I’ll bet you can’t name him. He has a connection with actor below.
Some of you will recognise him. Both actors are known for the voices, not their faces. Both were employed by Hanna-Barbera Productions in the 1960s.
This second actor is Alan Reed, the man who played Fred Flintstone. The first actor is Mike Road, who was Race Bannon on Jonny Quest. They both appeared in the anti-porn film “Printed Poison” (1965).
Road’s hard-boiled-detective-ish delivery is perfect for this strident picture, which must be considered pretty innocent in the face of what’s available on the internet today. It was based on a pamphlet circulated in 1964 by the Citizens for Decent Literature. We’ve checked newspapers and found some showings. One was at a meeting of the Huntington Park Knights of Columbus Council 2466 in December 1965 (“no persons under 18 years old will be admitted”), one of a number of Councils that either screened the film or made it available for other groups. Another was in March 1966 at a meeting sponsored by the 32nd Congressional District Republican Women Federated in the Long Beach, Calif., area.
Veteran radio actor Sam Edwards is here as a porn magazine seller, along with John Doucette as a District Attorney. Unfortunately, there are no credits. The stock music really adds to the atmosphere.
*Gasp!* Teenage boys like to ogle nekkid wimmen--Who knew?
ReplyDeleteThis looks to be a follow-up to Perversion for Profit from two years earlier, and likewise funded by Citizens for Decent Literature. TCM usually runs that film once or twice a year, presumably for its camp value.
Yeah, TCJ, it appears some community groups screened both in the same day.
DeleteGeryon, eh? The smut peddler shares his name with a three-headed giant of Greek myth, the grandson of Poseidon and Medusa and the son of Chrysaor and an ocean nymph. Hercules had to steal Geryon's cattle as one of his Twelve Labours. Geryon's sister Echidna was half woman, half snake, and he had a two-headed dog that was brother to Cerberus.
ReplyDeleteCitizens for Decent Literature was founded in Cincinnati by financier Charles Keating, a devout Roman Catholic who would later go to jail for fraud and racketeering in the savings and loan scandal of the 1980s.
" Larson " was Anthony Eisley with credits on everything from " The Wild, Wild West ", " Cannon ", " The FBI ", " Mannix " " Dragnet " ," Outer Limits " to Sci Fi cheapies like Roger Corman's " The Wasp Woman ". .. John Doucette, classically trained actor and baritone voice to match, found a lot of work in his early years on the wrong side of The Lone Ranger and Roy Rogers' guns. At times with that hard boiled style, and voice, it seems like Mike Road *was* Race Bannon. Yes, the stock music adds a lot to this.
