  1. Just finished watching the tape of PUPPET PEOPLE, and I had forgotten THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN was playing at the drive-in where Agar takes Kenney (Thanks, BronxGirl). I noticed two odd things about that drive-in scene. The oddest is that anyone would take his date to such a movie, saying he was "tired of the usual stuff" or whatever it was, But then, as they are making out, we hear the Colossal man yell out "I'm not growing, you're shrinking!" There was something Freudian about that ...

  2. Oh sure, I told her how much I liked Rhonda Fleming and even sent her Ms. Fleming's website.

    I don't know who I look like, but I have more hair than Mr. Nicholson, and I don't look as Italian as I really am.

  3. I haven't see PUPPET PEOPLE for some time, but I did record it the other night. I'll have to check it out later. If I remember correctly, in EARTH VS. THE SPIDER, there is a theater showing PUPPET PEOPLE, and a reference to it in that movie ... same producer, I believe.

     

    Hoyt constructed Puppet Potties, as I recall. OK, I made that up too.

  4. Yes, that bright red blood on the rabbits and the victims was quite the sight.

     

    I have two more questions about this movie.

     

    First, why is the Army called in when they act so useless? This appeared to be stock footage, and at one point, we hear one of the soldiers say "here comes another one" while a horde of rabbits is charging through the woods.

     

    Second, where are all the rabbit droppings?

  5. The "double talk" scenes in this movie are hysterical. I love the auction scene where Bogart offers "two gees" for an item and Conrad Veidt replies "two gees .. uh, two thousand." The supporting cast is wonderful. Let's also mention Dame Judith Anderson, Ludwig Stossel, Ed Brophy, Wally Ford, Phil Silvers, and Barton MacLane ... love it when MacLane grabs a Nazi and says "Alright, sing!" and the Nazi says "what," and MacLane says "God Bless America!" Total entertainment all the way from beginning to end.

  6. CM, those are interesting female choices. I pick Mari Blanchard in Abbott and Costello Go to Mars, even though the film stinks. She's fun to look at, but then again, I'm a typical MAN.

     

    Hillary Brooke always look good .. it was fun to see her in color, as a pirate, in Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd.

  7. Just a correction: William Bendix was not in Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer. You are confusing him with Alan Mowbray.

     

    The teams later movies (several of which you mention) were definitely not up to par with their early efforts. Some of their other clunkers were Comin' Round the Mountain, Lost in Alaska, and Abbott and Costello Go to Mars (when they actually go to Venus).

  8. What was that weird "glub glub" sound everytime the rabbits were on the march? Did you notice they all stayed on the state highway?

     

    I think DeForest Kelley should have played a doctor. With all the mutilated bodies piling up, it would have been nice to hear him say "He's dead, Jim," just once for old time's sake.

     

    Stuart Whitman was responsible for creating these giant rabbits in the first place, with his "serum" or whatever it was. Yet, nobody seemed to care. His next mistake was going into the cave to photograph the rabbits before the entrance was dynamited. However, at least his photography was good for nostalgia buffs ... did you notice the flashcubes on his camera? Younger viewers would have no idea what that was.

     

    Oh, and did you catch the movie playing at the Drive-In? Bunny Lake is Missing. Ok, I made that part up.
