Summary:

The Mysteries is part of the film retrospective Unseen Cinema that explores long-forgotten American experimental cinema. Also made 16mm versions of "Oliver Twist", "Macbeth", and "Julius Caesar;" the last, also with Heston, brought both director and star to Hollywood. --David Shepard David Bradley started as a teenager to make and collect movies. His own productions began with the short, Dr. X (1936), and feature films, "Oliver Twist "(1940) and "Peer Gynt" (1941). On the strength of his amateur feature "Julius Caesar", Bradley was given a contract at MGM but only completed four commercial features. --Harold Casselton. Charlton Heston, age 17 and a student at Chicago's Goodman Theater, first starred in David Bradley's "Peer Gynt". Heston's long Hollywood career begins 1950 when he was discovered in Bradley's 16mm film of "Julius Caesar", filmed against Chicago public architecture. Always grateful to Bradley, Heston frequently acknowledged his cinema beginnings. --David Shepard.
