The John Saxon Blogathon Is Here – Day 1 Recap

 

Welcome to Day One of the John Saxon Blogathon! When my excellent co-host Gill Jacob of Realweegiemidget Reviews suggested Mr. Saxon as the subject of a blogathon, my ears perked up, since he’s been on my radar for years as one of my favorite character actors. Whether he’s the hero or the villain, his performances always command our attention. Gill and I are proud to present the first batch of posts, showcasing the talents of this talented and versatile performer.

 

If you’ve signed up, but your post isn’t ready, fret not. We’ll post your link on Day Two or Three (as well as Tuesday’s Wrap Up post.). And of course, latecomers are also welcome. Post a comment below, email me at barry_cinematic@yahoo.com, or reach me on Bluesky (@barrycinematic.bsky.social), Instagram (@barry_cinematic), or Twitter (@barry_cinematic). You may also contact Gill by commenting on her post, through her blog’s Contact Me page, or on Bluesky (@realweegiemidge.bsky.social).

Here are Day One’s submissions below, and remember to drop by Saturday and Sunday for recaps of Days Two and Three, along with a final recap on Tuesday.

The great and powerful Stately Wayne Manor from On Manor’s Mind and Manor on Movies brings us his personal recollections of meeting John Saxon, along with a review of Saxon’s stunning debut, The Unguarded Moment (1956).

Ginny from The Wonderful World of Cinema raids the treasure of motion pictures from yesteryear to bring us her review of The Plunderers (1960)

Eddie from The Film Authority reviews A Special Cop in Action (1976).

Don’t be too afraid to check out The Craggus’ take on Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (1994)

Goregirl from Goregirl’s Dungeon takes a peek at Violent Naples (1976) 

Black Cats and Poppies visits Planet Earth (1974),

… And last but not never least, you’re sure to get a charge from reading Gill’s (from Realweegiemidget Reviews) illuminating look at The Electric Horseman (1979).

See you tomorrow, folks!
