Ensign O'Toole

I typically do not share content regarding American television shows or films; however, I consider the series Ensign O'Toole to be an exception. Throughout its airing, the show featured numerous special guests, with my favourite episode being the fourth, titled "Operation: Benefit," which included an appearance by the Kim Sisters.

Ensign O'Toole is an American television sitcom featuring Dean Jones in the lead role as a naval officer on the USS Appleby, a United States Navy destroyer, set in the early 1960s. The show was broadcast from 1962 to 1963 and was directed by a range of individuals including Hy Averback, Richard Kinon, and Jackie Cooper, among others. The series drew inspiration from two works by William Lederer, namely All the Ships at Sea (1950) and Ensign O'Toole and Me (1957), with Lederer serving as a consultant. The fictional USS Appleby was represented by the destroyer USS Frank E. Evans (DD-754).

Synopsis

Ensign O'Toole serves as a junior officer on the fictional destroyer USS Appleby during the peacetime era of the early 1960s in the United States Navy. The crew includes Lieutenant Commander Virgil Stoner, the executive officer; Lieutenant (junior grade) Rex St. John, the wealthy and often confused supply officer; and a variety of eccentric crew members, such as Chief Petty Officer Homer Nelson, who frequently seeks poker games and clashes with O'Toole, along with Seamen Gabby Di Julio, Howard Spicer, and Claude White. O'Toole, characterized by his laid-back demeanor, possesses intelligence, multilingual abilities, and a knack for trivia, yet he tends to shirk responsibilities in favor of pranks and outshining the ambitious St. John, often with the crew's enthusiastic support. The commanding officer of the Appleby remains off-screen, with Lieutenant Commander Stoner typically conveying orders, although the commanding officer's voice occasionally emanates from the ship's "squawk box."

The destroyer USS Frank E. Evans (DD-754), seen in April 1963, portrayed the fictional USS Appleby.

Broadcast history

Ensign O'Toole debuted on NBC on September 23, 1962, and concluded after one season, with its final episode airing on May 5, 1963. The series, which consisted of 32 original episodes, continued to be rerun in its regular Sunday 7:00 p.m. time slot until September 15, 1963. Subsequently, from March to September 1964, ABC broadcast reruns of the show on Thursdays at 9:00 p.m., with the last episode airing on September 10, 1964, before Bewitched replaced it the following week. As of April 2023, the series has been available in the United Kingdom on Talking Pictures TV.

The ensemble cast of Ensign O'Toole features Dean Jones in the titular role of Ensign O'Toole. Supporting him are Jay C. Flippen as Chief Petty Officer Homer Nelson, Jack Mullaney portraying Lieutenant (junior grade) Rex St. John, and Jack Albertson as Lieutenant Commander Virgil Stoner.

The narrative follows Seaman Jerome J. "Jinx" Johnson, who joins the crew of the Appleby.

Stalag 17 (1953)

Basic Story: A group of airmen in a POW camp barracks believe one of their own is informing on them to the Germans.

Fan Thoughts: Somewhere between a comedy and a drama, Stalag 17 tells the story of a barracks in a POW camp that suspects they have an informant in their midst.  This film feels like it has two sets of characters, the comedy relief characters namely Stanislas ‘Animal’ Kuzawa (Robert Strauss) and Harry Shapiro (Harvey Lembeck) who provide slapstick and banter filled scenes to balance out the tension from the other set of characters, those who are looking for the informant in the barracks, J.J. Sefton (William Holden) and Duke Musgrove (Neville Brand).  While Stalag 17 has a high rating on Rotten Tomatoes, personally it felt disjointed to me with the mystery of finding the informant and then the ridiculous antics of Animal and Shapiro just not fitting together well.  Otherwise, the performances are all competent, the plot of how the informant is getting information to the Germans and how he is finally caught actually works well.  There are plenty of strong points in this film, it just comes down to whether you like the comedy aspect thrown in as well!

Warnings: several inappropriate scenes surrounding women

The Grue-Crew and guest host Dirk Rogers take a trip to the beach with one of the last of the Beach Party movies. Wait, what? There’s no beach? No ocean? No surfing? And AIP disliked the product so much that they added Boris Karloff and the whole ghost-in-the-invisible-bikini schtick after the fact?

Well, The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini (1966) makes for a nice title. Let’s face it. It’s a bad movie. It’s even a dumb movie. But it can be a fun movie, especially if you love the lame, teen music numbers inserted throughout the film as much as the Grue-Crew do. And even if you despise the music (yeah, the Grue-Crew didn’t like it either – except Doc, of course), you can have fun with this flick.

With Deborah Walley and Tommy Kirk (subbing for Annette and Frankie), Basil Rathbone, Patsy Kelly, Harvey Lembeck (Eric von Zipper!), Jesse White, and Nancy Sinatra, there’s always something to watch. Think “the Three Stooges in an old dark house.”

At the time of this writing, The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini (1966) is available to stream from MGM+, Amazon Prime, and several PPV options.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror: The Classic Era records a new episode every two weeks.

William Holden in Stalag 17 (Billy Wilder, 1953)

Cast: William Holden, Don Taylor, Otto Preminger, Robert Strauss, Harvey Lembeck, Richard Erdman, Peter Graves, Neville Brand, Sig Ruman, Edmund Trczinski,. Screenplay: Billy Wilder, Edwin Blum, based on a play by Donald Bevan and Edmund Trzcinski. Cinematography: Ernest Laszlo. Art direction: Franz Bachelin, Hal Pereira. Film editing: George Tomasini. Music: Franz Waxman.

After their success with Sunset Blvd. (1950), Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett went their separate ways. They had been one of the most successful teams in Hollywood history since 1938, when they began collaborating as screenwriters, and then as a producer (Brackett), director (Wilder), and co-writer team starting with Five Graves to Cairo in 1943. But Wilder decided that he wanted to be a triple-threat: producer, director, and writer. His first effort in this line, Ace in the Hole (1951), was, however, a commercial flop -- now regarded as a classic. So he seems to have decided to go for the sure thing: film versions of plays that had been Broadway hits and therefore had a built-in attraction to audiences. His next three movies, Stalag 17, Sabrina (1954), and The Seven Year Itch (1955), all fell into this category. But what Wilder really needed was a steady writing collaborator, which he didn't find until 1957, when he teamed up with I.A.L. Diamond for the first time on Love in the Afternoon. The collaboration hit pay dirt in 1959 with Some Like It Hot, and won Wilder his triple-threat Oscar with The Apartment (1960). Which is all to suggest that Stalag 17 appeared while Wilder was in a kind of holding pattern in his career. It's not a particularly representative work, given its origins on stage which bring certain expectations from those who saw it there and also from those who want to see a reasonable facsimile of the stage version. The play, set in a German P.O.W. camp in 1944, was written by two former inmates of the titular prison camp, Donald Bevan and Edmund Trczinski. In revising it, Wilder built up the character of the cynical Sgt. Sefton (William Holden), partly to satisfy Holden, who had walked out of the first act of the play on Broadway. Sefton is in many ways a redraft of Holden's Joe Gillis in Sunset Blvd., worldly wise and completely lacking in sentimentality, a character type that Holden would be plugged into for the rest of his career, and it won him the Oscar that he probably should have won for that film. But it's easy to see why Holden wanted the role beefed up, because Stalag 17 is the kind of play and movie that it's easy to get lost in: an ensemble with a large all-male cast, each one eager to make his mark. Harvey Lembeck and Robert Strauss, as the broad comedy Shapiro and "Animal," steal most of the scenes -- Strauss got a supporting actor nomination for the film -- and Otto Preminger as the camp commandant and Sig Ruman as the German Sgt. Schulz carry off many of the rest. The cast even includes one of the playwrights, Edmund Trczinski, as "Triz," the prisoner who gets a letter from his wife, who claims that he "won't believe it," but an infant was left on her doorstep and it looks just like her. Triz's "I believe it," which he obviously doesn't, becomes a motif through the film. Bowdlerized by the Production Code, Stalag 17 hasn't worn well, despite Holden's fine performance, and it's easy to blame it for creating the prison-camp service comedy genre, which reached its nadir in the obvious rip-off Hogan's Heroes, which ran on TV for six seasons, from 1965 to 1971.

After the Uganda–Tanzania War, Tanzanian troops discovered Bloch's body in 1979 in a sugar plantation around 20 miles (32 km) from Kampala, near the Jinja Road. Visual identification was impossible because her face was badly burned, but the corpse showed signs of a leg ulcer. A pathologist working with the Israel Defense Forces formally identified Bloch from the remains. Her remains were returned to her son in Israel, where she was given an Israeli state funeral. She was buried in Jerusalem's Har HaMenuchot Cemetery.
