I never a miss an old movie that the wonderful Mantan Moreland is in, never, and watch them over and over since I was a little girl in the 1940's. He was really something special. Miss you Mantan ...

It's such a shame that did not gain approval. I haven't seen the teamwork he did with Frankie Darro, but will now start looking for them...so many movies and so little time.Moira Finniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626493736940699514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189896360230007229.post-67935136812018809632010-02-16T07:25:50.411-08:002010-02-16T07:25:50.411-08:00Thanks, Dawn.

Great article about Mr. Moreland. Like you,...Kevin,<br />Great article about Mr. Moreland. Like you, I remember his parts on the Chan films and laughed at a lot of his bits. I especially remember the bit with Ben Carter in “The Scarlet Clue” (1945).<br /><br />I thought it was fascinating that Mr. Moreland was considered for the Three Stooges role. A pity he didn't get it. <br /><br />Consistently great blog, by the way.Archdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00684864441038523854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189896360230007229.post-63544881697849697032010-02-15T11:26:11.707-08:002010-02-15T11:26:11.707-08:00Thanks for reading, Kim.

It's interesting to note that he was popular enough to be listed second in the cast (after Sidney Toler) in some of the Chan pictures. I had no idea that he was considered for The Three Stooges!Classic Movie Blog Associationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06702094253635593581noreply@blogger.com
