Thanks for posting this

I enjoyed Peter and his brother James in their various roles and I just learned some things about their background that I never knew.

The only time I was ever truly frightened by a movie was when I saw The Thing played by James when I was about 10 or 11 years old...scared me so bad I was afraid to leave the movie and walk home.

Whiplash TV Series 1959-60

Graves means a lot to Aussie Boomers whose folks had TV in the 50s (introduced in 1955) playing the role of legendary American Christopher Cobb the guy that introduced the stage coach mail delivery to Australia during the gold rushes. The series was called Whiplash and was filmed nearby my home in the suburb of Frenchs Forest at (the now departed) Artransa Park Studios.
