I had the honor to speak with Mr. Lee about working on the Crimson Pirate.

I hope he will share his stories on the Forum or maybe a video clip.

Thank you Mr. Lee

1stly welcome to our little family here. & you did what did he have to say? this is one film i actually have seen of his & i QUITE enjoy it in fact.

Good morning Don,

Thank you for your kind welcome.

Mr. Lee spoke about sword fighting for movies. About the stuntmen and of course Mr. Lancaster and Mr. Cravat.

I received a great photo from the widow of one of the stunmen. Behind the scene with Mr. Lee.

I think the fans of Mr. Lee would enjoy his stories.

Best regards,
Clyde Lucas

Wecome also Clyde!
I'm sure we'd all love to hear what he had to say. I for one love the stuntwork he did as well as the acting. Not many actors want to risk themselves getting hurt these days. Personally, I think it would be a blast. but then I'm one of those cheeky crazy americans! :)
Oh, and you simply MUST share your photo with us! Hugs

Thank you Kelly,

Yes I will share photo.

I agree there are so many styles to Mr. Lee.

I will be back in town this week and put up the photo.

Best,
Clyde

i agree i'm sure he can tell WONDERFUL stories about old hollywood & today's sad excuse of hollywood. another WONDERFUL actor who had WONDERFUL stories is sadly passed away & that would be John Carradine. unfortuanlly he did Only one film with Mr. Lee & that was the wonderful "house of the long shadows"

as you all know.

**Don Boycik** · 27th July 2008, 08:04 AM

oh i forgot to add you are most welcome. & i also can't wait to read your posts here in our little family as well.

**Steve Thompson** · 27th July 2008, 01:20 PM

All the best to all.

Another production to bring to your attention, Don (not sure if it was a film or mini-series): Goliath Awaits. This stars both Mr Lee and John Carradine. I cannot recall whether they worked together on any other projects, but nothing else springs immediately to mind. Anyway, just thought I would mention it to you in case you didn't know about it and wanted to look it up. Anyway, take care and all the best:

Warmest regards,

I remember seeing this film as a teenager back in the 50s and thinking,,''I'd like to do that''

Hello Forum,

I just got back in town. Thank you all for the welcome and response to the Crimson Pirate topic. I have attached a Behind the scene photo with some of the Stuntmen and Mr. Lee in the background. Hope you enjoy.

All my best to the Forum and Mr. Lee

Clyde, Thanks for sharing this picture. Must have been great to be able to be present at these 'behind the scenes' production.

Cheers,

Helen

Thank you very much for the behind the scenes image, Clyde! It's always interesting to see "new" (at least to me) photographs of Mr Lee. Wonderful! Take care and all the best:

Warmest regards,
