This film reminded me of the type films that played occasionally as a part of a drive-in triple feature,way back in 1957.
They generally were released by studios on the lower tiers of the studios. To give you an idea of how far down the list these studios were,
Republic, Monogram & Producers Releasing would be higher up on the list.
What we now have is a 2009 movie made in that style using a cast of not very well known players. The acting is done in the same weak style as they did back then & the same goes for the production values. This film was made in the Vancouver, Canada area..
They used to be made in the studio & the back lot and in black & white.
This is in glowing colour of the type they used in 1957.
The special effects in 1957 were on the 'cheezy' side & they aren't much better now.
I did not expect a real good film, In 1957 I did enjoy these for what they were. I enjoyed what I saw tonight in the same way. It definitely is worth a rental, By the way in the films of the '50's & earlier, people did properly dress as seen in the film.
I forgot to say who is cast: Eric Mccormick from some TV show has a nice double role as the lead. Robert Patrick is the only other known player.
R.W.Goodwin directed,James Swift & Stephan P.Fisher did the story & screenplay.
My rating probably is close to what it would have been in 1957, The film is not very good BUT it is likable.
Ratings: **1/2 (out of 4) 66 points (out of 100) IMDb 6 (out of 10)
