Wallace Ford
Oyuncu · 1898 – 1966 · Bolton, Lancashire, England, UK
Wallace Ford (12 February 1898 – 11 June 1966) was an English-born naturalized American stage and screen actor. Usually playing wise-cracking characters, he combined a tough but friendly-faced demeanor with a small but powerful, stocky physique. Born Samuel Jones Grundy in Bolton, Lancashire, England, he spent his childhood in a Dr. Barnardo's home. At an early age he was adopted by a farmer from Manitoba, Canada, where he was ill treated. About age eleven, Ford ran away and did odd jobs, later becoming an usher in a theatre. Following his discharge from the Army after WWI, he became a vaudeville actor in a stock company before performing on Broadway. He started on a film career when Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer gave him a part in the film Possessed (1931) and went on to appear in over 200 films, including 13 directed by John Ford. Wallace Ford is buried in an unmarked grave in Culver City, California's Holy Cross Cemetery. From Wikipedia.

Film7.5GerilimGizemCharlie amcanın, akrabalarını ziyaret etmek için sakin Santa Rosa kasabasına gelmesi, Hitckcock'un bu en ilginç ve gerilim dolu yolculuklarından biri olan filminin temelini oluşturur. Joseph Cotton, Philadelphia'dan Kaliforniya'ya ülkenin dört bir yanını dolaşıp, kanundan bir adım önde giden, yakışıklı ve çekici Charles amcayı canlandırıyor. Ama kısa süre içinde, başlangıçta hiçbir şeyin farkında olmayan adaşı, "Kuzen Genç Charlie" (Teresa Wright) amcasının, Neşeli dul katili olduğundan kuşkulanmaya başlayacak ve aralarında ölümcül bir kedi-fare kovalamacısı başlayacaktır. Hitchcock'un kişisel olarak en çok beğendiği filmlerden biri olan Shadow of a Doubt, senaryoyu yazan, Amerikan oyun yazarı Thorton Wilder ile yapılan işbirliğinin sonucunda ortaya çıkmıştır. İki ustanın birlikte yarattığı bu çarpıcı psikolojik gerilim filmi için, Hitchcock kısaca "Cinayet ve şiddeti evlerimize, gerçekten ait oldukları yere geri getirdi." demişti..

The concept of the series was the showing of unaired and unsold television pilots that did not make the television lineup for CBS. The show was successful during its first few seasons due to the fact that the show's concept, airing unsold and unaired television pilots, was a popular concept in the 1960s. But during its last two seasons on the air, the series did find some trouble due to the fact that the series were running out of pilots to air and, in their 4th season, they began airing repeats from the three seasons prior. During its 1966 summer run, the series aired eights new pilots and two repeats and during its last year airing five new pilots and four repeats.
