Strange. I posted a little review of THE UNEARTHLY, but it didn't "take". So, again: As I was saying before it disappeared, I've seen worse. This is the movie where Tor Johnson utters his famous line, "Time for go to bed". In spots this reminded me of the French EYES WITHOUT A FACE, filmed a few years later. Despite plodding direction and a general Monogram-ish air of monotony (this does bring to mind that revered studio). there are some unexpected twists, including a finale in the basement that might remind you of ISLAND OF LOST SOULS. Carradine's mad scientist, although equipped with the necessary good manners to divert his "guests", is naturally impatient to hurry along his experiments in glandular research, aided by his female assistant who happens to be in love with him and is jealous of his next gorgeous guinea pig, the spectacular, smoldering Allison Hayes. There is a Tony Franciosa look and (over)act-a-like among the doctor's patients who seems to be auditioning for another movie. Message was edited by: Bronxgirl48 -

HAHAHAHA. Teach a course in horror and sci-fi movies. Just finished THE UNEARTHLY. So THIS is the movie with the famous Tor Johnson line "Time for go to bed". I've seen worse. Although direction is plodding, this actually reminded me in spots of the French EYES WITHOUT A FACE, filmed about five years later. and there's a finale that might remind you of THE ISLAND OF LOST SOULS. A few other unexpected twists are uplifting, despite the Monogram-ish air of monotony that hovers about. Message was edited by: Bronxgirl48 -
Nice photo of Burt at the piano. Little Sheba will have to stand in line. Which is worse, dying an old maid or marrying Sheriff File?

Now that I think about it, Tor didn't make a lot of movies. So he should be Star of the Week. Message was edited by: Bronxgirl48 -

I guess if Babs knew the perfume's name, she'd tell him, duh. Must be time for me to make some coffee, my brain cells are lagging. -

Yep. And we need to see more of John on TCM, like CAPTIVE WILD WOMAN, BLUEBEARD, and many, many others in the horror and sci-fi genres he did. -

What is it with these aliens, they're so randy. Mel Welles too in ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS talks about running amok with the ladies. Although how he can do that inside a giant crab is beyond me. Ah yes, Morris Ankrum and Tom Browne Henry. Wasn't Tom in THE THING THAT COULDN'T DIE? -

Sorry to hear about your parents' relationship. I know this isn't the noir thread, but I'm wondering what the perfume is that Fred likes on Barbara in DOUBLE INDEMNITY. She tells him she "bought it in Encinada". -

She unsettingly looks like Bogie's battlin' wife Mayo Methot. -

I will not rest until THE BOWERY BOYS MEETS THE MONSTERS takes its rightful place in the TCM pantheon! I will fight for MAN MADE MONSTER and WEIRD WOMAN! It is a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and THE ASTOUNDING SHE-MONSTER. Message was edited by: Bronxgirl48 -
Can't wait to see SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON tomorrow. I saw some of LITTLE BIG MAN. Entertaining. I liked Chief Dan George, and this must be Dustin Hoffman's least-annoying performance.

Whoa! LOVE that gorgeous close up of Duke in FORT APACHE!
