Celluloid Scans: 1960 Kenner Give-A-Show Projector

























Maverick, Popeye, Brutus, Olive Oyl, Oswald, Curly, Larry& Moe...
Scans from the 1960 Kenner Give-A-Show Projector, which was basically a glorified blue flashlight that magnified still images from celluloid strip comics onto any flat surface.  Though I've had this toy for about 10 years, I never bothered to look closely at the "show" inside until now.  It seems that despite the toy's age, the slide strips (whose images are seen here totally unretouched) were in fantastic shape. 
BONUS:  The "Maverick" actually looks like James Garner!

1966: Mr. Buddwing On Vinyl

A recent eBay win: a clean copy of Kenyon Hopkins' 1966 soundtrack to Delbert Mann's film entitled Mr. Buddwing. I caught part of this film on TCM a few months ago and enjoyed what I saw of James Garner, Jean Simmons, Suzanne Pleshette and Angela Lansbury tremendously. Then, of course, there is the music... and this gorgeous LP cover.
