I caught about a minute of this movie last night and don’t even know what channel it was on. Vincent Price appeared to be in some kind of workshop/factory where perhaps lamps were being made. There were a bunch of unfinished lamp bases on a table in front of him and he picked one up and looked at it. I think a floor lamps was knocked over somehow, too. Good, Lord! Good luck with this one. For all I could see, maybe they were baseball bats! Sorry that’s all I have. ---

Will work on it . . . was it black and white, or color? Was he in modern dress, or period costume? ---

Black and white, not great film quality; clothing wasn’t “costumey.” Thanks! ---

Last Man on Earth, maybe? I know I caught bits of that while I was channel surfing. ---

> [@Johnny\_Q](#): > > Last Man on Earth, maybe? That’s the one I thought of, as it is in a modern setting and gets some airplay. I haven’t pulled out the DVD though. ---

Hey, thanks, Johnnies! I’m just going to go with this; otherwise, I’d have to view the entire thing, just looking for that one scene. It seems kind of cool, though. Nice work! ---

Holy Crap! You guys are great! I’m watching it on imdb and the first shot shows the map that I remember seeing! Well done! ---

I was going to play the DVD eventually, to see if the scene was in there. I’m glad **Johnny Q** ’s (and my unposted hunch) were what you needed. ---

“Last Man on Earth” Was the first movie version of Richard Matheson’s “I Am Legend.” Matheson himself wasn’t happy with the film, particularly because he thought the part called for a more rugged, macho hero. ---

Well, he did kinda lisp. But that was how he got you, by thinking he was just some sissy boy from St. Louis. And then he ripped out your heart.
