Review of The Illustrated Man (1969) by Jason P — 20 Feb 2012
Steiger overacts a bit in the by-the-lake scenes. I never get what he's so angry about. That's what you get when you let your lower half think for you. Regardless, there are a few things to like about this film.
It's a little slow-moving and a little confusing, but the sets are cool (especially the all-white futuristic set with some really cool furniture) and Rod's tats are pretty rad. I love late-sixties/erly-seventies sci-fi in particular for their sets (think 2001, Rollerball, Sleeper).
That alone makes this film worth the price of admission, so to speak.
