Another Shiny Adamson Apple!

Another woefully bizarre Al Adamson mess, this one actually more coherent than many of his legendary paste-up jobs, but still wonderfully convoluted and ridiculous. The great John Bloom is asinine as a hulking monstrosity, and Kent Taylor is outstanding as a super-ham bad guy. A holy hallucination, this. I saw this with Adamson's extraordinary NURSE SHERRI at the drive-in. Oh, happy days!
