For some reason this was a cult favorite on late nite movies in Milwaukee in the early fifties, long before Mystery Science Theater 3000 picked it up.

A movie trying to hit a higher level that I remember as being horrible because I was unwillingly made to go with my crazed teenage daughter was "Velvet Goldmine", which was David Bowie meets Citizen Kane. Had a cast of people I like including Toni Collette, but I remember it as being a pretentious horror. If it's on line, I might have to have another look but suspect that ten minutes will be enough.

A very close friend I went to HS with is Arch Hall's son.

It is absolutely worth watching. Prior to watching it, though, I suggest watching the movie "Ed Wood" from the 90's, which is among my favourites.

Arch Sr. and Arch Jr. were both fascinating. Equal to Ed Wood in strangeness. Arch Sr. was born in St. Louis and grew up in South Dakota. (I live in St Louis and grew up in South Dakota) Spoke Lakota and had an Indian funeral. Haven't checked recently but someplace on YouTube is (was) a video of Arch Jr. rocking in a club in Pittsburgh (I think)--actually had talent that wasn't in the movie, must have come out decades later. The old man directed and got himself into the supporting cast of Eegah. I've been pushed over the edge. Think the complete Eegah is somewhere on YouTube. Gotta watch it tonight. Maybe a double feature with Plan 9. Eegah is one of the few movies whose plot I know by heart.

Liked Taxi Driver and Soylent Green is one of Charlton Heston's greatest over acting, chew up the scenery performances and there were a lot of 'em. If you watched that and Planet of the Apes back to back your head would explode.

Can't remember other than Nicholas Cage being the main detraction.
