For my last post in the Boris Karloff Blogathon, I decide to just share some photos of karloff that I really like. There are many traditional portraits of the legendary actor that I also like, but wanted to stick with the more playful aspect of Karloff that dominated my other entries. Not all of these are lighthearted moments such as the one of Boris clowning around with his co-stars on the set of "Tower of London" or "Comedy of Terrors," but still show the man behind the monsters he's come to be associated with.
Thanks for the pics, pal. For some reason, I can't get the Ralph Kramden quote from the classic 39 episode "Here comes the Bride," which I'm sure you're familiar with. The one where Ralph compares his in-laws to Boris, warning his future brother-in-law "Boris Karloff seems nice when he's dancing on the Red Skelton show-you ever see 'Frankenstein?' That's the REAL Karloff!"
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm sure I goofed that quote a bit.
