I have visited hundreds of Disney web sites and left questions about his career but there is almost nothing available. It is very strange considering he played an important part in those early Disney classics.<BR/><BR/>So if anyone out there can help with any of these questions please get in touch.Clement Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116966238223089211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553543872920431955.post-8728347708357480012008-05-01T17:08:00.000-07:002008-05-01T17:08:00.000-07:00Wonderful publicity still of the two stars of the ...Wonderful publicity still of the two stars of the film - perfectly cast.<BR/>This was a studio set shot and again shows how incredibly good the sets were. Lovely to see yet another still that I have not seen before. It is a pity some of these stills were not in colour - nevertheless very good. Mention is of 1st May being the onset of spring. The start of filming was 30 April 1951 and as Richard Todd said in his autobiography, the Disney staff had not reckoned with a covering of snow that morning as they planned to do an outdoor shoot. It soon went of course and the film was sucessfully shot. I have seen some Box Office figures for Treasure Island but not for Story of Robin Hood even though I reckon it was more successful than any of the four live action films done in the early 50s by Walt Disney in EnglandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553543872920431955.post-51888649892720645092008-05-01T09:15:00.000-07:002008-05-01T09:15:00.000-07:00Richard ToddJoan RicePicture GalleryRichard Todd<BR/>Joan Rice<BR/>Picture GalleryClement Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116966238223089211noreply@blogger.com
