Almost scene-for-scene faithful to the novel by Michael Moorcock, this is a real odd duck that some will find difficult both to follow and swallow. I enjoyed the book, so I enjoyed the movie -- both are eccentric, light mind-benders. Fuest also gave us the equally stylish DR. PHIBES and some good episodes of THE AVENGERS before seemingly disappearing off the face of the earth.

"Colorful, but never manages to pull itself together in any way."
