Der Geck Bleibt
Explore the mysterious sub-sub-genre of Bowling Noir, a dark world of seedy alleys, and shady dames...a world where the bowlers roll only gutterballs and 7-10 splits...there are no strikes or spares.

My favorite cinematic crimino-bowling scene is Boris Karloff (as Gaffney) in perfect evil form bowling in Howard Hawk's Scarface.

Yes, I love that scene! I totally missed that when I read the essay the first time.

Apparently there is a statue of him at the jet propulsion Lab . Werner Von Braun himself said he was the real father of Rockets. The story gets wierd when you find out he was more into the occult that Aleister Crowley...
