Walk East on Beacon! (1952)
Communist CELL in the USA~ BETTER than you think
PLOT: Commy spies attempt to gain secrets.
a docu-drama style movie~ This starts as the FBI receive a hot trip about a Communist cell in Boston. WE see the newly arrived KGB contact played by Karl Stepanek who urges the spies to even more ruthless means to get secrets. Finley Currie as the Professor Kefer who is being black mailed by the spies with his son being captive in Berlin by the REDS. MADE with the cooperation of the FBI. Some of the men are actual FBI agents. BASED on story by J Edgar Hoover himself the Crime of the Century a short story in the Readers Digest. BETTER than I expected. Moves along very well and the ADDED "dedication" of the spies to the RED commy cause at times is comical and interesting. MADE at time of the RED SCARE (COMMUNIST) days of the 1950s. I give this 7 out of 10 for interesting COMMY spies inside the USA. Also recommend is the HOUSE on 92nd STREET.
The Barbarian and the Geisha (1958)
Worst John Wayne film ever...a real dog
I had high hopes for this film because it was one of the few John Wayne Films I had not seen. but it wins the "Worst John Wayne Films Ever Award." No plot or better yet lousy plot....American Diplomat (Wayne) attempts to put a dent in Isolationist Colonial Japan, toss in a Geisha, a Plague and you still have Zero. and to make this a real minus zero you have the wonderful John Houston directing...the Studios must have truly desperate for material for Wayne to have 'unloaded' this on him....the "only" good thing you can say is "it is too lousy for an updated sequal" for this looser film to snooze through .....I gave it a ~~Minus Five Stars~~ because Houston knew better, John Wayne should have known better.and you can avoid this lemon, unless you need a "nap."
The Land Unknown (1957)
so bad it is good!
a JUNGLE IN THE MIDDLE OF ANTARCTICA YEAH RIGHT! Monsters so badly done you will laugh out loud. NO one acting that ever made another movie. Janet Leigh 'wanna be' has her has lived in the JUNGLE and has her clothes in tatters but her HAIR IS PERFECT! the back ground Matts are the only good thing about this movie. and then after the Hero and Heroine escape jungles, monsters, traitors and months of hell the end is a Kiss on the Deck of a ship and he ask her if she will go back next year.....add this to the PLAN 9 LIST OF SO BAD IT IS GOOD! BUT ONLY ONCE!
