Here is a clue to my previous question:
"The bells,the bells"-from one film in which this actor was involved in.
Now that should help somebody CRACK it!

What's the reward? My weight in garlic?

"Whisky Galore"?

Surely you'd heard that the sun only Chinon the righteous?

Oh my God, Sam....that's bad, even for you. The pronunciation of Chinon is, er, cheen-ee-yon

Who the hell has promised you endless sun in Chinon?
What a swindle!

Chinon is a lovely place (we know it well), but this year our visit coincided with some crazy bicycle race between Saumur and Chinon, in which the streets of Chinon were filled with a mass of idiot cyclists. As it happened, the day we were in Chinon was 36 degrees, we ate a very nice quiche Lorraine at a pavement cafe, and I was able to trip over about 30 crazy cyclists who came too close to our table. I'm not complaining.

In fact, we are thinking about buying a house in (or close to) Chinon when I retire.

Cheers,

Graham

I just spent 2 rather wet and cool weeks in your country - near Chinon, actually. I want my money back as I was promised endless sun and blue skies...

Hi Graham,
quite funny (is that enough to make him a contemporary suspect...!!).
Did Mansfield react to this naive/stupid accusation?

No, he just buggered off back to the USA and continued his career there.

Mansfield was also a member of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, taking such parts as Sir Joseph Porter in HMS Pinafore. His association with JtR was also 'assisted' when a member of the public wrote a letter to a newspaper describing his performance in 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde', saying that anyone capable of such amazing feats on stage could also do the same things in real life!

No chance was he the Ripper!

Just as a bit of fun can anybody think of what links the Micheal Caine series with Mr Hyde and the more recent From Hell film?

Whisky became opium!

I think Mansfield died within 20 years of the Ripper murders but I don't know what from.

Hi sreid,
according to Wikipedia, he died of a liver cancer, 30 Aug 1907.
I guess he did not drink enough...
