Wonderful scene! All of Grayson's scenes with Humbert were so good. Even the one from 1897 where she made a big flub but neither of them hesitated or lost their concentration in the scene for a moment. Two superb actors! And this one had very good dialogue for both. The kind of scene that non-fans often find baffling if they stumble over it. But of course that leaves more for us to love!

MB, I MUST say I love the theme of your new show!

Episode 2 today, I think?

Hope you and yours are safe and healthy....

All the best, G.

Great shot of Barnabas from one of everybody's favorite scenes.

Thanks, MB!

Dear Fans,

I watched this movie with Tyrone Power, Ann Blyth, and other distinguished actors last night. It's known by various titles: I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU, THE HOUSE IN THE SQUARE and MAN OF TWO WORLDS, and is a remake of the 1930s film BERKELEY SQUARE. The movie dates to 1951 and I think it was most likely a primary source for the storyline in which Vicki traveled back through time to 18th century Collinwood:

One of the themes that the two have in common is Vicki having an idealized view of life back in the 18th century before her sojourn. Soon after arriving, she comes to realize that "the past" isn't such a bed of roses as she had imagined.

The 1951 film does not have any characters corresponding to Joshua, Aunt Abigail, Trask, Ben et al, but the hero's name is Peter Standish which might have somehow suggested the name of Peter Bradford.

The most amusing character is foppish brother Tom played by legendary UK character actor Dennis Price... it would have been fun if a character like this had been part of the 18th century Collins family.

Thanks, Midnite, for that link. THE WORLD OF HENRY ORIENT is a lot of fun and features Angela Lansbury in an offbeat monster-mother role.

Interesting that she reportedly wrote for Gold Key's Boris Karloff book, as well.

According to this review, Joe mentions that in the 1950s, an apartment could be rented in NYC for $24 a month. That seems much more fantastical than any of the storylines on DS.

Thinking of folks living now in NYC and praying for your safety, health and sanity.

I checked Spectrum TV and got a screen stating that my browser is too outdated to run the channel.

I hope you enjoy the series if you do watch.
