Greg Delaney, Artist and Actor

Greg Delaney

Curtains, a film noir

On Saturday, August 12th, my husband (whom I fondly call Lord Nin) and I ventured out to Capital Hill. After wandering around the wonderful antique shops, we attended a sneak preview of a film noir named Curtains created by Bob Allen, with Greg Delaney as one of the cast members.

Curtains, is a murder mystery set in Seattle in the fall of 1948. The following is a synopsis from Curtain's website: During the final days of World War II, the Allies were finding caves loaded with Nazi loot: art, diamonds and gold bullion worth millions of dollars on the black market. Five GIs - Jerry Allen, George Walker, Stan Goddard, Lewis Riley, and Sonny "Angel" Carmen - smuggled some priceless stolen artwork out of Germany and into the United States. Lewis, Stan and George become Hollywood movie producers, while Sonny disappears without a trace and is presumed dead. But what happens when not all goes as planned? A buyer for the stolen paintings made contact with Jerry Allen. It appears the deal of a lifetime is about to be made... but the specter of death hangs overhead. To complicate matters, a private investigator with a drinking problem - Dick Woodrow - is hired by a seductive and dangerous dame full of secrets- Helen Dean - to locate Jerry Allen. The investigation attracts an FBI agent - Harry Weinshack - and a beautiful Russian spy - Valentina Romanova - and everyone has a private agenda.

Greg Delaney deliciously plays Stan Goddard, a dastardly Hollywood movie producer desperate for his big score. One of a group of soldiers who made it out of WWII with a dark secret, he's ready to hit it big and nothing better stand in his way.

Quoting the website, and mirroring my own sentiments “Curtains is, above all, a labor of love; and proof that a quality product can be made successfully and - most of all - independently from the Hollywood circuit.”Be sure to check out Curtain’s website at http://curtainsfilmnoir.com/ for more information!
