Featured review
THE GALS CRASH THE JOINT! LOOK OUT!
Edward L. Cahn was a master of some campy films in the 50s and early 60s, and this is one of them.
It's all about a large stash of stolen bank loot squared away somewhere, and the good gal versus the bad to get it all. But first, there's a classic prison escape, due to mother nature --an earthquake! Rare for 50s films, but a real treat with lots of shakin' and screamin' and cardboard sets rockin'!
Adele Jergens, popular blonde in lots of B films, plays the toughest cookie, and she's fantastic in this type of role. Many other familiar actresses on board, including veteran Jane Darwell and tv's first Lois Lane (Superman) Phyllis Coates. Richard Denning plays the good guy slash minister here, following the trail which leads to the broken down house of an old man, related to one of the stripes. The old bird is tough enough in his own way, and is the mazuma still hidden with him?
There's lots of scrambling and gunplay, and somehow it all jives in classic black and white. Watch Adele Jergens right to the bitter end!
Cahn directed this very well as the acting is quite good, not the cheapie its supposed to be.
The finale is memorable, in that sort of campy 50s style we all love. A special thank you to MOVIES Net for rerunning this classic on its late show lineup lately. Cahn's next classic, THE SHE CREATURE, followed by the ultimate, VOODOO WOMAN, some of these films he also produced.
Always on dvd for collectors. A Must.
