King of the Zombies is a 1941 American zombie comedy film directed by Jean Yarbrough and stars Dick Purcell, Joan Woodbury, and Mantan Moreland. The film was produced by Monogram Pictures, and was typical of its B films produced by the Pine-Thomas team. Along with flying scenes, the use of zany characters and slapstick efforts were juxtaposed with a spy and zombie story. - Wikipedia

@leebritnell2405 3 года назад

Manton Moreland was a fantastic comic actor,who both rose above and subverted the material he was given.He often had the valet/butler/scared assistant roles that were routinely dished out to Black actors,but he has a knowing quality to his acting,and furthermore he's bloody good.He's one of those actors younfind yourself concentrating on when he's in a group of people.

@corrado 2 года назад

yup, in fact he was usually billed 3rd or 4th but would end up stealing the scenes... He quickly became the main draw in a lot of movies.

@enidmarcos783 Год назад

Maybe this was mentioned, but I think it's worth repeating. Moe and Larry wanted Mantan to take Shemps place and the studio suits said no. Moe talked about how he and Larry were excited about working with him and to adapt his many excellent bits for the Stooges.

@albertwells8503 2 месяца назад

The studio said no to Mantan Moreland, but said yes to Joe Besser. Somebody make some sense out of that for me. Mantan would have fit right in with the Stooges comedy. Joe Besser’s fitting in was awkward at best. He was a capable comedian, but his comedy didn’t fit the Stooges at all.

🦆I was also born in 57. You could go to the movies ( Triple Feature ) for 50 Cents, a large Popcorn was 5 Cents, The Only size, and a bag of candy was another 5 Cents. Gasoline was under 50 cents a gallon. Anyone could rent a house without presenting a Credit Card for a background check. America was manufacturing high quality products that did not break for very reasonable prices. In 1967 the Base cost of a NEW Corvette Convertible $4,084.00
