About this title

Synopsis

This is the HARDBACK version. Paul Frees was more than the voices of Boris Badenov, The Pillsbury Doughboy, your Ghost Host in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion and narrator on classic films like The Manchurian Candidate and The Shaggy Dog. He was also an accomplished artist, as these paintings show, and reveled in many other artistic avenues including furniture making and songwriting. This book is the first collection to assemble Paul Frees' many writings-scripts and lyrics-unearthed only recently, and never before seen by the public. Includes a full-length screenplay, The Demon from Dimension X, and unused material written for Spike Jones! This 2nd edition also contains the teleplay, Freddy, never before seen!
