After Maj. Nelson dreamed of Jeannie and before J.R. Ewing struck oil, the man who played them directed this silly movie (and has a small role in it). It basically has someone bringing the blob back from the North Pole, it gets defrosted, and...well, you can probably guess what happens from there.
"Beware! The Blob" definitely looks like the sort of movie that they made for fun. You can't take it seriously any more than you can take "I Dream of Jeannie" seriously (no offense to "IDOJ"; I love that show). The point is, this is one movie that you have to just accept as nice, goofy fun; it doesn't pretend to be anything else.
