Lizzy Tex Borden's

Monday, August 27, 2018

I watched "TROG" (1970) starring Joan Crawford. Ms. Crawford sold this

movie. If not for her, this movie would have been terrible. Ms. Crawford

herself considered this to be the worst picture she was ever in. But she

gave it her all and it pulled me in. This movie asked an interesting

question I think. TROG, a murdering "missing link" on one hand was

invaluable to science, but on the other hand was a nightmare to

a neighboring village whose inhabitants wanted him destroyed.

What to do. What to do.

TROG onscreen at Borden Cinema. Fun Fact: TROG's suit is a prop from

"Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) re-purposed. I will

rate this movie 5 out of 10 Tranquilizer Pistols.

This was Joan Crawford's last movie.
