Claude Rains' worst part?This flick is a strong contender!Like his compatriots Bette Davis and Joan Crawford,he tries his hand at camp!Overacting is an euphemism.Wearing horrible glasses ,writing mathematical gibberish everywhere ,lazily lying on his hammock in his greenhouse,and ranting ceaselessly about the power of the army. .
A new war of the worlds is about to break out! The flying saucers are hardly superior to Ed Wood's stuff,but the "il pianeta degli uomini spenti" (Rains finds the place so fascinating he decides to stay there till he dies ,impending death anyway)shows painstaking film sets ,and there's a smart nod at Noah's Ark but the desultory script borrows a lot from the highly superior "Forbidden planet" .
Claude Rains' fans?Do they really have to choose this,among all his other films around?
