Movie review - "The Fantasy Film Worlds of George Pal" (1985) **1/2

Solid documentary on the influential filmmaker who helped popularise science fiction. The best thing about the doco is it has plenty of clips, both from Pal's famous films such as The Time Machine but also his earlier work like The Puppetoons. It also has a number of newsreels, photos and interviews with people who worked with Pal, including Rod Taylor. Main drawback: it stops at The Seven Faces of Dr Lao in 1964, when Paul made a few more films- The Power, Doc Savage. I know the filmmakers wanted to end on a high but it feels weird - they didn't have to do into too much detail, but they should have mentioned he made two more films and died, at least.
