Darlings, Join Us Tonight At 8PM, As "Svengoolie" Presents "Doctor Cyclops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

                                      This 1940 film is rarely shown--I have not seen it since I was a child--and it is so iconic it is mentioned in Roger Corman's 1959 cult classic, "The Wasp Woman."

                                        Albert Dekker, a fine actor who plays the title role, is venturing into the same territory as that of Lionel Barrymore in MGM's 1936 "Devil Doll."  He wished to increase the world's food supply by decreasing the size of people.  Of course, no one wants to face up to reality, like biology, and that once the food supply is exhausted, how are little people to farm and do agriculture when they have not been trained for it????????????

                                          But I am overthinking this.  Just enjoy Dekker's performance--he wants to control the environment by shrinking people--and glamorous Janice Logan, as one of the tinys he toys with!!!!!!!!!!  Girls, if we are ever shrunk, we should all look like Janice Logan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                           This is a film not only better suited to "Svengoolie" but to The Svengoolie Squad.  I hope Nostalgiaferatu appears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                              And the film won an Oscar for Best Special Visual Effects.  Who knew?

                                              So, do not miss this rarely shown film.  It could be your last chance to see it!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                              I am telling you, girls, even in B films, people dressed better in the 1940's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            See what I mean, dolls?????????????????????
