Review of It!

It! (1967)
7/10
"It" stands out by your uniqueness and Roddy McDowell's unmatched mannerism !!!
5 July 2020
Roddy McDowall always played weird characters with his peculiar mannerism, associate with a slight deranged mind, he plays the odd Arthur Pimm which work in a Museum at London as curator's assistant, when a Museum's storage burning left intact an old stone statue from ancient Hebrew's tale, which it cann't be destroyed by any means, the weird Arthur lives with her skeleton of his died mother, something alike Norman Bates behavior, after Curator's death Arthur has hope to replaces him at Museum, the commission board nominee the old Prof. Weal a stringent chief, who want get rid of hideous object, then he becomes in a new victim, in face a bad reputation of the statue, due the murders, the Americans sent an expert Jim Perkins (Paul Maxwell) to confirm its authenticity to make an offer to take it to New York Museum, he finds on stone statue some ancient written on old Hebrew language, the wise Arthur takes it to an old Rabbi to translate it, now in possession of the secret he gets reveal the hidden mystery across an old scroll at statue's feet and put it in his mouth, then it getting life at your command and will, also he was in love by a daughter of the late curator Ellen Grove (Jill Haworth) actually an unrequited love, aside all oddity Roddy McDowall made it interesting due his fabulous acting, also the eerie Golem as the statue was named by the press, the final is contrived and spoils a promising picture, enjoyable for your distinctiveness!!
