(1959) Robert Clarke, Darlene Tompkins, Arianne Arden, Vladimir Sokoloff, Stephen Bekassy, John Van Dreelen, Ken Knox, directed By Edgar Ulmer. First time in widescreen DVD video. A jet pilot from the 20th century breaks through a time barrier in the sky to a plague-ravaged Earth, menaced by mutants. The leaders of the last of humanity (all of whom live underground) try to set Clarke up with Tompkins, who is the only fertile woman left on Earth. Lots of sci-fi intrigue with a big revolt and mutants running crazy at the end of the film. Final shots of Clarke’s ravaged face are memorable (makeup by Jack Pierce). One of those cool drive-in films we all grew up way back when. Released by AIP. 35mm.
