I Speak To John DiLeo On His Fab New Book..There Are No Small Parts..100 Outstanding Performances With Screen Time Of Ten Minutes Or Less..What If It’s Ten Minutes Plus 5 seconds…The Horror..

I talk to my pal John DiLeo. His new book is wonderful. It's amazing how little time these performers had on screen, but they make HUGE contributions to films. WE did about ten...starting with Elsa Lanchester in her appearance (and it wasn't even close to ten minutes and five seconds) in The Bride Of Frankenstein.

Part 2 Author Dan Van Neste talks about his book The Magnificent Heel.The Life And Films Of Ricardo Cortez. Ricardo IRL seemed a bit of a heel and cad..Say it aint so..

I could not find this really big shew anywhere. Finally I got t off my old computer. YAY!. I give Dan lots of credit for this book. Ricardo was incredibly private, very unliked by most who acted with him and a very bad husband. I enjoyed the book and was surprised that he was a heel. Lets be fair...not always..but..
