Percy Marmont lived to be 93 in 1977...


the gentleman who played Caypor, lived to be 93 years of age.

He was quite a matinee idol in his time, he was 6 feet tall. You can tell that in the film.

He died in 1977, nearly blind, in london.
His real life wife died 8 years later and lived to 100 years of age.

The Marmont street where the Chateau Marmont street is, is named after Percy!

I own this DVD and was sad when they pushed his character over the cliff. Felt very bad for the dog too.

Imagine the film is 80 years old and it still has an impact!!!
