“What you gonna do when you get out of jail?…” part 60

Friday, May 29th, 2020

I do love me some hot Navy action. I also really enjoyed The Hunt For Red October. So:

“Co-ordinated Anti-Submarine Warfare” This is labeled as part 1, but I think the good folks at PeriscopeFilm put parts 1 and 2 together when they uploaded the newly mastered version.

Bonus video: “Tracking the Threat: Anti Submarine Warfare in the Cold War”. This has a 1982 copyright date, which makes it extremely contemporary with Red October.

Obit watch: May 29, 2020.

Richard Herd, working actor. He appeared on a minor SF TV show and was a regular on a minor sitcom, but he had a lot of other credits. (Including, interestingly enough, “Capt. Dennis Sheridan” on “T.J. Hooker”. One of the less reputable broadcast networks was running a marathon of that last weekend. Man, it is hard to watch these days.)

Anthony James, another working actor. He was in “Unforgiven” and “In the Heat of the Night” (the movie), also appeared on a minor SF TV show, and had a lot of other credits (“Quincy, M.E.”, the good “Hawaii 5-0”, “Gunsmoke”, “Starsky and Hutch”, “Police Story”, and so on).

By way of Lawrence, Cindy Lou Butler Stevens.

“Cindy Lou who?”

No, Cindy Lou Butler Stevens. She was one of the female leads in the awful “Boggy Creek II: and the Legend Continues…“, and also appeared in “The Town that Dreaded Sundown” and “Grayeagle”.

All three of those were directed by Charles B. Pierce (who also directed “The Legend of Boggy Creek”, the first film in the trilogy). Per Lawrence, Ms. Stevens was married to Mr. Pierce at the time.
