ALL SCI-FI

[Bud Brewster]

_____


Kenneth More stars in this British satire. (American viewers should bear in mind that British humor never aims at belly laughs, just giggles.)

In a series of rigorous tests, More demonstrates his amazing ability to withstand heat, cold, G-forces, etc. The British Space Ministry considers him the perfect astronaut — despite the fact that he's none too bright.

When they launch him to the Moon, he lands a bit short of his destination — in Australia. But that's fine with More, because the heavenly body he really wants to visit is Shirley Anne Field, who plays a strip tease artist with outstanding talents.

Directed by Basil Dearden.

The trailer makes the movie seem funnier than it really is, but I like the joke at the beginning where two space officials decide they want to avoid "another public outcry" caused by sending those poor dogs and monkeys up in capsules, so they'll just send a human instead.
