A favorite for many years it was actually filmed in 1964 (read the copyright at the beginning of the film just under the title sequence and also on the back of the VHS tape box. I am always amazed that Sean McClory was not billed as he had a substantial part at the beginning. Adam West and Linda (Lori) Saunders do well in the lead roles. A nice turn by Denver Pyle and a scenery-chewing role for Theodore Marcuse as the resident bad guy. It would be nice to see a remastered release in HD. Adam West was certainly busy in 1964 This, Robinson Crusoe On Mars, The Outlaws is Coming (another 1964 production, released in 1965) as well as Bewitched, The Outer Limits, I could go on... Anyway if you get a chance to see it, you will not be disappointed.
