Hello! I am in nature for this week's bonus video, briefly. Let's talk about some of the incredibly highlight's of Angela Lansbury's career, including her gay husband, a forgotten gay-romance film she made in the 1970s, and all her tireless work to fight HIV. Also this week: A super bizarre connection between one of the gay killers in Hitchcock's film Rope and the world's first robot. Also, a little tease of bonus content to come: I've got my hands on a 1945 gossip column written by Joan Crawford!

Hey Matt, you may have shared this before, but is there a workaround if the Vimeo vid can’t play (says it doesn’t exist). Thanks for any help!

Can’t wait to see the bonus Joan Crawford stuff

Ah geez I really thought they fixed that!!! I added a backup link, let me know if it's still not working.

That looks much more like John Payne than Ray Milland...

Backup link works, getting ready to watch now. Thanks!!!

Zardogs! Zardogs!

I knew Angela was cool, I'd seen your other video, but everything I hear just gets more impressive. I should probably just read her biography. Do you honestly believe anyone who's one of your Patreons is going to say "no" to Joan Crawford's life tips?

I use MakeMKV to rip blu-rays for archiving. I was able to watch Angela Lansbury film an episode of MSW while I was a student at Caltech. The episode was "Alma Murder" (I see what you did there, MSW) and it took place at a New England college which Caltech was standing in for. Pasadena is popular for filming because it's close to the film studios and it has lots of quaint tree-lined streets that could be almost anywhere. The houses could be in the Midwest or New England as long as you don't get a palm tree in frame- something which the original Halloween failed to do if you look closely! For MSW, they just had to point the camera to the parts of the campus that had tons of pine trees and "Voila!" it's New England. At the end of one day of filming, Angela Lansbury stayed to sign autographs for staff and students who were watching the filming. She said it was the least she could do for "disrupting" the campus. I got her to sign one of my textbooks. Such a fine lady.

another vote for makemkv, it works very well, it's very fast (it doesn't re-encode the video just copies) and it's super simple. You don't need a special drive or anything I just use some random cheap usb drive from amazon if you want it to work for more than a month you either have to re-download it or give the developer a few bucks, but it's worth it if you do this often

You didn't get to mention Beauty and the Beast, where she starred with David Ogden Stiers (who was succeeded as Cogsworth by Ian McKellan)

MakeMKV. It's free and works great for encrypted BluRay movies.

If we are mentioning somewhat obscure and impacts of Angela Lansbury, Matt please don't forget her campy triumph in Bedknobs and Broomsticks which has inspired witchy gay children since 1971 :)
