Bernard Bresslaw 1959 with Vera Day Pop-eyed comic actor Bernard Bresslaw
Bernard Bresslaw 1959 with Vera Day
Pop-eyed comic actor Bernard Bresslaw appropriately played " Popeye" a dimbulbed british private in the comedy series " The Army Game" (1957-62). This led to revitalization of a film career that had begun somewhat ignominously in 1954s " Men of Sherwood Forest". Bresslaw was starred in the tacky but undoubtedly funny film farce " I Only Arsked" (1958) and provided comic support in such films as " Too Many Crooks" (1959). He became a member of the lunatic " Carry On" ensemble in 14 films like " Carry On Cowboy" (1965) etc... He also showed up briefly plying his laugh grabbing trade in Disneys " One Of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing" (1975) and the Monty Pythonesque " Jabberwocky" (1979).
Vera Day - Born 1939- England, worked in films throughout the fifties and sixties. Her most famous film was " Quatermass 2" - a sci-fi film about an alien invasion - sublimally a cruel satire of British bureaucracy and obfuscation. However, the film works best on a pure horror level. Brian Donlevy played Professor Quatermass. She also appeared in the film " The Prince and The Showgirl." which starred Laurence Olivier and Marylin Monroe

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic duo of Bernard Bresslaw and Vera Day in 1959. Known for his pop-eyed expressions, Bernard Bresslaw was a British comic actor who gained fame through his role as "Popeye" in the comedy series "The Army Game". This marked a turning point in his film career, which had initially started with modest success in "Men of Sherwood Forest" (1954). Bresslaw went on to star in hilarious yet somewhat tacky films like "I Only Arsked" (1958) and provided comedic support in movies such as "Too Many Crooks" (1959). Vera Day, born in England in 1939, also made her mark on the silver screen throughout the fifties and sixties. Her most notable film was "Quatermass 2" a sci-fi masterpiece that cleverly satirized British bureaucracy while delivering pure horror. Starring alongside Brian Donlevy as Professor Quatermass, Day's performance added depth to this alien invasion tale. In addition to their individual successes, both actors crossed paths briefly outside their usual genres. Bresslaw showcased his comedic talents in Disney's "One Of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing" (1975) and the Monty Pythonesque film "Jabberwocky" (1979), while Day appeared alongside Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe in the classic film "The Prince and The Showgirl". This print serves as a delightful reminder of two talented individuals who left an indelible mark on British cinema during this era.
