The flavor of the time (1954) is captured well and there are a lot of eccentric characters and a lot of genuine laughs. Also an appearance out of retirement for Gloria Stuart (THE OLD DARK HOUSE, THE INVISIBLE MAN and, later, TITANIC) and her scene is quite moving.
One of the very first films my wife and I saw together and since it wasn't a school night,I suggested we see another one. She had enjoyed this one, so off we went -to see NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD  ! **** |
That's quite a double feature! Fluff of life and fluff of death.
