Comments on: Welcome to Warren-William.com http://warrenwilliam.com/hello-world/ 1930's & 1940's Film Star Warren William Tribute Site Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:53:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: The_Mouthpiece http://warrenwilliam.com/hello-world/comment-page-1/#comment-15 The_Mouthpiece Fri, 29 Aug 2008 06:39:06 +0000 http://warrenwilliam.com/?p=1#comment-15 Hi Leslie, Welcome aboard! As inactive as I am in updating this site (I apologize, I really do!) I am glad that it can offer a space for others to share info on Warren William. Wow, if he was Star of the Month it had to be before my cable company started carrying TCM (which it may have been), but I would have loved to see that! Which 4 are airing? Curious if they're showing anything I missed. Oh that's probably part of Kay Francis month, right, another pre-code WB star. I've got a pretty good collection of Warren William films going, studio release DVDs when available, and sadly burned DVD-R copies when they're not. I find iOffer a pretty good source for those by the way. Thanks again, Leslie, you're more than welcome to come post over here anytime! Hopefully I can get something new up for when you return, but to be honest my other site pays the bills while this one is purely hobby. Cliff Hi Leslie,

I guess it was last spring they must have had him as the star of the month on TCM, because all of a sudden they were showing all kinds of his films. I really had no idea who he was prior to that, but I'm hooked! I haven't been able to find any biographical books (I don't think any were ever written), I guess due to the fact he & his wife didn't have children & she died 3 months after him. It also sounds like they never mixed at all with the Hollywood crowd, so it's very difficult to find out anything about him as a person. I've got my DVR scheduled to record him for September in 4 films on TCM. I’m so happy to find fans of Warren William!

The Lone Wolf flicks are a riot, aren't they? Lanyard's different hobbies always crack me up, in one he's a stamp collector, in another he has banks of aquariums on the walls of his apartment. The support in the Lone Wolf movies are generally experienced and excellent character actors as well (be sure to see my post on the <a href="http://warren-william.com/blog/?p=8" rel="nofollow">Inspector and Dickens</a> too). Kathy, be on the lookout for airings of "Skyscraper Souls" and "Employees' Entrance," you can't miss these twin gems. I haven't come across either on TCM in awhile, but they did both get VHS release and you can find bootleg DVD-R copies of them online (try <a href="http://www.ioffer.com" rel="nofollow">iOffer</a> if you go looking). I have the LaSalle book, and it's companion, and do recall there being 4-5 pages on William, not sure if I've mentioned them yet or not, but surely will in time. When I started out I had such luck with the newspaper archives, and it was such original material, that I stuck with it, but obviously that well will eventually run dry. The main part of the site is still pretty small, basically the intro page, a list of credits, and one (very detailed) review. I get a little busy with my other online commitments, so the site will likely grow at a snail' pace, but I am going to do my best to post new info, photos, etc. to this blog at least 2-3 times per month. Thanks again, Kathy, hope to see you back, Cliff Hi Kathy,
