JUST DESERTS!!!

*THE MUMMY (1932),
BORIS KARLOFF stars as Im-ho-tep/Ardeth Bey, a resurrected 3000 year
old Egyptian mummy in search of his re-incarnated princess. KARLOFF's
second major film appearance; a Gothic fantasy in the Germanic style.
The Mummy presents BORIS KARLOFF in his first all-speaking Universal
horror role (after Frankenstein and The Old Dark House.) Essentially a
re-working of Dracula, The Mummy is directed by Karl Freund, a German
émigré, and Dracula's cinematographer. Visually impressive and fluid,
The Mummy is fun to watch and KARLOFF has some of his greatest moments.
The Mummy is also notable for its unusual leading lady, Zita Johann.
From the story by Nina Wilcox Putnam and Richard Schayer. FANTASTIC

*PERMANENT HOUSE GUEST (1965),
"I will go. You may keep the elephant!" - Jeannie
I DREAM OF JEANNIE ep. Jeannie complains that her master Tony never
asks for anything big, like a yacht. After coaxing him into allowing
her to blink him up 'just one big thing', Tony closes his eyes and is
rewarded with an elephant in his bedroom. Dr. Bellows arrives, and Tony
explains he's just keeping it for a friend. Jeannie replaces the
elephant with a toy poodle. When Bellows returns with General Paterson,
he finds it hard to explain what happened to the elephant. Later
Bellows tells Tony he is moving in with him to find out what is going
on because Peterson thinks he is losing his mind. Doctor Bellows moves
in and becomes convinced Tony's house is haunted after a series of
nerve wracking experiences involving Jeannie's magic and Tony's
"housekeeper", a fat Persian with a lady's (Jeannie's) voice. Tony
tells Roger that if he can figure out a way of getting Jeannie's bottle
out of the house, he will entrust her to his care until Bellows leaves.
Before he can do so, Jeannie agrees to get rid of Bellows. He leaves,
telling Tony he wouldn't stay another night. Roger arrives to pick up
Jeannie. He has a long list of things he wants Jeannie to produce for
him, ending with a maid. Jeannie blinks. Agnes, a hard-bitten female in
a maid's uniform appears and lets Roger know who is going to be boss in
this house. Season One(B/W)#24 DETAILS:
