Title: Excellent transfer - mediocre film
Product review: I had never heard of this film and seeing it as an adult mayhave taken away some of the fun of it but I fail to see the fuss orthe reason that Criterion spent their time on this. It is a standard50's B film with good acting but the story moves very slow and issilly without any fun or campiness. As for the "specialeffects", they consist of what looks like plastic brains onspinal cords photographed in stop motion. On the plus side, thetransfer is crisp and the sound is great. Extra features include aninteresting commentary from the executive producer and a gallery oflobby cards and ads. Criterion does their standard quality jobhere.... Only for die hard fans only, I'm afraid. END
