Summary: Phantom from 10,000 Leagues/The Beast with a Million Eyes
Comment: I've watched both of them. They are old movies but at times you could watch them.
Customer Rating:
Summary: "Phantom" in wrong aspect ratio
Comment: You can't even trust the "Midnite Movies" these days ...
"Phanton" (the movie I bought this DVD for) is in wrong aspect ratio - 16:9 instead of 4:3! A comparison with a (much worse) other DVD version reveals, that on THIS DVD the movie is chopped of on top and bottom!!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent double feature.
Comment: Superb prints of two 'classic' 50s 'B' features. Both have excellent B/W photography and haunting scores. The Phantom From 10,000 Leagues - I love Kent Taylor's character's name 'Ted Baxter' (as soon as he introduces himself, you think of Ted Knight from The Mary Tyler Moore Show!).
The Beast With A Million Eyes is also very entertaining. The ever reliable Paul Birch heads the cast which includes an early performance by a very young Dick Sargent.
Buy this double feature today.

Summary: another good pairing in the MGM/Fox Midnight Movies series
Comment: Thanks again to MGM and Fox for resurrecting this DVD line. Here we have a couple of extremely low budget American International Pictures films (back when they were still known as American Releasing Corporation - in fact, I think these were the first two sci-fi/horror films put out by the legendary studio) that go perfectly together. Is either film great, even good? Not by a long shot in conventional terms, but these should be judged on a different standard than your average A movie. The point is, they're both a lot of fun in that way only drive-in movies from the era could be, and these two are an inspired pairing, rightly aimed directly at those of us who either saw the movies at drive-ins back in the 50s, who (more likely) saw them Saturday creature features matinees on TV, or who have recently discovered the wonders of cheap 1950s horror and science fiction and are rabid for the opportunity to finally see them. Fox and MGM, great work and please keep these Midnight Movies coming until you've exhausted your libraries. Two that you might consider (both available elsewhere on DVD, but they need the quality treatment): Dementia 13 and The Terror.
