This is another one I didn't actually catch up with until it was on TV or videocassette years later, I forget which. Price is clearly having fun in this and so do the viewers!Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053290865549099074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212867859094085036.post-82937371479246324042023-10-29T04:22:43.178-04:002023-10-29T04:22:43.178-04:00I have a nostalgic attachment to this one, having ...I have a nostalgic attachment to this one, having seen it in the theater as a kid. <br />I can see all its flaws now, but it's still a fun watch. I agree about Hull--he's outstandingly terrible. I love Charles Bronson's stoic Federal agent in this. Price said later that everyone tried to get to know Bronson during the shoot but he was determinedly aloof. I think of that now when I give it a rewatch, which is blushingly often. It's like movie comfort food for me, and of Price's lesser films it's one that doesn't embarrass him at all, in fact his presence elevates it.<br /><br />I'm enjoying your reviews!<br /><br />--Mark<br /><br /><br /><br />Mark Shawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212867859094085036.post-67395089166350057862021-10-12T13:03:02.196-04:002021-10-12T13:03:02.196-04:00Yes, Price's classy performance makes the pict...Yes, Price's classy performance makes the picture, and while the movie is flawed it does move at a good pace thanks to William Witney. <br /><br />"Verne Lite" is a good way of putting it!Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053290865549099074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212867859094085036.post-83589140531635692172021-10-12T12:04:59.387-04:002021-10-12T12:04:59.387-04:00I'm quite fond of this movie.

He played the evil genius so perfectly in so many 1960s and 70s films, always with humor and a twinkle in his eye. Not sure if I have seen this one, it seems like a familiar plot! <br />- Cangelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.com
