Invisible Invaders (1959)
Invisible Invaders
Obviously, a cut above "Planet 9 from Outer Space". It has good suspense and adequate production quality for the time, genre, and apparently the film's low budget. I would have loved it at the Saturday coke-bottle-top matinée as a 10 year old. It probably inspired many a producer/director's subsequent "zombie" movie. All in all, a tedious 1950's "good U.S. earthlings versus the heartless alien invaders" movie, which can be appreciated only as campy fun. Unfortunately, todays alien invaders are more insidious, not so identifiable, but just as deadly. Sad to see John Agar, who was a pretty good actor given his prior work, in such a stinker.
The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse (1938)
The title says it all!
With a name like Dr. Clitterhouse, he should have been a gynecologist instead of an evil genius. I saw this title while looking up an old movie that I was watching, and, after guffawing, I wondered if those responsible for titling this picture were just having a go at the censors. It really sounds like it should be the corny title of a porno flick, no? Oh well, I thought Edward G. Robinson did a very good job, and my girl friend thought that he looked very much like her doctor, who is also very amazing, but not quite as amazing as Dr. Clitterhouse. I hope that someone considers doing a re-make of this movie just so I could gauge public reaction to the title. It sounds like it could be a good Steve Martin vehicle.
