Bela Lugosi

The Mystery of the Mary Celeste (1935)

Anton Lorenzen (Lugosi) at Mary Celeste's wheel. DPs: Eric Cross & Geoffrey Faithfull.

[A favourite] Bela Lugosi film*

“No, I never left the wheel; not for a moment.”

– Anton Lorenzen

A post-Dracula Lugosi demonstrates that he's more than the cursed aristocrat. An efficient early Hammer production, made just a year after their founding.

 

* the Bales 2025 Film Challenge for October is horror-themed as opposed to date-based, and is all about favourites. Expect non-horror and films I believe to be relevant instead.

First Man Into Space (1959)

A newspaper headline for February 28, 1958 reading THE HIGHEST MAN IN THE WORLD. DP: Geoffrey Faithfull.

“The conquest of new worlds always makes demands of human life. And there will always be men who will accept the risk.”
