A mysterious figure known only as PAX (Richard Lyford) begins sending messages to the world, threatening catastrophic events if war is not abolished. When PAX's threats are ignored, strange environmental disasters strike.
AS THE EARTH TURNS is a restored film from 1937. Mr. Lynch wrote, produced, directed, and edited this opus, all independent of Hollywood. His use of miniatures and special effects are novel and effective, especially considering the lack of any real funding for the project. The "train wreck", ""flooding", and "earthquake" sequences are fairly well-realized. The characters are perfectly stereotypical, with PAX being the most animated. Mr. Lyford plays him with gusto!
Is it cheeezy? Sure, but that's to be expected with a production such as this. Just enjoy it for what it is: A fun movie for lovers of rescued "lost" films...
