Title: Interview with Joe Caldwell
Post by: Gothick on April 04, 2015, 05:32:37 PM

Fans,

I found this interview with Joe Caldwell on a Strange Paradise website.  But there's quite a bit from Joe here about his time on DS:

I wish more had been said in the interview about Cornelius Crane.  He wrote the best episodes of the entire series of SP.  Bob Costello was responsible for bringing Crane in.  I can't help wondering if Crane was a pseudonym adopted by Violet Welles... His writing has a similar calibre and attention to nuance, atmosphere, and psychodynamic use of character.

Cornelius Crane, according to wikipedia, is the real first and middle name of Chevy Chase! Though I doubt that he wrote for Strange Paradise! [snow_wink]

Thanks for the link, Gothick.  [snow_smiley]  As a fan of both DS and SP, I'll definitely check it out when I get a chance.

I just tried to check a detail in the interview, and the page appears now to be offline.  The webmaster may be working on the site again.

The page is available again, though I didn't reread it to see if there were any changes.
