Viewing Notes
William Marshall’s Phantom Planet (1961) was a $3 DVD I picked up at Big Lots! today. That’s about the right value for this early 60s sci-fi stinker. That said the DVD does provide both the B&W and color version of the film. But anyone who thinks that Richard Kiel’s space monster, The Solarite, is even the least bit frightening is just sad but that monster is hilarious (just look at that thing! I want a plush version). Amusing bad b-movie.
