Best TCM -- now pay the actors!
The best version of them all. You know the story, you know the plot...so no point wasting words on that.The docs are terrific. Kudos to Dark Sky and all the folks who worked so hard to make this excellent version happen. Wonderful to see Marilyn Burns, Edwin Neal, Gunnar, Bill Vail, the late Robert Burns, Paul Partain, Jim Siedow... We love these people who worked so hard to make this great horror film happen.What I would like to know is why do they keep getting short-changed, money-wise? Whose fault is it now that these people are STILL/TO THIS DAY not getting paid? Why didn't the makers of the docs go into this aspect of it? Who currently owns the rights to this version of TCM? Who is it? Hooper? Kim Henkel? Who the hell gets most of the money--and why aren't the actors (who are still living) not being compensated? I don't understand this at all.Where is the justice? How can Hooper (and everyone else who ripped these people off) be allowed to get away with this?Am glad that the late, great Robert Burns (art director) pursued legal action in order to get paid. I have been saying this for years, but without him and the work he did on this film--there would not have been a TCM, no matter how interesting the script or how effective the acting.
