It is to me, Jayne's best movie. Trax is perfect in his role, and gorgeous! I looked him up, right away, to see his other credits. He is particularly excellent in the scene where he goes back to help his dog. I cried during that scene. Any movie that can make me feel that kind of pathos, is good. I love you for this film, Trax Colton!

I was in another gig and that was the last episode made by Herbert B. Leonard who produced the series "Naked city" the episode called "the carrier". I played opposite the actress Sandy Dennis who went on to win an academy Award. I was born May 26, 1929. Have worded out and have physical fitness at my advanced age that is pretty good if I do say so myself.<br />thanks for your comments and God bless you all......Louis MorelliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917776121387891817.post-70279501756723538572010-11-05T21:10:05.064-04:002010-11-05T21:10:05.064-04:00he did have a delightful chin.he did have a delightful chin.normadesmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325110017442011627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917776121387891817.post-12015787234055845152010-11-05T13:12:07.742-04:002010-11-05T13:12:07.742-04:00MAN!

Then Colton comes on, like he overdosed on Vicodin while in the bathroom. As usual with these kinds of things, I lay the blame on the director.Ptolemy1https://www.blogger.com/profile/04334386659240438250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917776121387891817.post-39904911441123558682010-11-05T11:46:24.634-04:002010-11-05T11:46:24.634-04:00I'll go with the hunch that the unfortunate Lo...I'll go with the hunch that the unfortunate Louis Morelli that ilduce uncovered is <em>not</em> Trax Colton -- the birth date for the incarcerated Morelli is 1942, making him a mere 18 at the time <em>Athens</em> was filmed; Colton appears somewhat older than that, particularly since he's paired with the then-27 year old Mansfield. <br /><br />I'm a little obsessed with this film, since it stars one of my cult faves (Mansfield) and the kind of obscure, studio-groomed heartthrob (Colton) whom I obsessively try to dig up data on. Also, the production values seem reasonably high, Mansfield looks splendid, and it would have been nice if Fox had included this in their Mansfield box set a few years back.<br /><br />Some more trivia I've stumbled (or Googled) upon: <br /><br />* Nana Mouskouri recorded a single (in Greek and English) of this film's theme song! If anyone has it, <em>please</em> send me the mp3! <br /><br />* Trax/Louis once owned a 1957 Corvette; the collector who eventually purchased it found his SAG card tucked behind the dash. <br /><br />* Someone created a Myspace page and website for Trax, with what look like personal, candid photos; yet the text and biographical info is practically nonexistant. Also, the Myspace page credited to Colton lists his current age as 59, which would have made him all of 12 when he signed with Fox. (Maybe he had Ann Miller's publicist.)TJBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09180041865489453236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917776121387891817.post-51075728514676495162010-11-05T11:27:40.471-04:002010-11-05T11:27:40.471-04:00@Poseidon3
