This is kind of neat, Warner Bros<\/a>. 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. <\/p>\n

It includes this gem of a turkey, George Pal’s Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And, yes, Doc Savage had a Fortress of Solitude long before Superman.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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 City<\/a>m and a Harryhausen-free (and thankfully, Sinbad<\/a>-free) Captain Sindbad<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They don’t look bad, but I couldn’t say that they’re worth $20. <\/p>\n

Speaking of Sindbad, who’s that most remarkable extraordinary fellow?<\/p>\n
