This morn, I'm embedding five minutes out of the middle of the 1958 not-very-good science-fiction movie, Spacemaster X7. Why am I doing such a thing? Well, the whole thing's up on YouTube in pieces but you have much better things to do than watch it. Still, I thought you'd enjoy to see the great voice actor Paul Frees in one of his rare on-camera roles. Paul did thousands of movies, commercials and cartoon shows, the latter category including darn near everything Jay Ward ever did. He was Boris Badenov. He was Ludwig Von Drake. He was the Pillsbury Doughboy. He was the voice of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. He was everybody.
And here he is in this movie playing a scientist opposite actress Lyn Thomas. If I'd been the director of this film, I would have had someone else come in and redub Paul's entire part. Just to show him what it felt like.
