Hey gang! I'm always promoting On Demand -- Cutting Edge -- Something Weird, and in this week's trailer trash, check out the 1950's Exploitation selection. Of the four movie previews offered in this collection, no less than 3 feature B-Movie legend Timothy Farrell!
Fun facts about Farrell:
- He played the character "Umberto Scalli" in three different pictures
- He appeared in four films that contained either the word "Girl" or "Girls"
- He was in two movies that contain the word "Racket"
- In "Test Tube Babies" he did not wear his trademark mustache
- He appeared in two Ed Wood films: Glen or Glenda and Jailbait
- When he wasn't starring in low-budget Adults-only films, he was a bailiff in the LA Sheriff's Department. One of his films (Paris After Midnight) was seized during a police raid, causing him a bit of professional embarrassment.
- Farrell appeared in 1954 (Judy Garland) version of A Star is Born...as a bailiff!
- He played a doctor in three different films
- His real name is Timothy Sperl
And this in a career of only twelve films over a span of ten years!

I would like to add that "Dance Hall Racket" was written by and stars Lenny Bruce, and features his wife, Honey Harlowe.
