PUNQ

Rated 23 Aug 2023

Byron Michie was a tall actor who only appeared in two weird American-Japanese productions in 1951, only to be never seen again. A bit part in Tokyo File 212 (1951), but in Oriental Evil (1951) he's gets the freakin' top billing! At least he's joined by a future Academy nominee Martha Hyer, whose inclusion increases the interest in this B-movie immensely. A strange low-budget affair. More a curio than anything making sense. But I appreciated the weirdness.
