Los Angeles CA 1962
A typical kids film of the era in most respects, but with inventively cheap effects that Bert Gordon was known for. He liked to play with scale, and so do I, so I enjoy looking at how he did things. I like the way his seams show. I also enjoy the very pleasing actor in the lead, Gary Lockwood, who went on to 2001 and Model Shop. It was his eighty first birthday, the other day, that prompted me to watch it again. He gets to show how superior a beefcake star he could have been had he chose that route.
