Moving to Raspur

Done with Babylon, I think I'm going to move to Raspur

What's Up Tiger Lily


I was invited there by the one and only Grand Exalted High Macha of Raspur

High Macha Of Rashpur: Good afternoon. I am the Grand Exalted High Macha of Raspur, a non-existent but real-sounding country.
Phil Moscowitz: Uh-huh.
High Macha Of Rashpur: Yes. We're on a waiting list. As soon as there's an opening on the map, we're next.

Discovering Fractured Flickers

After not watching it for years I finally found a copy of What's Up Tiger Lily. It's truly Woody Allen showing off his comedic and cinematic excellence. The truth is I fell in love with Mie Hama. The truth is I saw some Armenian-ness in her Japanese physical features, but that's a different story. While the credits aren't helpful... well I don't know about the closing credits because my attention was elsewhere. The internet helped me find Mie Hama... but the reason for this post is another discovery... Fractured Flickers

Fractured Flickers was produced by Jay Ward. Ward went on to also create Rocky & Bullwinkle and we all know that the character of Boris Badenov was inspired by some of the performances by Akim Tamiroff (but that's a story for another time)
To cut a long story short... Fractured Flickers was program that featured comedy redubbing of silent films and each episode also featured a celebrity guest whom the host Hans Conried interviewed.
Below seem to be the only three clips I've been able to find online... maybe somebody out there can help me find more. I even read somewhere that the show should be in the Public Domain because of copyright conflicts. The first one is the one and only Rod Serling discussing Twilight Zone and other oddities. The second one is of Barbara Eden, I just like her comedic timing in the clip. Last of the three is the opening credit sequence and we see hints of Rocky & Bullwinkle and some fun at Walter Cronkites expense.
