... when *we* were younger." That's good. Guys, come on! "Young and svelte?!?" By today's standards only Barbara Hale and William Talman could be...
The older Burr is still Mason, but they went on with the movies way too long. I don't think that ESG would have approved of an obviously frail Mason. I know...
Hi everyone, Even with their pblms, I am glad the movies were made...with the exception of 2 (no need to name them). It was good to see RB and BH together...
The judge I like to see is Morris Ankrum, because he seems so out of character to me. You see, I loved Hopalong Cassidy as a kid and a few years ago began to ...
ESG's conception of Perry Mason is somewhat at odds with how he was presented in the PM movies of 1985-93. By then, of course, Raymond Burr "owned" the role...
Becky, I remember the scene, but I can remember the name. I'll keep it in mind and see what I can dig up. For whatever reason, the relationship elements that ...
Speaking as a recently turned 41, I AM YOUNG! ... ____________________________________________________________________________________ Everyone is raving about...
You know that's possible why I can relate to the movies as well as the series. I really became interested in the series in my 20's right when the movies were...
This is an idea that I've held for a long time. A 1930's or even 1950's version of Perry Mason filmed today. The problem would be one of recognition, since ...
I think you're right, Erica. I wonder, based on what I know of ESG, why the movies were even permitted in the first place. I'm still glad they made the movies,...
... Erle Stanley Gardner died in 1970. So by the time the movies were being made, ESG could *not* say anything. I do *not* know who inherited the rights to PM,...
I was under the impression that ESG heirs owned the rights to Perry Mason and eventually said that when Raymond Burr died, no other actor could play PM. I...
The older Burr is still Mason, but they went on with the movies way too long. I don't think that ESG would have approved of an obviously frail Mason. I know...
I am the same age as Della Street is in the Mason books. Coincidentally, Raymond Burr and Barbara Hale are the exact ages of my grandparents. I think that...
... RIP029421 - ESTATE OF ERLE STANLEY GARDNER Looking at the actions file on this case, I suspect that the rights are held by a trust. We need a copy of ESG's...
As ESG got older, his presumed alter-ego (Mason) didn't seem to. He could have let the character age if he had wanted to. However, I do think that ESG's later...
... - ... Actually, I left out about 40. My list was just the 10 most often used actors (8 or more appearances). I added Tom Harkness (tied with Sydney Smith...
If you are ever down in Austin, Texas, go by and visit the Harry Ransom Center at the Univerisity of Texas. It is a "museum" of sorts, and contains many items....
