The Lighter Side of "Terror" :)

Hi!

In 1955, Jack Kelly starred in the film The Night Holds Terror, portraying a young husband and father who's abducted and then held for ransom in his own home. It's an intense story.

Between "takes" on Terror, however, JK was relaxed and even playful, as (most of) the photos below reveal.

I know: JK looks pretty serious here. But this vintage original still was way too cool to ignore:

 

Now, here's a more laid-back shot. The snipe on the reverse of this original Columbia Pictures still (which references the film's working title) says, "REFRESHMENT - Jack Kelly takes time off from Columbia's Terror In the Night for a drink of water".

Look--another grimace! :) JK checks out the water in his swimming pool and finds it a little too chilly for his liking. As the snipe says, "OUCH! - Jack Kelly tests the temperature in his swimming pool, on a cold day off from working in Columbia's Terror In the Night."

Finally, here's my favorite poolside pic of JK. "JACK KELLY - the young actor plays the role of the hero in Columbia's Terror In The Night," says the snipe.

BTW, I think it's always great to see a sharp-dressed man such as JK. Even without a tie, he manages to look sartorially splendid.

Can you imagine if these photos were taken of a modern male celebrity? They'd probably be slouching in a T-shirt and jeans, while staring at a cellphone. (Although, I wouldn't mind seeing JK in jeans, or maybe a bathing suit, since he's near a pool... ;>)

Well, I'd better stop here, but stay tuned...you never know what you'll see next in TDS!
