One of my sci-fi/horror/fantasy reviews written 50 years ago: Directed by Andrew Marton; Produced by Stanley Colbert for Ivan Tors Films, released by Columbia Pictures. Screenplay by Art Arthur and Arnie Kogen, from Leonard Kaufman's story; Photography by Howard Winner; Edited by Erwin Dumbrille; Music by Samuel Matlovsky. Starring Soupy Sales, Tab Hunter, Arthur O'Connell, Beverly Adams, Edward Andrews and guest star: Flipper!
Soup's only feature film is filled with fine slapstick comedy, but its overly silly mise-en-scene reduces it to a child's level. He is a janitor employed at a top-secret government installation, who is accidentally exposed to a secret radiation bombardment that renders him not only lighter than air but also irresistible to women. To Soupy's credit there are moments of inspired way-out gags, before the film finally deteriorates into a protracted running along the water reel.
