7/10
Simple but effective suspense thriller
22 November 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Seeing this film is just one of a slu that always brings back good mem- ories of my youth/teen days in 60's America. One of the delights of this film is the actors used, like George(Route- 66)Maharis, Dana Andrews (Laura),Richard Basehart(T.V.+ Films), Frank Sutton(Gomer Pyle), Ed Asner,....I could go on. Anne Francis-Forebidden Planet, what more can I say? If you wonder where the outside locations were shot, see the films: Its a Mad Mad World, and or Lillies of the Field. We lived in Ontario, Calif. and going not far out you ran into Mt. Baldy and roads like in these films. The spoiler(?)Why waste a Bio-Weapon on three guys, but then again the henchmen are supposed to be nuts anyway. Music by Jerry Goldsmith,directed by John Sturges who also had with him Robert Surtees, who did The Hallelujah Trail the same year. then you have the story from Mclean.
