    Camp delight

    One of my sci-fi/horror/fantasy reviews written 50 years ago: Directed by Frederick Stephani; Produced by Henry MacRae; Presented by Carl Laemmle, edited from the serial for feature film release by Universal Pictures. Screenplay by George Plympton, Frederick Stephani, Ella O'Neill and Basil Dickey; Photography by Jerry Ash and Richard Fryer; Edited by Louis Sackin, Saul Goodkind, Edward Todd and Alvin Todd; Music by Clifford Vaughan. Starring: Buster Crabbe, Jean Rogers, Priscilla Lawson, Charles Middleton, John Lipson, Dick Alexander, Frank Shannon, Duke York Jr., Earl Asham, Ted Lorch, James Pierce, Muriel Goodspeed and RIchard Tucker.

    Hilariously campy, hokey sci-fi serial (edited to feature length), that's noted for supporting performances and prototypical juvenile thrills in a makeshift Ming's court plus backlot rocky landscape.
