Viewing Notes

Taking a short break from FF viewing with this Fritz Lang period adventure. Reminds me a lot of the films I’d watch on Sunday afternoon after church (there was some cable station out of Chicago that played classics like Treasure Island and others). Decent enough movie but I will say that I would not have guessed Lang was the director if I didn’t already know beforehand.

Also, this is a very good daytime movie.
