Historia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Rowland (born Heinrich Wilhelm von Bock; December 28, 1913 – April 26, 1984) was an American film and television actor.
Rowland's father left Germany before World War I began and became a professor of German at the University of Nebraska. Following the war, Rowland was educated in Germany through the secondary level. He returned to the United States and studied acting in Pasadena.
Rowland had heavily Teutonic facial features, making him an invaluable commodity in wartime films, even though he was born in the American Midwest. Rowland "heiled" and "achtunged" his way through a variety of films, ranging from Casablanca to Russ Meyer's Supervixens. Conversely, he showed up as an American flight surgeon in 1944's Winged Victory, billed under his Army rank as Corporal Henry Rowland. In his last years, Rowland had continued playing such Germanic characters as the Amish farmer in The Frisco Kid (1979).
He appeared six times on the western series Annie Oakley, starring Gail Davis and Brad Johnson. He was also cast in the television series Brave Eagle, Fury, The Lone Ranger, Zorro, The Rifleman, Tales of Wells Fargo (episode "Laredo"), and Gunsmoke.
For his contribution to the television industry, Henry Rowland has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6328 Hollywood Boulevard. CLR
Film póstumo de Russ Meyer, el documental “Pandora Peaks”, está basado en la figura de la bailarina de strip-tease que da título al film, poseedora de unas copiosas glándulas mamarias.
Amish Man

Martin Bormann
La historia (escrita por Meyer junto al famoso crítico de cine Roger Ebert) gira en torno al pobre Lamar Shedd (Ken Kerr), incapaz de hacer el amor mirando a la cara de su pareja. La increíble Lavonia (Kitten Natividad) intentará por todos los medios curarle de ese gran problema, lo que le llevará a más de un encuentro sexual con diferentes mujeres.

Tras pasar unas merecidas vacaciones en Francia, el agente secreto James Bond recibe una llamada del Jefe M para realizar una peligrosa misión relacionada con unos diamantes en bruto desaparecidos.
Otto
La historia sobre los problemas y ventajas de un trio femenino de rock para conseguir un lugar en el panorama de finales de los sesenta... En su primera película para un gran estudio, Meyer simplemente hizo lo que había venido ofreciendo durante años (esto es: chicas neumáticas, diálogos delirantes e incorrectos -escritos por el famoso crítico de cine americano Roger Ebert-, además de sexo y drogas por doquier) pero a lo grande. Así consiguió, pese a su clasificación X, uno de sus mayores éxitos.
German Soldier
Segunda Guerra Mundial (1939-1945). En vísperas del desembarco de Normandía, los alemanes capturan a un oficial de los servicios de inteligencia americanos y lo someten a un lavado de cerebro: le hacen creer que la guerra ha terminado hace años para obtener información sobre los planes de los aliados.
Circus Cook

Sgt. Wetzel
Sach and the gang (Bowery Boys) fool Nazis and a sultan in North Africa.
Roy

Harry

While Grady guards the claim, Brad goes to register it in town, where he meets and marries Jean Williams (Patricia Medina.) Returning to the claim, Brad learns that Jean was once Grady's fiancee. Grady, as one would expect, is somewhat put out and leaves the mine in Brad's hands, while he hooks up with a confidence man and engineers a scheme to break the back of Brad's somewhat rapidly-created mining empire.

Un granjero californiano tiene dos hijos, Cal y Aron, de caracteres muy diferentes, pero ambos compiten por el cariño de su padre. La situación de Cal se complica cuando averigua que, en realidad, su madre no sólo no está muerta, sino que además regenta un local de alterne.
Motorist in Park
A man wrongly imprisoned for murder breaks out of jail. He wants to clear his name, but with the police pursuing him, he's forced to take a beautiful young woman, driving a fast sports car, hostage and slip into a cross-border sports car race to try to make it to Mexico before the police get him.
Jim Larkin - Outlaw
In the last of his four western programmers for Allied Artists, Wayne Morris plays frontiersman Jim Bisby. Mistaken for a notorious gunslinger, Jim is appointed deputy sheriff of a wide-open cattle town. Playing along, our hero gets down to business -- and by the time his true identity is revealed, it hardly matters, since most of the bad guys are pushing up daisies on boot hill. Beverly Garland turns in another exceptional performance as the heroine, while Morris Ankrum, Roy Barcroft and I. Stanford Jolley fulfill their usual responsibilities. Two Guns and a Badge is of historical interest as the very last "B"-grade "series" western ever produced in Hollywood.
Williams
There's something to be said for finishing what you've started.

A band of masked vigilantes is laying waste to the countryside, and the storekeeper is blamed. Wild Bill saves the day by going undercover -- or under hood, as it were
Cheated Gambler
Bill Elliot emulates his idol William S. Hart in the superior western Topeka. Elliot plays the archetypal Good Bad Man, hired to kick the crooked element out of a small town. A hard-drinking, hard-living man, Elliot entertains thoughts of taking over the town himself for the benefit of his own gang. After several reels of soul-searching, Elliot decides to honor his promise to clean up the town for its decent citizens. Evidently director Thomas Carr rented a camera crane for this Allied Artists production, since the camera performs remarkable calisthenics, the kind not normally seen in a medium-budget western.
Hardy
Rebel City is a "B" western with "A" aspirations. Wild Bill Elliot plays gambler Frank Graham, who heads to Kansas in search of his father's murderer. This being 1864, the local military presence is more preoccupied with keeping Southern sympathizers out of the state to worry about Graham's problems. Thus, our hero undertakes the task of exposing the killer himself. As always, the least likely suspect is the guilty party (though sharp-eyed viewers were wise to the villain from the first reel). Marjorie Lord co-stars as Jane Dudley, the comely operator of the local freight line who helps Graham in his task. Producer Thomas M. Fennelly and director Thomas Carr later collaborated on the Richard Diamond TV series.
