3.12.12

the night the world exploded (1957)

"There's an earthquake brewing, and it's a bg one."
When Dr. Conway (William Leslie) develops a machine that predicts when earthquakes will hit, he, and his beautiful (and obviously in love with him) female assistant Hutch (Kathryn Grant), head to Carlsbad Caverns to try and ascertain what is the cause of the recent earthquake. What they find is a new element, and forces unknown that seem to be manipulating it to explode the world.
Engaging B-flick, which cracks along at a pace, probably in the hope that we wouldn't notice the cheap script or props, but hell, ain't that the reason we watch these?
