Art Gilmore, whose iconic voice narrated thousands of trailers from Dumbo to Rear Window to I Married a Monster from Outer Space, died recently from age-related causes at 98. Gilmore narrated over 2,700 trailers starting in 1950 and also served as a television announcer for The George Gobel Show, The Red Skelton Show, Mackenzie's Raiders, Men of Annapolis and Highway Patrol. As a memorial, take a trip down memory lane with two great trailers featuring Gilmore's voice after the jump.
The weather's getting a little cold and the sky is turning gray, so warm up with the trailer to the 1960s teens-on-the-beach film Where The Boys Are. "The screen jumps for joy with Glendon Swarthout's inside story of those uproarious Easter vacations."
And now, from the other side of the spectrum, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, which was 3-D just like every single movie today! "Starring Julia Adams, her beauty alluring even to the man-beast from the dawn of time!"
