Girls, Join Us Tonight At 8PM, As "Svengoolie" Presents "First Men In The Moon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                           This is the film version of a 1901 novel by H.G. Wells of the same title.  I have seen the trailer and, though made in 1964, it suggests a Technicolor version of Georges Melies.

                                            The spaceship is antiquated, the color is like an old movie, and the cast is filled with stalwarts like Lionel Jeffries, Martha Hyder and Valentine Dyall.  Remember him as Jethro, Elizabeth Selwyn's acolyte in "The City Of The Dead"/Horror Hotel?"

                                              The special effects are by the great Ray Harryhausen, and that is special enough for me, darlings!!!!!!!!!!  This was when things were done for real, not like today's artificial CGI.

                                               Having never seen this film, I cannot promise artistic thrills, but the visuals should be stunning.  And I am sure The Sven Squad will be on hand..

                                                So, join David, me, Baby Gojira and Company for this special viewing tonight!

                                                And God help us next week, when The Sven Squad airs "Rosemary's Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
