Beatty & O’Brian

Posted By on September 18, 2011

An off camera shot of Clyde Beatty and Pat O’Brian looking over what is supposed to be a script. The photo was taken in 1954 on the Warner Bros studio back lot during the making of the movie “Ring of Fear”starring both Beatty and O’Brian. Screen writer Mickey Spillane wrote the following story line….” A homicide killer escapes from an institution and joins the circus where he causes havoc”…… Sort of sounds familiar?………. Clyde’s friendship with Pat began in 1933 during the filming of the”Big Cage”. This movie was the first of six that Clyde Beatty starred in. “Lost Jungle” 1934 Mascot Productions,”Darkest Africa”1936 Republic Studio,”Africa Screams” 1948 with Abbott & Costello ,”Perils of the Jungle”1953 Loppert Studio and “Ring of Fear” 1954 Warner Bros.
