THE ADVENTURES OF BULLWINKLE AND ROCKY / Jay Ward - 1961

Welcome everbloody to Moldie Oldie Monday, here at The Dungeon! Tonight we gots our favorite cartoon characters from the sixties, Rocky and Bullwinkle. Producer/Writer Jay Ward knows 'funny.' He also had a great pile of twisted talent working with him, too! Thank you, Jay!!

Here's Jay with Bullwinkle, makes me think of Robert and Cecil! Hey, that pic looks a lot like our pal, Greg Goodsell... The one with the antlers, natcherly!!

The nutty, unforgettable music was done by three guys, Dennis Farnon and Fred and George Steiner, George is Fred's father.

So, let's bring in our lil' Monday helper, Rufus The Gnat, he'll be pushing that big red 'GO' button over there, and start our Eariffic Earclip a-rollin' along, directly to yer awaiting earifice!! Hit that button, RUFUS!!... THE SCROOCHED MOOSE!

Rocky and Bullwinkle are working on their secret rocket fuel formula when Moon Men, Gidney & Cloyd, pop in to stop Earth tourism to the Moon before it starts, or get 'scrooched!' I love the sound effect they use when Gidney & Cloyd appear and disappear! It'd make a great ringtone...

Boris and Natasha get their orders from Fearless Leader... "Keel Moose!" So, Boris cuts the rope holding the dangling safe that will then land on Bullwinkle who's walking on the sidewalk below.

Wait Boris, entire note says do not keel Moose!

...UH-OH!!

Boris makes it just in time to save Bullwinkle!

For days, the boys work feverishly baking, trying to duplicate grandma Moose's recipe, but nothing will expolde!

Swami Bin Boris and his lovely assistant show up, also trying to get their hands on the formula.

Why, I got too much brain power, I'm just a... (snap) "Yes, master!"

Bullwinkle tells Boris and Natasha 'everything' including his many childhood memories!

zzzzzz.. zzzzzzzz.. zzzzz.. zzzzz..

The Moon Men are the only ones that hear the formula when Bullwinkle gets around to that part.

Cloyd gets to do some more scrooching!

Tune in next Monday, same time, same channel, for another Moldie Oldie offering, here at The Dungeon!

Ghoulnight Everbloody!..

CATALINA CAPER - Various Artists - "Wild Adventure & International Intrigue" (1967)

Image
I searched and searched for a copy of "Catalina Caper," for a couple of years after reading that it had a cracking soundtrack! It's kind of like an extension of the beach blanket bongo scene as quasi-thriller, and I'm not sure what's older, the story or the kids, but I am sure they had a great time on the island over the course of a weekend with Director Lee "Rollem" Sholem at the helm! You know, it's like this, "Okay, somebody start a bonfire, now everybody start dancing, Roll camera! Yeah!! That's a take!! Smoke 'em if you got 'em! Next!!" Tommy Kirk has two roles, one as himself and the other as the girl he falls in love with! Tommy Kirk is in the the deepest part of the 'Dungeon Hall Of Fame' and never fails to deliver an all-star performance no matter what film he's in! Actually the girl is Ulla Strömstedt, the multi-lingual Swedish beauty probably best known for her role as Ulla Norstrand on the "Flipper...

ISLAND OF THE LOST - George Burns - "Angklung My Eye" (1967)

Image
More than just wacky, "Island Of The Lost" is more like The Young-Holt Trio's instrumental hit from the same magical year, 1967, because it's "Wack, Wack!" And why is it such a wild and weird production? Well, you can blame it all mostly on the guy in charge of everything, Mr. Ivan Tors! The MacRae family is getting ready to set sail for an anthropological expedition and adventure to the South Pacific!! Richard Greene is the philosophical pipe smokin' Sub-Genius Bob of a father, Josh MacRae!! From 1955 to 1960, Richard held the lead role in the very popular TV series "Robin Hood" for 143 episodes, and he also played the Nayland Smith role in a couple of "Fu Manchu" flicks! On the right is Luke Halpin as Stu MacRae, and sitting with him is family friend and fellow adventurer Irene Tsu as Judy Hawllani! Luke was Sandy Ricks in the original "Flipper" movies, and also in all 88 episodes of the "Flipper" TV series from...
