speaking of small bombs...
ReplyDeletebut seriously folks, i'd like to see this one. wonder if Sarah Palin has?...
bunch of remarks about this rare film: firstly it contains some beautifully shot scenery including some spectacular wild life shots. Secondly the music is first class. Given the blend of Alaskan scenery and ufo action, the music had to be fairly varied. The result is unique.
ReplyDeleteAlas, the plot and particularly the action is second class.
Overall I found it pleasant to watch and will keep it in my collection.
The Tagu Glacier was beautiful. There's probably not as much left of it now as there was in 1950. The sound track? Well, it wasn't coordinated very well with the action, example, they had violins playing when the hero's were heading for their supposed demise?, and the fight scenes were hokey. But it's a classic in other aspects, the planes, the clothing, the hairstyles, the chain smoking.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun watch.
