Talk:Billy Bevan

Resemblance

Nigel Bruce's "Dr. Watson" character can be confused with Billy Bevan's characters in two Sherlock Holmes films. Bevan played a constable in The Pearl of Death and a railway conductor in Terror by Night. He closely resembled the Dr. Watson character and some viewers, especially young children, might not have been able to tell the difference between the two.Lestrade (talk) 21:44, 4 February 2010 (UTC)Lestrade

Close call

In the article's image of Bevan with the ostrich, he's lucky that he didn't have his eye plucked out.Lestrade (talk) 13:09, 14 May 2010 (UTC)Lestrade

THE GOLF NUT(1927)/Mack Sennett Productions/.Directed by Harry Edwards/Billy Bevan,Vernon Dent,Alma Bennett/

OPENING TITLE CARD---"Some men chase golf balls when they get too old to chase anything else"

A posh country club receives a telegram to expect the arrival of Billy Divott--"Who talks a great game of golf". "Talks" is the operative word, as a golf match with the Mayor(Vernon Dent) quickly devolves into slapstick disaster.

The short concentrates on having golf balls land in the unlikeliest of places(sand trap;inside a sewer pipe) or Bevan trying to hit a ball out of the water hazard while balancing on a makeshift raft. Bevan eventually disturbs a hornet's nest, leading the entire country club population to seek shelter in the swimming pool. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.23.5.10 (talk) 14:03, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
