Exclusive: Thompson Turner Productions, the Broadway and touring general management and producing office whose clients include The Book of Mormon, Tom Stoppard’s Leopoldstadt and the upcoming Merrily We Roll Along starring Daniel Radcliffe and Jonathan Groff, will now be known as Tt Partners, the company announced today.

The new name comes six years after the death of co-founder Stuart Thompson, and with the upping of general managers Rebecca Habel and Adam Miller to partners in the firm.

Co-founder David Turner remains a partner. Joe Baker, husband of the late Stuart Thompson whose producing credits include the Tony-winning The Inheritance, remains a partner in Tt Partners and President of Stuart Thompson Productions.

Thompson founded Stuart Thompson Productions in 1993, and began working with Turner in 2008. They formed Thompson Turner Productions in 2015.

“Our new name honors Stuart’s legacy while also welcoming our longtime colleagues Rebecca Habel and Adam Miller as leaders within the company,...

It’s time for Sasappis to take center stage. This Thursday’s Ghosts (CBS, 9/8c) shines the spotlight on the show’s resident deadpan spirit, who opens up about his desire to be a storyteller while he was alive. That love of weaving a tale prompts Sas to offer his help to Sam with the copy for the B&b’s website, revealing a surprisingly enthusiastic side to the normally sarcastic and dry ghost.

“We see more about what Sas is passionate about, which is exciting because for a lot of the show, we see what he doesn’t like,” his portrayer Román Zaragoza tells TVLine.

Under the radar comedy western from director Andrew McLaglen starring Dean Martin, Brian Keith and a surrealistic supporting cast including Honor Blackman, Ben Johnson and football star/announcer Merlin Olsen. The convoluted farce focuses on the last hurrah of bandit Joe Baker (Dino) before he settles down to married life.

I use to love watching this movie as a kid and as an adult, I still enjoy it just as much. I had to originally do a search as I had no idea what the title of this movie was but was overjoyed to be able to watch it again when I found out the title. “Waxwork” is a classic B style horror movie that isn’t cringe-worthy but very enjoyable to watch. It was one of the few motion pictures that Vestron at the time actually produced. It was made available in an R-rated and an unrated edition from them. It is available on DVD by Lionsgate.

After four years in Obama's America, with its knee-jerk political correctness and diversity initiatives, it's downright refreshing to see a film with a jovial, good-natured attitude towards sexual slavery, being raped at gunpoint, and what can only be construed as Stockholm Syndrome. All of those things are present in Something Big, a genial western comedy starring Dean Martin and Brian Keith, and all are treated with the same gravity as Martin's easy-going antics. It's an otherwise insignificant film made horrifying by its comedic detours.

All his life, Joe Baker (Martin) has wanted to do 'something big' (a phrase repeated no less than 12,000 times over the course of this movie). He's decided that this big thing involves a gatling gun (still a rare commodity in the west), but the only way to get one is to buy it from Jonny Cobb (Albert Salmi), and the only payment he'll accept is a...

Joe Baker and his arch-nemesis race across the virgin American wilderness and try to kill each other in a search for gold. One of about 61 films its director made that year (1912), 13 minutes long, silent, forgotten, and French, Jean Durand’s Le railway de la mort should be a great American classic. But maybe it could only be French: the two men, nearly indistinguishable from each other, occupy far backgrounds beyond swaying wheat stalks and shimmering swamps, as indifferent figures to the landscape as they are to Durand. The human tale is purely existential, in the pettiest ways—the men are nothing more than bodies trying to kill each other and get gold—as the nature ode is totally romantic in the sublimest.

Apparently the Super Friends set Warner Brothers released a little while back was encouraging enough to warrant further plunging into the depths of their animation vault. Now, you can complement the other set with The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show, a now-marginalized character in the DC canon. The more avid comic book fans amongst us will recognize the red, yellow and black spandex clad hero, but for the newcomers amongst us he’s essentially the original Mr. Fantastic, he stretches into any number of shapes to fit the needs of the moment. Debuting almost exactly twenty years before the Fantastic Four, Plastic Man (Michael Bell) has a more comical twist with villains like the plant-loving Weed or a militant clam and friends helping him along the way like Hula Hula (Joe Baker) and the “plastic elastic loverboy’s” oft neglected girlfriend, Penny (Melendy Britt).

Visually, many people will find Plastic...
