CINEMA CYCLE
(Cardio Workout And Reviewing Movies At The Same Time)
DATE REVIEWED: 10/27/2017
FORMAT: VHS
TIME RIDDEN / FILM LENGTH: 80 minutes
DISTANCE RIDDEN WHILE VIEWING: 23.6 miles
TOTAL CINEMA MILES LOGGED: 7817.4 miles
SYNOPSIS: A Frenchy Lieutenant pursues the dead wife of a reclusive count.
CONCEPT IN RELATION TO THE VIEWER: Basic film making in the 1950s. There were blockbusters put out by major studios and then there were these low budget affairs produced for the drive-in movie crowd.
PROS AND CONS: The plus is, that you get to see a very young Jack Nicholson and a very old Boris Karloff share a lot of screen time together.
The minus is, this isn’t a well written film that is slow with very little plot. One thing that is evident, is the large sound stage that they were able to convert into a gothic castle. Which is probably the star of the film.
This is one of the films that is in the public domain, so the quality and visual images are not the best. What is probably most impressive is the box cover art for the series, which, while impressive, does not do the contents justice.
This film is a part of my LaserDisc Collection.
Clicking on the title will take you to the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) entry for this film.
This film was viewed while exercising on my recumbent cycle. A summary of my time spent working out on my journey through movie-land can be found on Strava.com.
