Huzzah!

4-D Man  (Universal International, 1959)

The man behind The Blob - Irvin Yeaworth - co-produced and directed his neat sci-fi flick that was a staple of my Saturday and Sunday afternoon movie watching in my childhood. Robert Lansing is a scientist who invents a process that allows a man to walk through walls. However, there's a side effect - each passage takes the subject into the fourth dimension (hence the title) and in there time is sped up - so the subject ages signifigantly with each pass through a wall. The scientist turns to crime - walking into vaults and such - but things get worse when he discovers he can suck the life force out of others - killing them - to regain his lost youth. The madman must be stopped!











A Force of One  (American Cinema Releasing, 1979)

I still haven't seen this early Chuck Norris romp - it's in the video vault though - but I did talk to James Whitmore Jr. about it when he was directing one of his myriad episodes of Dawson's Creek. He liked Chuck just fine - but the funniest thing he said was that Clu Gulager mumbles his lines so softly Whitmore never heard or understood a word he was saying - he just waited until Clu stopped speaking, then said his lines. Love that!








Hot Rod Hullabaloo  (Allied Artists Pictures, 1966)

Here's one I haven't seen - but I would have placed it ten or so years earlier - in the mid to late 1950's. Dig those crazy autos, daddio!








Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!
