Some questions about the promo video :
1. Who are the actors on the posters in the bedroom ?
2. Who is the actress in bed with Alice ?
3. What is the meaning of each characters ? (the guy in the coffin, the guy in a tuxedo with a peinguin mask,the doll in a wheelchair,the prowler, etc.....)

Far as I know, the actress in bed with Alice is his wife, Sheryl.

Hi Erickana,
As far as I can make out, the actors on the posters are:--
Edward G Robinson.
Humphrey Bogart.
James Cagney.
And ( ...I think...) Peter Lorre.
hope that's of some help!

Um no....
That was Mr Peter Lorre. One of the best actors ever. Not that the other three were hacks by any measure.
I hope it is clear why their images were included in the video. If not well...
just wow.

You're referring to the guy at 0.27. The guy at 1.08, 1.18 and 2.17, who I'm quite certain DaveJay is referring to,
is Cagney.

OK we are talking about two different shots. The very first close up is Peter Lorre. Yes the one with the repeated close up on the eyes is James Cagney.

...Hi all, (after only my second time watching the video...) I think it is the Cagney close up that Erickana was referring to....though I dunno....( I Don't have a "Timer" or "Stopwatch" available...).
Anyway, another (Interesting fact....I think....) Alice actually owns the original "Maltese Falcon" ( Humpty go-kart movie...) I read that he bought it ages ago (Proof lost in a long-ago burglary....naughty burglars...).
...and TOTALLY off topic, I can see a lot of Calico's mannerisms in sheryls "Acting"...
like mother like daughter, eh!!....you doity ratts!!

Yes, I find this stuff interesting too.
I think he mentions this again in Golf Monster.
He says he won the Falcon (one of two - I think - from the original props used in the film, successfully bidding in auction against an aggrieved David Jansen, (the actor from the 1960's TV series 'The Fugitive', latterly re-made as a movie starring Harrison Ford).
And as you rightly say, it was subsequently stolen by someone............................
