As a dedicated and innovative site for classic movie goers, Loving the Classics often updates their movie database, specials and even their “featured player.” Monthly, Loving the Classics changes out their featured player and offers special discounts on a famous actor or actress from the 1920’s to the early 1960’s. Fortunately, May’s featured player is Larry Parks and customers have the opportunity to save 20 percent on all his films, all month long!
If those of you are unfamiliar with Larry Parks, his career hit the big time when he was given the role of Al Jolson in the biopic The Jolson Story, from 1946. However, he also gained much notoriety for something that had little to do with his acting credits. Parks admitted under pressure that he was once affiliated with the Communist Party. Although Parks unwillingly testified in 1951, he was still unofficially blacklisted. But Parks didn’t give up, his career continued on, both in the United States and internationally. Larry was often booked for stage performances at nightclubs with his wife Betty Garret. On the other hand, his film career never really fully recovered from his testimony.
Although Parks may have gone through a rough patch, he still managed to associate his name with many famous films from the past. Atlantic Convoy (1942), Emergency Wedding (1950), First Comes Courage(1943) and The Racket Man (1944) are just some of the films available on Loving the Classics for a whopping 20 percent off.
