CUSHING
(Peter, 1913-1994, Character Actor)
Fine Autograph Letter Signed to
Dennis WHEATLEY
(1897-1977, Novelist) saying that he has “now had two copies made of ‘Blockade’ rules & as promised I enclose the original, also Table of Actions. It was extremely kind of you to trust me with them, & I really am
most
grateful. I am making the tokens in my spare moments & look forward to our first game as soon as we have a free weekend!...”, 2 sides oblong 4to., 2 Airlie Gardens, W8,
During the 1930s, Wheatley conceived a series of mysteries, presented as case files, including testimonies, letters, and pieces of evidence such as hairs or pills. The reader had to inspect this evidence to solve the mystery before unsealing the last pages of the file, which gave the answer. Four of these 'Crime Dossiers' were published: Murder Off Miami, Who Killed Robert Prentice?, The Malinsay Massacre, and Herewith The Clues. Wheatley also devised a number of board games including Invasion (1938), Blockade (1939) and Alibi (April 1953).
In 1957
The Curse of Frankenstein
was an overnight success, bringing Cushing worldwide fame. He continued to work together with Christopher Less in many films for Hammer, and their names became synonymous with the company. Cushing reprised the role of Baron Victor Frankenstein in five sequels.
