{"product_id":"cross-current-volume-2","title":"Cross Current - Volume 2","description":"Gerald Mohr plays Christopher Storm, the owner of a Viennese hotel who becomes embroiled in political intrigue in this long-lost TV drama! \u003ci\u003eCross Current\u003c\/i\u003e originally aired as part of \u003ci\u003eForeign Intrigue\u003c\/i\u003e, a series that began in syndication starring Jerome Thor. After two seasons, he was replaced by James Daly, while Mohr took over in the show's fourth and final season (the change of star also meant a change in character and locale.) Thor's episodes were later rerun as \u003ci\u003eDateline Europe\u003c\/i\u003e, while the third season with Daly became \u003ci\u003eOverseas Adventure\u003c\/i\u003e. Mohr's aired as \u003ci\u003eCross Current\u003c\/i\u003e, and took full advantage of being shot in bombed-out post-World War II Stockholm. The New York-born Mohr was best known for his distinctive voice, and was a member of Orson Welles's Mercury Theatre in the 1930s. He played Philip Marlowe in over 100 radio shows, and provided the voice of the villainous Scorpion in Republic's \u003ci\u003eAdventures of Captain Marvel\u003c\/i\u003e (1941). By the 1950s he had become a solid leading man in 'B' pictures, specializing in sci-fi flicks like \u003ci\u003eInvasion USA\u003c\/i\u003e (1952) and \u003ci\u003eThe Angry Red Planet\u003c\/i\u003e (1960). In the 1960s, Mohr resumed his voiceover work, playing superheroes on \u003ci\u003eThe Fantastic Four\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Superman\/Aquaman Hour of Adventure\u003c\/i\u003e (both 1967-1968). Ironically, at the end of his life, he had returned to Stockholm, where \u003ci\u003eCross Current\u003c\/i\u003e had been shot years prior. He died there of a heart attack in 1968. \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFORGED PLATES: \u003c\/b\u003eThe first \u003ci\u003eCross Current\u003c\/i\u003e episode, directed by series creator Sheldon Reynolds.
