Someone must have gotten the director a new camera dolly for Christmas, the office scenes are like a ride at an amusement park! And the cutaways, those were some sharp editing scissors. Funny thing, soon as I saw this was based on "The Gods Hate Kansas" I remembered the James Franciscus TV movie that was a later retelling of the story. I didn't put it together until the doctor scene and the head plate. Do any government people in England still do the bowler hat? Or is that strictly a stereotype now?
JSL: It's actually better than I was giving it credit for being. Just the old Bentley cruising around is worth the watch. I wasn't aware at first that the director was Freddie Francis of Hammer film fame and that made for interesting viewing as well. And then Michael Gough showed up and did a bit of overacting. To cap it off there's the wacky 60s music that kept things going too. The only letdown was the overall story. Go figure!
