Hi, Everyone, You will enjoy this. The music is delightful as Tor Johnson dances into your heart. In some scenes Tor was too busy and could not do the scene so his stand-in, Joan Crawford, wore his snappy woolen pants and off white, short sleeve, expensive but subdued doctor's smock.
Two young kids are lost, they think. The dad is driving a 1950 Dodge. How could they not be lost? Wait... is that a cave? We'll be safe there. Oh no! Monster furniture in the cave! They do get to see a coyote who is a family pet of a lazy guy who charges them $3 for a tankful of gas and a new transmission. The other cars are a Valiant, about 1961, I guess. Those are the bad Russians driving that. The good U.S. Feds have a 1952 Ford two door station wagon. They have a chase scene in which neither car gets out of first gear.
A rabbit does the best acting in the movie. Watch for his scene. Tor is deft with his lines. Tor has always reminded me of Spencer Tracy. No, the rabbit reminds me of Spencer Tracy.
The script was probably one page. The hair dresser was apparently not available for the women in the desert scenes. Actually if you look at the credits, the good guy smartest deputy was the make-up artist. Larry Aten. How was he supposed to remember hairspray when he had to carry the rifle? I know, make-up is not the same as hair. Larry was also producing when he wasn't acting. I would guess that was most of the time he was on camera.
If you like good bad movies, this is one. You can talk to the screen throughout without missing any dialog. There are some pithy things said here and there you will want to write down. Watch it twice.
Other movies you might enjoy using with this for a double feature are, Bride of the Monster or Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill! Maybe give the DVD player a break and watch Sound of Music while you imagine two lost kids drinking out of a dirty lake somewhere in the middle of a desert near Yucca Flats.
This movie is definitely worth watching if you get it cheap.
