LOUIE BITES THE DUST IN GHOST SHIP

Lawrence Tierney in GHOST SHIP circa 1943

Everyone buys the farm. It's always for sale. And in GHOST SHIP, Robert Dix, as a nefarious Captain, has to silence the loudest instigating complainer of the crew.

"Of course I didn't like him: He’s a sea lawyer full of windy complaints, seasoned with bad comedy.” Those are last words. Not Louie's, but the man who makes sure he doesn't complain any longer.

KILL OR BE KILLED is an action/adventure programmer starring Lawrence Tierney, taking a break from the Noir/Gangster genre and playing a friendly, roving handyman falsely accused of murdering the owner of a jazzy joint that promises "Genuine Blondes," after which Tierney's hunted Robert Warren hides out in the South American jungles, where the story really begins...

Here Lawrence Tierney's Louis from THE GHOST SHIP circa 1943 takes a break with the boys with a cup of coffee in two pics, and in two others he's preparing to probably scrub the decks and getting the soapy water ready in the bucket, or something.

In THE GHOST SHIP, Lawrence Tierney's Louie is a bit of a joker, and he pretends to play that... Greek instrument, kind of a flute bagpipe, and can't get a note out. But he tries... at least he can say that much.

Here, the second barrage of several post from THE GHOST SHIP circa 1943, produced by Val Lewton and taking place on a chilly titular vessel in the fog shrouded seas, Lawrence Tierney is shown working hard, but not without complaints... His vocal Seaman Louis Parker doesn't like the Captain one bit... Within twenty minutes he'll let his gripes be known... Big mistake...

FIRST OF LAWRENCE TIERNEY IN THE GHOST SHIP

Val Lewton's production of GHOST SHIP has Lawrence Tierney playing the mouthiest of sailors going up against the captain played by Richard Dix. Although here Larry stands by the muscular mouthpiece. Later on, LT gets his words in... And so here's the first of many pics to come on DILLINGER KID...

THE PEACEMAKER

Lawrence Tierney in SILVER BULLET

SILVER BULLET is an overlooked Stephen King adaption adapted by King himself from his book CYCLE OF THE WEREWOLF, a subtle old fashion style horror flick about a wheelchair bound boy played by Corey Haim, his cool uncle Gary Busey, and a mob of angry townsfolk not happy that residents are being mutilated... And keeping peace in the local tavern is Lawrence Tierney wielding a bat called Peacemaker... He's a real tough guy and would give the WALKING TALL sheriff a run for his money... But when he goes up against a lunar activated antagonist, well... Let's just say the big man can't stand a chance, and his bat winds up in the trash... And now who will run the bar? Perhaps the guy who served Gena drinks in GLORIA?

Never bring a bat to a Wolf Hunt
