L. Mencke...All I really think of when I think of H. L. Mencken is Gene Kelly as "E. K. Hornbeck" in the 1960 film Inherit the Wind (about the Scopes Monkey Trial). They changed everyone's name ever-so-slightly so that you still basically know who everyone's supposed to be (William Jennings Bryan becomes "Matthew Harrison Brady," Clarence Darrow becomes "Henry Drummond," etc.). I found it interesting that Gene Kelly did a normal dramatic role that didn't have him singing and dancing and everything. He was quite good (if still not as good as Spencer Tracy and Frederic March in the two lead roles).Little Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415022026000282965noreply@blogger.com
