We continue from this morning's post with our look at Minute Movies from ... is it Ed Wheelan or Art Hokum?
I guess it depends on one's frame of reference.
Let's start off with the lovely Hazel Dearie in a starring role -
As i noted last time, the concept of using a regular team of 'actors' starring in an anthology series is a rather brilliant notion. Not only does it dramatically reduce the character design stage, it creates a framework to have fun. And have fun exploiting the notion Wheelan did -
There ya go - our director, Art Hokum, as teased last time. He'll show up more, when he's not working on his autobiography (That's Why Hokum Was Born or No Runs, No Hits, One Error).
While having fun with the format, Ed even stepped outside of movies with his ensemble troupe -
Matinee Bonus!
It's a Matinee Performance, so let's have a Matinee Performance, eh?
Well, you can't find Minute Movies every month in Flash Comics any more. But, i suspect we can find a few more around these parts before too long.
