What took you so long to get here?
Where have you been all my life?
I’ll tell you where I’ve been.  

I’ve been in show business!

Ever since I was a little kid and heard Pinocchio singing, “Hey, diddly-dee, an actor’s life for me,” that’s what I wanted. Well, not to be an actor. 
I got tired of that during my freshman year in college.

So, what to do, what to do. . .

After many years as a Hollywood press agent, I became a writer…movies, stage plays, books.  
Anything that was a challenge.  I love telling stories.

After all, with due respect to actors, directors and other artists, isn’t the only truly creative aspect of the performing arts the written word?     
Everything else is “interpretation”.

On this site you will find links to my many stage plays that are available for licensing, listings of my books that are available for purchasing, some of my screenplays that are available for optioning, plus my blog that will keep you apprised of my various on-going activities and we can get to know each other, maybe too well.

If you’re into DVDs, take a look at my monthly newsletter, BEST BETS ON DVD.

Also, if you have a story that you want told, either in screenplay or book form, I am still a writer-for-hire.  Have Mac-Will Write.

So, please sign the guest book and share your thoughts and comments on my blog.  But, let’s play nice!

Don’t be such a stranger.  Keep coming back!

Blu-Ray Review: MAN WITHOUT A STAR

by Michael B. Druxman on 08/30/19

August 30, 2019

I just watched the new Blu-Ray release of MAN WITHOUT A STAR from Kino Lorber:

Directed by King Vidor, MAN WITHOUT A STAR (1955) is a handsome, entertaining color Western that stars Kirk Douglas as a rugged wandering cowboy, who winds up in the middle of a bloody range war.

Jeanne Crain plays Douglas’ wealthy employer, the new owner of a huge ranch; Claire Trevor is Kirk’s “close” friend, the local madam; Richard Boone is the brutal gunman hired by Crain to make sure her fellow ranchers don’t threaten the open range by stringing barb wire; and William Campbell is an inexperienced drifter who Douglas “takes under his wing,” only to have the youth turn on him.

Also in the cast are Jay C. Flippen, Mara Corday, Myrna Hansen and Jack Elam.
MAN WITHOUT A STAR has several good action sequences, as well as a fair share of humor. Doulas even sings in one scene.

Extras on the Blu-Ray disc from Kino Lorber include audio commentary by film historian Toby Roan and the theatrical trailer.
