Review of Billion Dollar Brain (1967) by Greg N — 06 Jan 2010
Ken Russell making a guy named Harry Palmer boring. It even had Karl Malden's giant nose and sexy Francoise Dorleac, Catherine Denueve's much cooler sister. Actually, it's not really boring.
Just stupid. Ham fisted. Politically savy like a five year old fed left wing propoganda. Yes, everything I've said should make this exciting but somehow it doesn't. By the end when cowboy hat wearing lunatics are gunning it out on an ice cap, you know you've lost it.
At least, it always looks pretty. Ken Russell rarely makes an ugly mess.
