In 1959, one moment, Kenneth Haigh was fleeing German fighter planes in 1917 and the next moment he was 42 years into the future. His confusion was heightened after he landed that not only was he in the future, but the air base he landed at was waiting for the arrival of a World War II hero that Haigh left to face the German fighters alone and die ("The Last Flight", Twilight Zone, TV)

Impact

“Charming” isn’t a word normally associated with film noir, yet it fits Arthur Lubin’s IMPACT (1949, TCM, Tubi, Plex, Prime, YouTube). From the intricate plot in which everything falls neatly into place to the location photography in San Francisco and Larkspur, CA, to, most importantly, the not quite love scenes between Brian Donlevy and Ella Raines, it’s an ongoing delight. Wealthy industrialist Donlevy is driving to Denver for a plant opening when his wife (Helen Walker) contrives to have her lover go along for the ride and kill him. The lover is neither very good with a tire iron nor with a steering wheel and ends up dead in a fiery car crash while Donlevy, stunned to discover what the Mrs. had been doing, wanders the countryside until he winds up at war widow Raines’ filling station. Romance is as inevitable as Hollywood usually makes it. Meanwhile, police detective Charles Coburn, in one of his least fussy performances, tries to make sense out of the plot.

With lots of scenes shot on location (including the same San Francisco hotel where Kim Novak’s character stayed in VERTIGO), IMPACT is a lot sunnier than most film noirs, but the plot is so twisted and Walker such a great femme fatale it doesn’t matter. The script, by Dorothy Davenport (that’s Mrs. Wallace Reid to you) is a masterpiece of efficiency, with key facts and events planted effortlessly and events communicated through telegrams, newspaper headlines and even a radio broadcast by gossip columnist Sheilah Grahame. Raines was never distinctive enough to be a star, but she’s a darned good actress and lots better than you’d expect from a film noir good woman. Donlevy, whose leading man days were largely over by 1949, has beautiful moments as he realizes what’s going on in his life. Anna May Wong deserved a lot better than her brief role as Walker’s maid, but she delivers a solid performance in her next-to-last film. Her friend (and merkin?) Philip Ahn is on-hand in old-age makeup as her uncle. You may also spot Robert Warwick as a police captain, Clarence Kolb as chairman of Donlevy’s board, silent great Mae Marsh as Raines’ mother, Jason Robards, Sr. as a judge, Erskine Sanford as a doctor and horror film standby Morris Ankrum as Donlevy’s assistant.

Robert Warwick: 60 Years in Spotlights

Most who remember actor Robert Warwick (Robert Bien, 1878-1964) probably know him best as a supporting player of the sound era. His over 250 credits include nearly all of the Preston Sturges classics, as well as familiar films like Dr. X (1932), Cleopatra (1934), Anna Karenina (1935), The Little Colonel (1935), Romeo and Juliet (1936), Mary of Scotland (1936), The Prince and the Pauper (1937),…

THE DAUNTLESS THREE / THE SPIDER

1920

The Dauntless Three (later known as The Spider) is a four act mystery play by Horace Annesley Vachell and Walter Hackett based on Vachell’s 1916 play Mr. Jubilee Drax. The original production was produced by the Shuberts and staged by William Devereaux starring Robert Warwick and featuring Estelle Winwood.

The story concerns an adventurer in search of a missing blue white diamond. A rich American hires him to find the diamond after it has been stolen from the safe of a South African mining company. The mining company employs a girl detective to look for it, and a company of desperate criminals also joins the search. Together they become known as The Dauntless Three. ln the meantime, the gem is safely hidden in the house of a Levantine merchant. The merchant sells the stone, kills the purchaser, resells the gem, again kills the purchaser. How and why the third purchaser remains untold.

The first act begins with the adventurer telling how the deed was accomplished and the second act takes us back to the actual accomplishment. From there we jump ahead four weeks, and then back two weeks.

The production’s main draw was the return to the stage of Robert Warwick after a five year absence. Warwick had been in Hollywood acting in films to great success. For this reason, ads for the play were careful to stipulate that Warwick was appearing “personally in the spoken drama”.

Robert Warwick (1878-1964) was born Robert Taylor Bien in Sacramento, California. A matinee idol during the Silent film era, he prospered with the introduction of sound to cinema thanks to a rich, resonant voice, evolving into a highly regarded character actor, accruing more than 200 screen appearances. He started acting on Broadway in 1903.

The play opened in Atlantic City at the Globe Theatre on the Boardwalk on October 21, 1920. It played a split week with Sonya, a play featuring Otto Krueger and Violet Hemming.

The usually generous Atlantic City critics were not enthusiastic, although they admired Warwick. From AC, the production went to the Adelphi in Philadelphia.

~ ATLANTIC CITY PRESS, November 18, 1920

“In his haste to quit the Klieg lights for the footlights, Warwick may have been unseemingly hurried... One dreads to consider what ‘The Dauntless Three’ would be without him or someone equally as able.” ~ EARLE DROSEY, THE WASHINGTON HERALD

Philadelphia and DC critics were no more generous than those on the Boardwalk. Undaunted (pardon the pun) the play trooped on to Baltimore and Brooklyn.

In an attempt to shed its poor reputation, in mid-November it was announced that the play would be known as The Spider.

“The name of Robert Warwick's play has been changed. It goes into New York as ‘The Spider,' but the identity of the spider is a puzzle. Does the title describe so unflatteringly the dashing young adventurer, or does it apply to the wily Levantine, who certainly sits in his web and waits for the unwary ones who become his prey? But he plays a comparatively unimportant role. Let them call it ‘The Dauntless Three' or 'The Spider,' however, and it will still remain rattling good melodrama.” ~ KATHERINE MCKINSEY, BALTIMORE SUN

But after Washington, the play called it quits, finally daunted by the negative reviews.

Robert Warwick returned to the screen, appearing in The Family Honor, which opened on December 22, 1920 at Atlantic City’s Criterion Theatre (later called The Strand) on the Boardwalk across from Steel Pier.

“The King of Melody,” Burt Bacharach Dead at 94

Burt Bacharach, the composer of more than 50 top-40 hits and songwriting partner of and collaborator with Hal David, Dionne Warwick, Elvis Costello and others, has died at 94 of natural causes.

The Associated Press first reported the news.

“Farewell genius,” Simply Red tweeted.

Hailed by Dave Davies as “probably one of the most influential songwriters of our time,” Bacharach, whose motto was “never be ashamed to write a melody that people remember,” is said to have composed more than 1,000 songs including “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head,” “What the World Needs Now” and “What’s New, Pussycat?”

“He was a great inspiration,” Davies said.

Bacharach in 2020 cut Blue Umbrella with Nashville singer/songwriter Daniel Tashian, causing Sawyer Brown to marvel at the composer’s triumph of “creating timeless songs” into his 90s.

“Thank you, Burt Bacharach, for all those wonderful traveling companions,” Brown wrote on Facebook, recounting the songwriter’s work with Warwick, which included 20 top-40 hits.

Bacharach’s songs were also recorded by the Beatles, the Fifth Dimension, Manfred Mann, Dusty Springfield, Christopher Cross, Roberta Flack and others. He and Costello released Painted from Memory in 1998.

“I’ll always think of Burt Bacharach as the King of Melody,” Stephen Bishop said. “His songs are timeless.”
