Really a cool dude. Played in a lot of good character roles

MandyLovesVintageMandyLovesVintageMar 22, 2011

I really enjoy his acting. I just purchased 'Blondie Johnson' starring Joan Blondell, and seeing him play the character he did really changed my view on him.

Why was chester morris not offered the the boston blackie tv series?

k`tMar 14, 2010

I never really saw the Boston Blackie movies when younger. I now watch them on Sundays and really enjoy them. As the saying goes the goood old days

Frank ChimientiOct 21, 2008

during the early 40`s always enjoyed a Chester Morris movie, especially the "Boston Blackie" movies, with the Runt and Farraday, etc. He was always, colorful and very entertaining. He was part of the times; now this or his character seems rather dated?
