Alan Hale


Wasn't Alan Hale great as Ed Munn-?
He and Stanwyk were great.

Yeah, he was good. And I just looked him up and saw he was the Skipper's (Gilligan's Island) dad-in real life. Who knew?!

reply

He had a very prolific career-mostly alongside Errol Flynn
You must be quite young,only learning now his connection to the Skipper-who went by Alan Hale Jr while his pop was alive.

reply

Errol Flynn? Who's that? 😃 But, nope, I never would have known the Skipper had a famous father until I read your post.

Surely you jest?....I assume you tune into TCM often-Alan Hale will pop up all the time,especially during"The Essentials" films.
The last "Essential" I saw him in was "It Happened One Night"-with Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable-thats a film to watch if you haven't.

I agree his character was certainly convincing as well as Miss Stanwyk's . Thanks
