Leonard Nimoy will join others Thursday, March 9th, to celebrate the career of B-movie producer Jack Broder at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. Broder, a Russian-Polish immigrant, came to America in the 1920s and established a successful chain of movie theatres in Detroit before earning the distribution rights to the Universal Pictures library in 1947. He then parlayed that success in distribution into a foray in production with a string of films in the 50s and 60s, ranging from horror to sci-fi to crime dramas, all released under his Realart Pictures banner.
The Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood will present a Tribute to Jack Broder on Thursday with a double feature of Kid Monk Baroni and Bela Legosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla. Nimoy took on his first starring role in the film, about "Kid" Monk Baroni, the leader of a street gang who becomes a professional boxer to escape his life in "Little Italy" New York. The film also stars Bruce Cabot, Allene Roberts, Mona Knox and Jack Larson, who
went on to fame as Jimmy Olsen in The Adventures of Superman.
In
between the two films there will be a discussion with Leonard Nimoy, Jack Larson
and Mona Knox from Kid Monk Baroni and Judd Bernard, the unit publicist on Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla. The second film stars, of course, Bela Lugosi, and the Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis
lookalike team of Duke Mitchell and Sammy Petrillo, not to mention several
gorillas and a chimpanzee.
Tickets are $9 for the double feature and Q&A and can be purchased at Fandango or the Egyptian Theatre box office, at 6712 Hollywood
Boulevard in Hollywood. The event starts at 7:30 pm.
