Dread by the Decade: The Invisible Ray

👻 You can support me on Ko-Fi! ❤️

★★½

Plot: A brilliant astronomer driven mad by radiation embarks on a quest for revenge.

Review: This run-of-the-mill science fiction tale is made frustrating by its racist tropes and refusal to explore its more unique ideas.

Year: 1936 Genre: Sci-Fi Horror Country: United States Language: English Runtime: 1 hour 19 minutes

Director: Lambert Hillyer Writer: John Colton Cinematographer: George Robinson Editor: Bernard Burton Composer: Franz Waxman Cast: Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Frances Drake, Frank Lawton, Violet Kemble Cooper, Walter Kingsford

-----

Story: 2.5/5 - Abandons its most interesting concepts in favor of a generic revenge plot and tired mad scientist tropes.

Performances: 2.5/5 - Most of the actors are professional but none are particularly evocative. Lugosi is oddly flat.

Cinematography: 3.5/5 - One of the film's greatest strengths, with well-balanced shot composition and good shadow usage.

Editing: 3.5/5 - Coherent with good dissolves.

Music: 3/5

Effects & Props: 4/5 - Memorable effects, including sparks, melting rock, and laser beams.

Sets: 3/5 - Generic save for great, if underutilized, lab and castle sets.

Costumes, Hair, & Make-Up: 3/5

Trigger Warnings:

Mild violence

Racist depiction of black African people

Uncritical portrayal of European colonialism

Animal death

"TOO MUCH SPEED IN COURT FOR JUSTICE," Toronto Star. May 16, 1918. Page 2. ---- Man in Position of Trust Got Off With Lighter Sentence Than He Deserved. ---- THE CROWN HELPLESS ---- Companions in Offence, Who Weren't in Position of Responsibility, Get Stiff Terms. ---- By means of a key specially made for the purpose, Frank Gorham, a trusted employe of the Canadian Express Co., opened United States bonded cars and removed goods at his own sweet will. Clock, dress goods, and other things, valued at $97 are known to have been taken by him. For that offence he was to-day sentenced by Magistrate Kingsford to 90 days on the Jail Farm. The warrant of committal was duty signed. The prisoner was hustled off to jail. Half an hour later, when five other men had been convicted for stealing from the same company, and Magistrate Kingsford suspected a conspiracy, he remarked that if he had known all this at the time, he would have given Gorham a very much longer sentence. "Call Gorham up again," ordered Crown Attorney Corley. Too Late To Change. "He's in the jail now," reported the police. "I can have him brought right back again," said Mr. Corley. But counsel objected, the magistrate decided that it would be rather an irregular proceeding. and the accused escaped with the original sentence.

Ben Benjamin, a young Englishman, "picked up" 12 packages of cigarets, a bath robe and other small things in the car he was cleaning. He, too, must do his 90 days.

In the dock, all the while, were four other men, Squire Milner, Imperiale Enrico, Ernest Wheeler and Samuel Sparks, all charged with a similar, but much more extensive offence; and Walter H. Kilworth. charged with receiving the stolen goods. All were convicted. Enrico, Wheeler and Sparks, each got six months; Killworth got nine months: Milner, whose part in proceeding consisted in taking one cap, was remanded until to-morrow. $2,000 In Stolen Goods. Altogether, more than $2,000 worth of goods were found in possession of the gang. It was the largest single "haul" of railway thieves ever made by Grand Trunk Detective Smith. and served to reveal where at least a part of the $100.000 worth of good stolen from the same railway last year had gone to. Only a small por tion of the recovered goods were brought to court, but that portion made a pile bigger than the Crown Attorney's table.

...and the artist featured after this post

"I was invited by Hal McGee to curate an Electronic Cottage group project, so I came up with an idea to put together a compilation in which the members would contribute a 2 minute noise track and send it in AFTER the deadline of Feb. 28, 2023.

The tracks at the bottom of the compilation are the ones that came in first, (in some cases, BEFORE the deadline). The most slack submissions are the ones you'll see at the top. The list will be updated as more tracks come in.

Check back often (or whenever you might get around to it)!"

365 Day Movie Challenge (2017) - #198: Dancing Co-Ed (1939) - dir. S. Sylvan Simon

Dancing Co-Ed was an early vehicle for a still-teenage Lana Turner, who had yet to ascend to the sex symbol superstardom of The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946), The Three Musketeers (1948) and The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) and the soapy glamour of melodramas like Peyton Place (1957), Imitation of Life (1959) and Madame X (1966). Young Lana could be counted on for a peppy presence in romantic comedies and musicals in the late 30s and early 40s, and Dancing Co-Ed is no exception, although it is surely one of MGM’s most disappointingly mediocre films from that era.

Hard-working dancer Patty Marlow (Turner) struggles to support herself and her vaudevillian father (Leon Errol), so she jumps at the chance to take part in a “contest” rigged by an agent, Joe Drews (Roscoe Karns), and a popular entertainer, Freddy Tobin (Lee Bowman), to replace Tobin’s pregnant wife in an upcoming film production. The scheme, in which Drews and Tobin will search for a “fresh face” at colleges across the US, requires Patty to register at a university. Naturally, this becomes complicated when she falls in love with a fellow student, “Pug” Braddock (Richard Carlson), whose intrepid detective work as the school’s sharpest newspaperman eventually uncovers Patty’s deception and jeopardizes both their personal relationship and their college enrollment.

The film’s goofy comedy results in one nonsensical plot point after another, and after a certain point the conclusion that the story is headed for is obvious, but at least Dancing Co-Ed has three good things going for it: a) Lana Turner was a decent dancer, b) Artie Shaw (who married Turner during the making of the film) and his orchestra appear a few times, including a 21-year-old Buddy Rich, and c) some of MGM’s most reliable character actors and supporting players are featured in the cast, including Ann Rutherford, Thurston Hall, Mary Field, Walter Kingsford, June Preisser (a fantastic acrobat), Monty Woolley (flexing his jocular tongue, as usual), Chester Clute and Ethelreda Leopold.
