All Day With JK! :)

Hello!

While researching the previous posts about Drive A Crooked Road, I came across this block of movie ads from February 1, 1955:

Look closely. Notice anything interesting? 

Well, three movies with Jack Kelly were playing in theaters on this day: The Violent Men, Black Tuesday and They Rode West. Both the first and last of these films also co-starred his future wife May Wynn (Donna Kelly).

So, one could have spent all day watching JK! :)

Of course, we can do that today, too. And, thanks to modern viewing technology, fans can watch JK in his various roles at home, without having to rush between three different theaters. Still, it would have been fun to see him on the big screen.

Although JK played only supporting roles in these three films, he managed to attract the eye of a moviegoer when she and her friends saw him in Black Tuesday. She asked a fan magazine about "the good-looking actor who played 'Frank Carson' the reporter...Although his part was small, my friends and I were impressed." 

"The facts", but they got JK's birthday wrong! :0

Please stay tuned for more about our good-looking guy in TDS. :)
