Bradford Dillman: A Compulsively Watchable Actor

By Harvey Chartrand

In a career that has spanned 43 years, Bradford Dillman accumulated more than 500 film and TV credits. The slim, handsome and patrician Dillman may have been the busiest actor in Hollywood during the late sixties and early seventies, working non-stop for years. In 1971 alone, Dillman starred in seven full-length feature films. And this protean output doesn’t include guest appearances on six TV shows that same year.

Yale-educated Dillman first drew good notices in the early 1950s on the Broadway stage and in live TV shows, such as Climax and Kraft Television Theatre. After making theatrical history playing Edmund Tyrone in the first-ever production of Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into Night in 1956, Dillman landed the role of blueblood psychopath Artie Straus in the crime-and-punishment thriller Compulsion (1959), for which he »

Last May, the Alamo Drafthouse held an all-day marathon of the original Planet of the Apes series, appropriately titled Day of the Apes. Attendees got the pleasure of seeing Planet of the Apes, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Escape From the Planet of the Apes, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, and Battle for the Planet of the Apes on the big screen, back-to-back and in 35mm to boot, while the rest of us had to settle for merely reading about this glorious tribute to one of sci-fi's most endearingly strange phenomena. Today, however, all of us can join in the Drafthouse-Apes love with the unveiling of Mondo's poster series created for all five films. It is our great pleasure to bring you the exclusive premiere of the Mondo and Sideshow Collectibles-produced, Martin...

In May 2011, the Alamo Drafthouse hosted “Day of the Apes,” an epic 8-hour marathon of all five Planet of the Apes films on 35mm. Above all other things, this should be celebrated as one fine event. Every single Apes film in glorious 35mm? What could possibly improve such a situation? How about a brilliant set of posters from some of Mondo’s sinister cabal of artists, the likes of Ken Taylor, Martin Ansin, Phantom City Creative and Jason Edmiston. In an unprecedented exclusive that spans across four of the web’s most popular film blogs (and also Film School Rejects), the poster set, created to commemorate the event, is finally unveiled to the public with each film tackled by a different artist. First, lets have an exclusive look at Ken Taylor’s Beneath the Planet of the Apes print: Click below to view the other exclusive posters at io9, Movies.com »
