If Only "Svengoolie" Would Show The 1936Version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                       Ah, the old one about the dummy controlling the ventriloquist.  Ever since Michael Redgrave defined it in the 1946 British anthology film, "Dead Of Night," this trope has been tried again and again; recently made memorable in 1978's "Magic," with Anthony Hopkins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                       So, girls, please forgive me if I cannot muster up any enthusiasm for tonight's film.  Lacking the likes of Maureen O' Sullivan, Frank Lawton, Lionel Barrymore--all from MGM's 1935 "David Copperfield--" not to mention the great Rafaela Ottiano--this 1964 cheesy Brit thriller has only William Sylvester, famous for one of the captors in 1961's "Gorgo," a role that took him nowhere.  Like the cast in this 1964 film went nowhere.  I am telling you, darlings, the dummy in this film outacts the human actors.

                                       All of us here have seen this before, and Baby Gojira remembers it as having lots of bosoms. So, if that is your preference, tune in, by all means.  If not, I am not so sure this film is worth seeing again.  "Svengoolie" could have picked a better film with which to end November.

                                         His December choices will round out the year.  Let's hope he does better, next month!  His last chance for 2025!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
