Lost in Space (1965)
Dumbest Sci-Fi Ever!
This was one of the dumbest sci-fi shows. When the Lost in Space debuted in the 60's I eagerly waited for each show. As it progress the shows lack of writing talent made each episode inane and I quickly lost interest in it. Thank goodness Star Trek came along. The episodes disintegrated in nonsensical stories of regurgitated fairy tales, fake-stupid looking monsters and women actors who did stupid things and could not defend themselves. The show became dominated by the antics of Will, Dr. Smith and the robot. If Dr. Robinson and Don had given Dr. Smith a good right across the jaw it would have enhanced the show greatly because that's what we all wanted to do! On the side there was Penny much like 'Elly May' and her critters which added nothing and the undeveloped romance between Major West and Judy. Lost in Space had potential but became a comical circus show.
Scaramouche (1952)
An Unknown Gem
I came across this movie it in Blockbuster Movies Online while searching for movies to rent. I had never heard of this film before but the line up of stars, Stewart Granger, Eleanor Parker, Mel Ferrer and Janet Leigh, and the description intrigued me. The story of Scaramouche is set in the turbulent times prior to the French Revoultion. The film makes no political statement and is purely entertaining featuring some the greatest sword play ever filmed. The period costumes and sets are fantastic and the color superb throughout. Stewart Granger is at his dashing best and Janet Leigh is a beauty to behold! This is an unknown gem of a movie and deserves to be included the list of all time classics!
