Barbara Lang?! "House Of Numbers" is an awesome prison-break flick from 1957 with her and Jack Palance (playing a duo twin brothers role) and Edward Platt (the Chief from "Get Smart") as the hard-assed warden of San Quentin. Worth a viewing.

In the late 1980s I had to commute every day from St. George, S.I. to Manhattan by ferry to go to NYU. Walking that steep hill of Hyatt St during the cold, icy winters was an adventure.
  1:20pm David in London:

There’s probably a supply of Her Majesty’s reverb in Bermuda. I could make a request to have it flown up to Staten Island?

When I was a kid there was a funky chinese restaurant in St. George, maybe on Central Ave, that was even in the late 1970s a place out of another time. Wonder if it is still there? Like a Schezchuan style Brigadoon.

Rex: I finally did some research on one of your film excerpts ("My morals have no zipper...") from The Scarf and discovered that the actress, Mercedes McCambridge, (as I'm sure you know) also provided the voice for the demon Pazuzu in The Exorcist.
