Screenplay by Richard A. Guttman and John Hackett from a story by Richard A. Guttman. Produced by Fred Roos. Directed by Monte Hellman.
“Back Door to Hell” is available on DVD from Amazon.
In a New York Times review of a double bill (Dec. 10, 1964), Bosley Crowther called “Fate Is the Hunter” “a stupid, annoying film” and “Back Door to Hell” “a clinker of even lower degree.”

I withdraw my ‘guess’ for Monday’s actor – it’s not Johnny Monteiro – I ‘m not too sure (yet) who it is.

Thurs’ actor on the left of Jimmie Rogers in the first Thurs photo is Conrad Maga – we should see Jack Jack Nicholson on Friday.

I have to leave shortly, so I’ll say that I know that Jack Nicholson is today’s mystery person.
