Peter Moore was regarded by the parents as a kindly local businessman who was trying to pump life back into a number of cinemas which he owned in North Wales. These were not modern Multi-Plex theatres, but the old-fashioned "Flea pit" type of Picture house that many of us of a certain age will remember from our youth. He was known locally as "the Man in Black" because of his habit of dressing exclusively in black clothing.

These days it’s sometimes hard to remember that Steven Seagal actually had a career in big-budget movies; he was a star in movies that actually played movie theaters all over the world, and were produced and distributed by Warner Brothers.

“The Glimmer Man” was one of his final theatrical releases, before the comeback -- sort of -- in Robert Rodriguez’s “Machete”, in which he’s great as the main bad guy. And to be honest, it feels a tad odd watching “The Glimmer Man” after plowing through buckets of Seagal's direct-to-DVD-fare.
