Featured review
Bobby's Comet
It you ever wondered why sci-fi was held in such low regard in the 1950s look no further than 'Menace from Space', which shows precious little development since the days of 'Flash Gordon'.
Based on a serial - which explains its length - presumably set in the future since the heroine is dressed like a principal boy and people communicate by TV - but filled with vintage cars and very much reflecting the preoccupations of the Cold War, the opening scene depicts an astronomer at Griffith Observatory (called Professor Newton, geddit?) who proposes a placidly paced journey to Jupiter a full fifteen before '2001' (the film not the year) were the additional gravity prompts a highly non-PC comment upon the leading lady's weight.
