It’s
October and many film fans in our community are watching horror films
in advance of Halloween. The See Hear crew have gone their own path
and are watching something completely different…..or have they?
In
episode 21, we discuss a film with torture, imprisonment, and
nightmares…..and it’s a kid’s film. Not just any kid’s film,
though. Bernard, Tim and I discuss the 1953 film The 5000 Fingers of
Dr T, directed by Roy Rowland, produced by Stanley Kramer (though
some folks think he had a strong hand n its direction), and written
by Theodore Geisel AKA Dr Seuss. There’s themes here post WW2 and
of the Cold War, but it’s also about a kid having the freedom to be
allowed to find time to do his own thing. We discuss things like
shlooping and shleeping, Warners cartoons, Yellow Submarine, kids’
imaginations, scary figures in kids films, and George Chakiris. As
usual, we had a ton of fun talking about this film. Please give the
show a listen, and watch the film with a kid in your life.
