ALL SCI-FI

[Bud Brewster]

This seldom-seen, low-budget curio from writer-producer-director Norman A. Cerf and Medallion TV productions stars Sabu Dastagir ("The Thief of Baghdad", "The Jungle Book"), David Bruce ("The Mad Ghoul") and George E. Stone.

The plot (slim as it is) does offer a flying saucer and a destructive energy beam, but the special effects are skimpy and not very impressive.

Youtube has a trailer which makes it look a bit better than it sounds. The dramatic narrator states that aliens control the jungle animals — and it shows a few scenes of a spinning flying saucer. He calls this, "Sabu's only science fiction adventure!"

There are about as many scenes of scientists in labs as there are scenes of critters in the jungle — which might mean nothing, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

After all these years I finally find out that Sabu had a last name!
