THE MATCH KING features one of my favorite Warren William performances. I only wish the title was better (although it’s certainly apprpropriately descriptive).
Hey Rick, almost missed your comment (It didn’t send to my email for some reason!).
I like the title on this one. I have a feeling if they went another way it would have only gotten more descriptive like “The Ivar Krueger Story.” What do you like for a title?
Hm … maybe “The Match King” will sneak into Warner Archives release as part of a Lili Damita set…
Jeffers, I’m going to take that the way I read it, heaping with sarcasm, then I’m going to sigh and agree with you.
