Reviews

This movie uses an ensemble cast, featuring a bubbly Edward G. Robinson (as a love-lorn man looking for the right woman) who does better work cast as the heavy. Alan Hale quips, the other cast members relate every bad pun the writer could think up about electricity, and Dietrich (we all know she won't be able to cut being a house wife...) stands around looking wooden and very bored. The "special" effects are hysterical (look for wires holding the actors up in the final storm scene), the plot formulaic and predictable and why a line man would actually go near a pole in the middle of a lightning storm is a question this movie blithely ignores. You'll be amazed at the amount of water used during the filming of this movie. Make sure you're seated near a bathroom while viewing and, if you have the opportunity to watch another film, pass this one up.
