Do not get your hopes up. Classic serial of the period which would not be made today. Not a showstopper, but a step above a school performance. Stereotypes abound.

Reading the review it looks like it contains the fears of the post war America of when it was made; racism, paranoia etc...Petseri wrote:Do not get your hopes up.

Postwar in 1943? It does not have the "other world wanting to invade" elements of Cold War science fiction of the 1950s. It does deal with the war, so paranoia at the time is understandable. You are on the right track, though. Non-PC slurs from the period are used. Also, J. Carrol Naish (aparently of Irish descent) plays the Japanese antagonist (IMDB shows him portraying "Latin, Arab, and East Indian characters"Hom_Corleone wrote:Reading the review it looks like it contains the fears of the post war America of when it was made; racism, paranoia etc...Petseri wrote:Do not get your hopes up.

Regardless whether good or bad from a contemporary perspective, that was how it was released at the time. If you appreciate cliffhangers and realize that times were differnt 70 years ago, it is interesting. Definitely worth seeing if you like Batman.

Gawd it was poor, and we also watched The Lemmy Movie, with French subs (ta DR
). It was a movie about Lemmy with some guys from rock and also roll and Dave Brock and Nik Turner out of Hawkwind But!...... an auld Stacia did appear and get misty eyed about old Lem (apparently the name Lemmy wasn't short enough).
yeah those once mighty knockers are saggy and her face looks like three Land-Rovers have been over it, but what the hey!
it's called 'life' innit?

The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

Love that series. Navid Harrid running back to flick the v's at a roasting chicken in the new Hyperdales store and then running back again to buy one was a classic. The one where Victor buys a car is brilliant too.markfiend wrote:Still Game
