This is kind of neat, Warner Bros. is putting their old, rare and neglected films for sale online. Unfortunately, its DVD and not on-demand…and they all seem to cost about $20, which is a bit high for what was once late-night TV or UHF fare.

It includes this gem of a turkey, George Pal’s Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze.

And, yes, Doc Savage had a Fortress of Solitude long before Superman.

I’m a big Doc Savage fan — and George Pal, for that matter — but this one is a turd. Its played for camp, but in that 60s-70s elbow poke in the ribs sort of way. Fui.

There are a couple of films in the archive that I’m interested in checking out, including a Captain Nemo flick starring Chuck Conners Captain Nemo and the Underwater Citym and a Harryhausen-free (and thankfully, Sinbad-free) Captain Sindbad.

They don’t look bad, but I couldn’t say that they’re worth $20.

Speaking of Sindbad, who’s that most remarkable extraordinary fellow?
