Happy memories of the best elements of a 1950's film., 4 May 2001

In my opinion, what made sci-fi films of the 1950's good were easy to recognize good/bad characters, self-sacrifice of one character to save the others, and a monster or two. If you overlook the low budget monsters "spider and rock men" then I believe that you too will enjoy this film. The bad characters were both killed because of "greed and power-seeking" which is seen in many 1950's films. The good characters were almost killed but were saved because of self-sacrifice of one in the name of Love. So if you are after a lot of violence and special effects then this film is not for you. However, if a different type of story, with dialog and the background of good vs evil with good winning out is your "cup of tea" then this is your movie.
