Review of The Brain from Planet Arous (1957) by Daniel W — 16 Nov 2008
1957 is one of the best years for movies EVER; The Bridge on the River Kwai, Sweet Smell of Success, A Face in the Crowd, Paths of Glory, Twelve Angry Men. "The Brain from Planet Arous" stands...nowhere near any of them.
Nuclear scientist John Agar is drawn to the mysterious things that are happening on "Mysterious Mountain". Naturally, while investigating the "Mysterious Mountain", his body is taken over by a giant, floating, sleepy-eyed, alien brain, bent on world domination.
Back home, his girlfriend suspects there is something wrong with him when he demonstrates actual sexual attraction towards her. This alien brain has a serious horn for her.
"Brain" is doofy, cheeseball 50's sci-fi, that mercifully only lasts 70 minutes.
