"Nightwing" is one of those rare movies that is far more entertaining than it should be, and most definitely the film never allows a few facts to get in the way of imaginative story telling. It has a plethora of misinformation regarding vampire bats. Nevertheless "Nightwing" has some of the finest southwestern landscapes on display, and a terrific and appropriate score by Henry Mancini. It should also be mentioned that Strother Martin delivers a colorful supporting performance in one of his last films. Though lacking in the logic department, I still consider this to be one of the best bat movies, because despite it's faults the film is interesting. - MERK
