More on the Green Hornet #4


GH-4, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

Artwork showing Lolita appears in the booklet that was included along with the reels and which provides a synopsis of the story. (One wonders if Hubert Wells and Lolita were paid extra by View-Master, or if this was just another service that they had to perform as part of their being hired to appear in the episode.)

Money, or the lack thereof, might have been an issue in 1964 when View-Master produced a set of reels for the popular TV series BONANZA. A careful examination of image #1 on reel #1 reveals Ben, Adam, Hoss, and Little Joe all subtly “giving the finger” to the View-Master cameraman! (The Cartwrights ALWAYS stick together!) That particular set, which is now something of legend among View-Master collectors, was produced during the filming of the famous episode where Hoss orders a load of fireworks from China and receives instead a Chinese mail order bride.
