A "B" Movie Finds Some Excellence
19 June 2006
A "10" !!! for this movie you say! I've seen something you haven't - some pre-release material for a new DVD devoted to this title slated for Fall 2006 release to be released by Grapevine Video of Phoenix, Az. It contains an organ score so good that it seems to be part of the emulsion of the film. Blaine Gale's beautifully inspiring score was recorded at the newly restored Wurlitzer at the Peery's Egyptian Theater in Ogden, Ut. But get this - it was recorded using Ray Kimber's fantastic IsoMike system which has to be heard to be believed. The titles for TRAPPED have been cleaned up and the transfer to DVD of the film comes from the finest known elements available (16mm). If somebody knows where a good 35mm print of this title is, let Grapevine know. The disc contains a fascinating commentary track that enhances this "hilarious artifact from a by-gone era". The film so blatantly full of vicious anti-Mormon propaganda, now stands in a new light and is seen for what it was (is) and the whole experience is unintentionally hilarious. Watch for this one.
