Looking everybit of 65, died 14 years after this drivel was shot. Can you imagine if anyone looked this bad at 43 today? No wonder they call 45 the new 30.Birch died in 1969 like I said, probably of embarrassment over this film. About the only tidbit it has going for it, Forrest Ackerman of Famous Monsters of Filmland fame, was a prop man working the strings of the space noodle. Don't expect this one to give 2012 a run for its money. It's DOA against just about anything on celluloid.I can't blame MGM that tried to capitalize on the movie monster craze with no capital, $10 effects and less put into the script, but Corman did this better with just as little money and left over film from a previous shoot. Sam Z.ARKOFF makes Ed Wood look like Cecil B DeMille. I told my cousin I was saving my 35 cents when he asked if I wanted to go to see this movie in 1955. Sometimes you just smell disaster, even in the days before you read critics.I have a feeling this freak show never made it to Mystery Science Theatre 3000 because, there isn't enough to hang either mystery, science, or anything else on. I don't even remember Zacherle doing this trash on WOR. Of course, memory fails. Just like this movie.

Bless the hearts of those who tried to make a film when they made this. Not even good.

What a weird, badly done movie. Why in the world did the Futurama people decide to lampoon this movie? O.o

A true cheese classic. Very funny, and worth sitting through for a laugh. Part of what is so funny is, that although there is some bad acting, they are very sincere and dramatic in their approach.

The only redeeming quality of this bad film is the 2 minute seen where Chester Conklin gets to do some of his silent movie bits. It is refreshing after slogging through the rest of this heavy handed film.
