Russ G 10/23/2022 Devilishly handsome and debonair Walter Pidgeon engages in some more than potential disbarment behavior, but in the end it's All Good - except for the mobster-with-a-heart-of-gold Tony getting plugged - as justice prevails and he gets the girl. Or, at least, the 2nd girl. After this it was off to a forbidden planet to father Anne Francis before murdering all his fellow space colonists! See more Read all reviews
