Gog (1954)




A security agent investigates sabotage and murder at a secret underground laboratory, home of two experimental robots.

Above-average, original sci-fi drama within a Cold War background still is quite silly, but quite entertaining and it's good color cinematography is enjoyable to watch.

Halliwell*: "Brisk, imaginative low-budget sci-fi in gleaming colour, well staged and developed."

Maltin**: "OK sci-fi..."

Midnight Lace (1960)



In London, a newly-wed American woman's sanity comes into question, when she claims to be the victim of a stalker.

Routine thriller a bit in Hitchcock's vein has some good memts, but Doris Day's performance is a wee bit over the top.

Halliwell*: "Thoroughly silly rehash of Gaslight and The Boy Who Cried Wolf; its glamorous accoutrements can't fight a lack of humour or predictable plot development."

Maltin***: "Shrill murder mystery; unbelievable plot line, but star cast and decor smooth over rough spots."
