Just viewed the GREAT Ron Ely as "Doc Savage, Man of Bronze" (1975). You may well wince at the thought of this piece of movie ephemera but I love it!



This is a great big slice of hokum all wrapped up in complete baloney. I am not going to spoil it for the folk who've never clapped eyes on it but I have to say that the showdown between The Doc and Captain Seas is so infantile it's hilarious.

As George Pal's swansong it was a bit of a dead duck but it is still a bucket-load of Star-Spangled S*^t to be enjoyed with a peg on your nose.

There are no redeeming features to the film, it is truly awful, so awful that it becomes watchable for it's attempt at being camp and kitsch. Souza must be spinning in his grave at the thought of his music being attached to such a vehicle! This film is a gloriously overpolished turd of such dimensions that it deserves to be viewed!

17.35/5 (it gets the extra 0.05 just for the "eye twinkle" bit!

!!!Warning!!! DO NOT VIEW WHILST EATING POPCORN, THERE IS A DANGER OF CHOKING ON INHALED KERNELS EVERY 12 MINUTES (OR SO)!
