Movie review - "War Gods of the Deep" (1965) ** (re viewing) aka City Under the Sea

I watched this again for fun, really - and have to admit that even though it's silly and not up to the Corman Poe films, it has a certain magic about it. I think the fact that so much of it is set at night time, and underground/underwater. Dan Haller's production design is always worth watching, and Vincent Price is always good in this sort of role.

Susan Hart wasn't the best actress in the world but she's beautiful and has spirit - I actually liked her more than Tab Hunter. As for David Tomlinson and the comic duck, well... The script has clearly been rewritten and lacks logic but I went with it. There's too much of characters being under water at the end.
