Its plotting and pacing are reminiscent of primitive 1930s serials, but this overcute movie otherwise lacks their Spartan charms (Christopher Lee, as the resident mad scientist, was better off in his Fu Manchu movies). On the plus side: Kim Richards is a paragon of juvenile virtues (that is, of adult virtues in a juvenile body); a billy goat provides a couple of lively minutes when called upon to perform some Rin Tin Tin heroics; and director John Hough throws in a few bizarre deep-focus shots to reassure you that he is still alive and well in Disneyland. All else is fizzle. With Bette Davis. (1978) — Duncan Shepherd
