Basil Rathbone : The Baz
Re: The Baz
Thanks so much for the link!
One of the bloggers there said they were looking for a copy of The Mad Doctor - saying it was hard to find.
A friend of mine sent me a copy of the film some time ago, and I confess I haven't sat down and watched it yet, though I want to this weekend, but if anyone is looking for it, PM me.

The Baz
I just found little book I found online called "Watchman, What of the Night?", all about the struggles to get The Heiress on Broadway in 1947 (Baz starred in the play as Dr Sloper). What's interesting is there's an account I've never read anywhere before about the director meeting Basil's wife Ouida. It's bizarre! I get the impression she was pretty damn scary.
I've pasted the relevant section and there's a link to the entire book in various formats.
Hope any Basil fan will enjoy.
