Review of Batman and Robin (1949) by Rob Ó — 13 Oct 2011
A vastly under-rated, gloriously cheesy romp. Its laughably straight-faced corniness and ineptitude ended up being the primary inspiration for the iconic Adam West spoof of the 1960s. This 15-part chapter-play moves at surprisingly lightning-pace and while it could never be described as truly 'good'; its selection of dime-store detective work, oafish fight sequences and deus ex machina escapes never, ever fails to entertain.
